SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

*father, to young son* "Boy, make sure you find yourself a woman who defends you the way Kate Upton defends Justin Verlander from rogue Cy Young voters."

I'm going to have Ivanka Trump create a solid gold Ayesha Edition Steph Curry Game 6 mouthpiece and present it to Kate.

The Giselean inscription on the inside of the box will read:

"My Husband Cannot Fucking Throw The Ball And Catch The Ball At The Same Time"

Waiting to hear back about whether Olivia Munn wants to add any Aaron Rodgers quips to the presentation.

I need sponsors for this. I'm thinking Turtle Wax. Oh, wait - that's an automotive product.

Please tell me this didn't happen because some Boston sportswriters resorted to Yankme tactics ...

It seems it was BOTH Tampa Bay writers that left him off their ballots.

They would have both had to give him at least 3rd place on each of their ballots to give Verlander the Cy Young award (by one point).

God, Florida can't get anything right voting-wise, can they?

Figured it couldn't be Boston .. too much class and appreciation there.

Tampa has sportswriters? Do they actually attend sporting events?

Porcello had a career year. Verlander was better.
