excellent.

I hope Nate Salant enjoys the trophy presentation.

And by "the trophy presentation", I'm sure you mean "kicking it around until it's chipped/broken, wrapping it in a single layer of cellophane, sliding it in a large, unpadded manila envelope, shipping it via cheapest means possible, and then later following up with an apology letter when it arrives in tatters, saying 'oops, must've gotten busted in the shipping process. We'll get you a new one', with the 'in 2073' understood."

Then he'll offer John Thompson a GSC pullover as a sign of goodwill.

I wouldn't expect anything less.
