Peter Dyakowski selects nothing but kickers for TSN players’ poll

Peter Dyakowski has made his selections for the annual TSN players’ poll and there is some, uh, questionable decision-making.

The veteran Saskatchewan Roughriders offensive lineman, once anointed Canada’s Smartest Person by CBC, has filled his ballot with nothing but kickers – including the categories for hardest hitter (Ottawa’s Brett Maher) and fastest player (Calgary’s Rene Paredes.)

He also included Riders’ long snapper Jorgen Hus as the player “most likely to score from anywhere on the field.”

It was down to Lirim or Hus for that last spot. Toughest decision of my life.

The one kicker Dyakowdki left off his list: Toronto’s Lirim Hajrullahu, with whom he was briefly teammates earlier this season. But Dyakowski had an explanation for that as well.

You noticed my typo correction! One of my few phobias is a public typo. That's the real reason I left out @Lirim_70

The lesson, as always: Peter Dyakowski is awesome.
