There is one more award…. and I have procrastinated in writing this recap because of it. There are so many guys who are MVPs when it comes to Jewball. But mvp is not an award to be given out lightly. It is a signal that this person, this player, this jewballer is the best of the best. Not necessarily only in talent on the field but that they personify what a jewballer is and they have reached the pinnacle of that success. This year, after the dust all settled, it came down to two people. The never aging rat in Mighty and the always staying young Zinnvader. Both guys are truly deserving of the award. Both guys have played through everything and dominated the 25-26 season. While I can get into the Stats and break down the numbers, what both mighty and zinn do on the field isn’t always computed in a number on a screen. The amount of times QBs have to say “hey dont throw it there” which then leads to someone else getting a sack or int or the amount of times they get double covered so someone else can get open and catch a TD just shows how much attention one needs to pay them on the field. To still perform and lead the league in tds and a bunch of other stats just goes to show you how incredible these two players are and how lucky we are to have them as jewballers.

While Jordan and the Advisor to the Commish had their own thing going, Mighty is my bath buddy and someone who I really look up to when it comes to football. He’s been one of the best players in a league full of incredible talent for the past decade. He is going up against guys half his age and still playing every play with the same intensity as he has always had. While I have known mighty since before jewball, back to the old football and basketball days in KGH with his dad, I didn’t understand the legend of mighty until more recently. Yes, Jordan likes to make sure we all think of him as someone who thinks he’s better than us, but Mighty has been nothing but supportive this entire season. Whether it be private messages with ideas about jewball or on the field discussions on actual gameplay, I have learned a ton from Mighty this past season. To showing up in an elf suit for jesus bowl, to monsey for Lego, or to just come back to film game 2s or watch from the sidelines, he absolutely personifies jewball through and through and it is a privilege to be able to share the field with him week in and week out. He is our reigning mvp and for good reason and deserves every bit of this year’s MVP award. But now that I have spoken about mighty…. I guess you all know where I am headed.

5 years ago a skinny athletic kid scoots up to a jewball game… yaron calls his mom and the rest is history. Now he is a Jewball MVP. It’s hard to argue that Zinn could not have won MVP in past years. He certainly had the numbers for it and before Lego he was probably the last rookie who just bought into everything we do here with such a youthful exuberance. He has been the most dominant player in jewball since he joined. While this isn’t strictly a numbers award, Zinn led the league in tds this season with 27 while only playing 19 games at wr. add to that 3 rushing tds, 5 passing tds and 7 ints on defense, this season was all around for zinn. Yes, while he may have struggled with time occasionally, he was always there to jump into game 2 when needed and to bring plus 1s whenever we had some trouble getting to 14. He has become a leader both on and off the field well beyond his years. Personally, I don’t know if I have ever played against someone who you have to account for where he is on the field as much as Zinn. Someone wise once said that we have gotten so lucky that some jewballers feel like they’ve been created in a lab. Now that is not just referring to on field talent. That is referring to a Jewball state of mind as a whole and Zinn personifies that to the max. Zinn, like I said for Lego, we are so freaking happy for you on your wedding iyh, we are def a bit saddened that we won’t see as much of you on the field next season. I sincerely hope that you and dobs carpool each and every week together and that you continue your dominance with us and we see many more mvps in your future. I could go on and on and talk about how good of a player Zinn is but we all know it. There was some poetic justice last year when Mighty finally won MVP in Jordan’s last season despite arguably deserving a whole bunch of times before that. In that same vein, passing the MVP from one guy who could have won it every year in Mighty to another in Zinn feels somewhat surreal as a rookie commish. Therefore, with whatever power Jordan vested in me and without creating an ego (I hope)…Zinn, you are officially the 2025-2026 Jewball MVP. “From Roy to MVP – the Invader Scoot Story”. IYH many more of these in your future. Zinn, wishing you nothing but simcha and mazel as you start out your new life together with your kolloh.
