Column: Another socially distanced Newby Awards for 2021

Ohhh, how we’d love to stroll down the imaginary red carpet, pretend to dole out some statuettes, and make-believe we’re attending a train wreck of an after-party at Kanye West’s new house before he tears it down.

Urban Meyer seemed a lock for this prize … until he hired a strength coach accused of racism, and signed Tim Tebow to play tight end, and skipped a team flight so he could get in some quality family time with a woman who was not his wife, reportedly berated the assistant coaches he hired as “losers,” allegedly kicked his kicker in a fit of rage and largely forgot everything he knew about winning football games.
