Awards
Deadspin introduced two honors in 2006. The Deadspin Hall of Fame and the Sports Human of the Year Award, Deadspin's answer to Sports Illustrated's Athlete of the Year and Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

Sports Human of the Year Award
The 2006 Sports Human of the Year award was won by Barbaro, despite not being human. The Sports Human of the Year award, or SHOTY, is run in a single elimination NCAA Final Four style format. Readers were allowed to nominate competitors with the top 16 selected and seeded by the editors. Readers then voted in head-to-head match ups for whom they thought should advance. Two months after the voting process began, Barbaro beat out a heavily favored Chris Berman amid voting irregularities; Deadspin staff admitted that the voting for the award might have been tampered with.

Deadspin Hall of Fame
On Wednesday, September 6, 2006, Deadspin.com released its inaugural class of the Deadspin Hall of Fame. The site took nominations from the public and then distilled the nominees down to a select few. Visitors then voted on the candidates, with 75% being the standard for induction.
