The NFL's regular season is coming to a close so it's time to for players to be awarded for what they’ve accomplished this season. I went through all the individual awards and predicted winners.

MVP: Tom Brady

Despite being suspended for four games to start the season Brady stepped right and played better than ever. Posting a 25-to-2 TD-to-INT ratio in eleven games and losing just once to the Seattle Seahawks. Even at the 39 years old Brady has continued to perform better than ever.

Offensive Player of The Year: Matt Ryan

Matty Ice has led a balanced Falcons offense to a first place finish in the NFC South. Ryans has a career-best 115.5 passer rating which leads the league, is third in passing yards (4,613) and third in touchdown passes (34).

Defensive Player of The Year: Khalil Mack

Mack is a one-man wrecking crew and has single-handedly won the Raiders a few games this season. He has 11 sacks, one interception, five forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.

Offensive Rookie of The Year: Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott's top competition for this award is his own quarterback Dak Prescott but I think he edged him out. Elliot leads the league in rushing with 1,631 yards and is just 177 yards shy of setting the all-time rookie rushing record.

Defensive Rookie of The Year: Jalen Ramsey

Ramsey has been one of the few bright spots for the Jaguars this season. The No. 5 pick has proven that he's a shutdown corner with 61 tackles, 13 passes defended, one forced fumble, and two interceptions this season.

Comeback Player of The Year: Demarco Murray

Usually, the player that wins this award was injured the season prior but Murray just had a down year with Eagles after signing there as a free agent. In 2014 he led the league in rushing but last season he fell all the way down to 27th. This season he's bounced backed with 1,266 rushing yards on 282 carries and nine rushing touchdowns.

Coach of The Year: Jason Garrett

This is the easiest award to predict the have had the Cowboys have had the best record in the NFL for most of the season and the best team coach usual wins this award. Garrett has kept his young team in check and has them playing at their best just in time for the playoffs.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination
