He's pretty courageous with the ladies.

His injury last year was a "freak' injury for football- more common in a car crash. But he came back and had very good year.

No one said the award was a crystal ball. 11 of 12 on that list is a pretty good batting avg.

Thanks PatJew. Glad you came back.

:D

Congrats!!!!!!!!

Congrats Sammy! We deserves.

It really disgusts me though that Meggett has any association with the Patriots. It is a shame that he dishonors an award that honors the best of the Patriots players.

I agree. Let's rescind it.

He's a (former) football player. An entertainer. Does it really bother you that much? Are you disgusted that you listened to Michael Jackson music?

I mean, they probably could have picked a better winner, but it's less disgusting and more hilarious.
