Accolades for Patriots

Since the end of the regular season, the Patriots have received the following awards:
  • Tom Brady has been named the AP's Offensive Player of the Year.
  • Coach Bill Belichick has been named Coach of the Year.
  • Tom Brady has been named Most Valuable Player.
Brady is the first Patriot to win MVP and OPOY. He's the fourth straight double winner, joining the Colts' Peyton Manning, running back Shaun Alexander of Seattle, and LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers.

There was some question as to why Belichick was named Coach of the Year since he was fined earlier in the season for cheating. (In the NFL, if a player is caught cheating, they're automatically ineligible for any NFL season awards given by the League.) The COY award is given by the AP, not the NFL, so Belichick was (deservedly, IMO still eligible).

Since you want me to stop hating on the Sox, I'll refrain from my feelings on the Pats. :)

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt & assume you're born & bred Pats fan and not a front-runner, who just realized there's an NFL team in New England sometime in December, 2001. Unfortunately, that's all I seem to be surrounded by, with a few exceptions.
