What Most People Forgot . . .

Kansas City Star

In light of the almost expiring CBA talks and the possibility of not having a NFL season next year, some people might have forgotten that 101 Sports Writers banquet was tonight. The awards were announced before the end of the NFL season, but the presentations were being held tonight.

Among the winners were players Michael Vick (Eagles), Tom Brady (Patriots), Clay Matthews (Packers), Troy Polamalu (Steelers), and coaches Mike Smith (Falcons) and Todd Haley (our very own Chiefs).

Todd Haley won the award for AFC Coach of the Year from the 101 Sports Writers Association. He was presented the award by his father, Dick Haley. And although Haley missed out on the Associated Press Coach of the Year, it is still a nice tribute to a fantastic year.

Other Chiefs in attendance Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry, the recipients of the individual Chiefs honors of MVP and rookie of the year.
