Jared Allen Wins The Sporting News Defensive Player Of The Year

PrintJared Allen has calf-roped another accolade, this one the Defensive Player of the Year, awarded by The Sporting News:
I don't know about you guys, but after awhile, Allen was the only player I really focused on when the defense was on the field. And it didn't matter if the Vikes were up by 10 or down by 20, he was just as relentless.
It's nice to see that Allen got some well deserved recognition, and the fact that he beat out DeMarcus Ware by just a couple votes is a testament to how good Allen is and how bad the Vikings were.
Congratulations, JA!

Quite frankly,
by about week 11, 12, all I really felt I had left to root for was a.) Ponder doing well and proving he would be a good QB, and b.) Jared Allen sacking fools left and right and breaking the record.
So close on both… so far on both… G-d if it wasn’t the Minnesota Vikings, eh?
261 Daily Norseman readers and counting say I am a genius... the masses have spoke!
...and those who voted 'moron' were secretly Packer trolls.

its “defensive player of the year”, not “whiney over-rated angry mad man of the year” so Suh is out of the question, as is chris cook unfortunatly…

"Go hard. I mean, like relentless. I want a bunch of coaches that coach like their hair’s on fire, and I want a football team that goes for four to six seconds (per play) with relentless effort." OSU Coach Urban Meyer.
exactly my point, and after he got suspended he whined about “self defense” or whatever he tried to pass it off as and then drove hinself into a tree. even with those two suspended games hes still supposed to be there star, and when your star cant sack QB’s in a division with the vikes bears and packers O-lines but is still hyped then hes overrated

Rumor has it that...
Ndamukong Suh and Nascar driver Kurt Busch attended anger management classes together. Only problem is that now Ndamukong Suh screams at his teammates, and Kurt Busch has been seen stomping on his race car!!!
