Nice for Freddy-T getting some love after getting the golden shaft for his Pro-Bowl snub!! It still pisses me off that Taylor and Mario William got snubbed this year. But at least he got this award and he is going to the Pro-Bowl as an alternate.

Favre, Taylor named FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year

Taylor led the Jaguars to an 11-5 record and the number five seed in the AFC by rushing for 1,202 yards (fifth in the AFC, ninth in the league) over only 223 carries (5.4 average) and scoring five touchdowns. Taylor helped the Jaguars finish strong by finishing his season with five 100-plus yard games in Weeks 12-16, with one of his best performances coming at Pittsburgh, rushing for 147 yards over 25 carries and scoring one touchdown to beat the Steelers 29-22. This year, Taylor became the 21st running back in history with 10,000 yards rushing (10,715). Taylor was nominated for two FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week awards in 2007, winning once.

Well it is the NFL section and I suppose he's just proud of his guy. I like Taylor. I think he's probably the most underrated RB of the last 10 years. He'll be that guy that gets put on the HOF ballot a long time from now and you'll think "yeah that makes since. It's about time."

Still........I'm not going to honor the guy while we still have to play him twice a year, sorry. ;)
