Richard Seymour Called "Man of the Year"
OAKLAND, CA - Mere hours after Raiders' lineman Richard Seymour decked a helmeted Ben Roethlisberger during the Steelers' rout on Sunday, support for Seymour's punch rolled in from all over America, including a Georgia woman:
"It was one of the happiest days of my life, seeing that creep drop like a bag of sand," the woman said.
As eTrueSports went to press, Raiders owner Al Davis announced Seymour will be the first ever recipient of The Silver and Black Character Award. A sampling of the praise heaped on the nation's newest hero:
