Well, here’s a winner of the Ed Block Courage Award that won’t spark any controversy.
Tom Brady was named as New England’s recipient after a vote by his teammates, according to the Boston Herald. Brady has battled back from torn knee ligaments and complications from an infection after the surgery.
Brady spoke this week that what he’s fought though is typical of his profession.
“Like all of us, I’ve battled some adversities and all of my teammates have too. It’s really just what part of what this profession is. A lot of it is being mentally tough and bouncing back from things that don’t necessarily go our way.”
The award is intended to honor courage, compassion, commitment and community.
No matter what you think of Mike Vick winning the Eagles’ Ed Block award, something positive has occurred because he won the honor.
Vick’s publicity has helped spotlight a meaningful award and a worthy foundation dedicated to improving the lives of neglected children and prevent child abuse.
