Patriots Receive Two 'Biggest Jerk Awards'

by Matt Birch on Jul 23, 2010 4:09 PM EDT

A quirky, little poll was conducted by some of the NFL writers for Covers.Com to discern who the biggest jerks in football are. The results are not surprising.

In an article titled "Pigskin pricks: The biggest jerks in the NFL," New England managed to snag not one, but two awards! Below are their writeups to go along with their selections.

Remember Pat the Patriot? We wrote about him last season when he was nabbed in a prostitution sting. (In case you missed the article, feel free to view it [here].)

Mascot – Pat Patriot, New England Patriots

Creepy enough to begin with, the character that traipses around took a hit when one of the humans behind the costume, 47-year-old Robert Sormanti, got caught in a Rhode Island prostitution sting. Wait, it gets weirder. Turns out that Sormanti’s boss at the time of the arrest was his ex-wife, Tracy, who was in charge of the Patriots’ cheerleaders.

Cheerleader – Caitlin Davis, New England Patriots

What is it with the Patriots? Caitlin lost a nice gig on the Gillette Stadium sidelines when pictures of her appeared on Facebook. Seems innocent enough. Problem was, the picture was of her drawing anti-semitic comments and male genitalia on a guy whose crime was to get loaded and pass out at a Halloween Party at Boston College.

Others receiving votes?

Coach - Tom Cable, Oakland Raiders
Player - Larry Johnson, Washington Redskins
Executive - A.J. Smith, San Diego Chargers
Owner – Dan Snyder, Washington Redskins
Fans – Those two women who got loaded at the Lions game

Congrats to the Patriots on their ~~victory~~! Keep up the good work, guys!

I admit, Tom Cable is a jerk for breaking an assistant coach’s jaw and then covering it up, but I still think that Bill Belicheat should have taken the coach category as well.

Ok, when your team mascot gets busted with a hooker, that’s pretty funny. But the rest of this is just stupid. Larry Johnson said a slur against homos, so we have to pile on him (easy with the pun there) and Cable smacked around his former wife or something, so we’re obligated to be outraged about that (yawn). And the cheerleader? All you have to do is say “I have a friend who’s arabic” to earn yourself the anti-semetic label these days. Who cares? I’m surprised the PC police don’t have Jay Feely on the list for wanting immigration laws enforced.

Poor Dan Snyder is just clueless. You have to feel bad for a guy who’s squandered as much coin as he has. And how about AJ Smith’s nickname, “Lord of No Rings” – Classic!

Sorry, if you don’t think what that Pats cheerleader did was offensive, you belong on the jerk list as a fan, ahead of the two drunk chicks fighting at a Lions game – after all, the Lions sucked, what else was there to do at their games but get loaded and belligerent?

Larry Johnson also assaulted 4 women in the past, and Tom Cable broke his own coach’s jaw. I think they qualify (although not ahead of Belicheat)
