Jim Saccomano puts into perspective how important the NFL Sportsmanship Award -- for which DeMarcus Ware is a finalist -- is to the sport.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos Pro Bowl pass-rushing star DeMarcus Ware has won many accolades in his career, but he is a finalist for a new one this year.
The NFL Sportsmanship Award will be given Saturday night, and Ware is one of eight finalists.
Fittingly, the award, new this year, is named for Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Rooney.
Mr. Rooney, "The Chief," was a sportsman back in the day when that meant a truly diversified interest in sports, especially horse racing.
