Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren was given the Horri gan Award, which goes to the person, other than a player, who helped the media best do their jobs this past season, while the Seahawks' media relations staff was given the Rozelle Award to honor one of the league's media relations staffs for its work in the previous season.
Packers quarterback Brett Favre, who announced his retirement this past March, was given the Good Guy Award, to honor the player who helped the media best do their jobs.
