Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett brought some unexpected heat to the 2016 MTR Western Sports Star of the Year Awards Wednesday night.
As the winner, Bennett gave a speech and addressed the other finalists -- Sounders star Clint Dempsey, Mariners DH Nelson Cruz, Washington State quarterback Luke Falk, Washington golfer Cheng-Tsung Pan and Seattle University soccer's Pete Fewing -- and took that opportunity to zing Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
"I hope you guys aren't sore losers like Cam Newton," Bennett said, via SeattlePI.com.
The remark allegedly drew a big laugh and Bennett went on to hurl some one-liners at his fellow Seattle-area stars.
