In the best way possible.

In one quip, Michael Bennett drew perhaps the loudest laughs inside the Paramount Theatre Wednesday night at the 2016 MTR Western Sports Star of the Year Awards... "I hope you guys aren't sore losers like Cam Newton," the Seahawks defensive lineman told the finalists nominated for the Male Sports Star of the Year honor.

He later said "There's a lot of stars in this town, I just happen to be the best one."

Dude's maybe the best interview in all of sports. I liked this tidbit too...

When you get awards from any other place outside your city it doesn't mean as much," he said. "When you get it from your city it makes a big difference.

Hope he's here for a couple more years yet.

Saw an opinion piece on Yahoo today bashing Bennett for the zinger. Author showed his ignorance of Bennett by attributing the Newton comment to being nervous in front of a large group of people, making him desperate for a laugh. HOGWASH! Bennet is consistent, regardless of group size.
