No wonder the voters are gagging.

Lots of observers, including many of his fellow corners, vehemently disagree, often claiming that he’s more a product of his defensive teammates than of his own ability. Ironically, Norman on Wednesday — at the end of his first offseason with his new team in Washington — took time to give unsolicited praise to his defensive teammates and pitch them as one cohesive unit.
