Nominee: Noah Herron

Note to potential burglars...don't break into the house of an NFL player, unless you are absolutely certain he's not home.

Of course, two idiots entered the home of former Green Bay Packers running back Noah Herron earlier this year. The basic details are that Herron was playing video games upstairs. He heard glass breaking on the first floor, so he phoned police. He didn't just hide away from the burglars, though. He unscrewed a bedpost, and put one of the criminals in the hospital.

The other man, if we even want to call him that, wisely fled the house immediately and was greeted by the arriving police.

Herron was fine.

I love this quote, by the way:

"Noah Herron used necessary, reasonable and justifiable force in protecting his life and property," Kocken said in a statement. "Herron, the victim in this random home invasion, is cooperating with law enforcement."

The victim. That's so awesome.

I hereby nominate Noah Herron for the 2008 Flosey Award.

Finally, if there is an anti-Flosey -- the list would be far too long -- I'd nominate the burglar that ran outside like a scalded dog while Herron lit up his partner in crime.
