    Weak.

    He's a nice story and has had a good year but c'mon.

    How about Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, or Tom Brady?

    i don't have a problem with it, it's probably more like a lifetime achievement award also, especially with the season he's having.

    I'm alright with him winning a lifetime achievement award, except that this is sportsman of the year.

    as a yankee fan... i hope josh beckett was considered for this award.

    he was untouchable in the postseason... amazing stuff.

    true, i still don't have a problem with it. my guess with federer is that they want to see if he can win the grand slam. brady may have been hurt by the stuff with bellichick.

    Well Brady already won it once before. I think Tiger Woods is in the only person ever to win it twice.

    And like you said it's a lifetime achievement award sort of how Ripken won in 95, Shula in 93 and Dean Smith in 97.

    Old, White, Humble, & not a troublemaker. His wife battled cancer, of course people(media) like him. ;)

    They aren't gonna vote for Carmelo Anthony who has donated 4.2 million dollars last year to charity. Nor will they vote for Dhani Jones of the Bengals (formerly Eagles) He does so much volunteering and makes charitable appearances everywhere.

    I agree, South of Seattle, about looking off the field as well as on for the Sportsman of the Year. I remember the year Rory Sparrow won it for his charitable work in Chicago and beyond. Guys such as Dikembe Mutombo and others do more than excel between painted lines; they work hard to leave the world better than they found it. If they want the award to simply reflect athletic excellence, that's fine, but I think (and this is not to discount what I'm sure is a fine philanthropic streak in Favre) that athletes who go out of their ways to help those less fortunate are true Sportsmen of the Year.

    Go Salukis! Win one more and it's on to Chattanooga for the FCS national championship game!

    Go Steelers! Sure, it's obvious the officials will do their damndest to make sure the Pats win, but do the sports world a favor and end this winning streak!

    maybe they should do a separate category like the sportsman of the year for on the field accomplishments and one for community work.

    From a quick glance of this list, SI only gave out the award twice for humanitarian work and the rest for athletic achievement.

    Plus that also makes sense I guess that they gave it to him for the TD record.

    I'm thinking that Manning was the original choice but when SI did their voting in November it was right after the Colts lost to the Pats and then Manning threw 6 picks to the Chargers. So I think those two weeks cost him the award.
