Congrats to Farve.
And you gotta admit, he is a better sportsman than Brady. Brady is having a better season. But that was not the point of the award.
and i dont know much about Federer

Are you serious? Why am I not surprised.
Then again this year's main candidates were not really eye popping.

Bias aside, I would have expected Romo simply because he's new, etc. Favre has gotten every worthless sports before (including the Turkey Day Trophy onThanksgiving
) but maybe this is just SI's way of trying to make it seem like he can retire now and leave a winner... I don't really knowactually.

Way to change the subject.
Can you make up your mind? Is the award about how good the player has been over the last year or is it about how classy of a guy he is when he's playing?
You said that the award was about how classy a guy was. And I ask again, if that is why the award is given for, then how come some guy who shows truesportsmanship but who is not a good player never won the award? Because there's clearly a measurment of how of a player he was.. And like I said, he'snot even the best at his position at the sport he's playing.

"symbolizing the ideals of sportsmanship" has nothing to do with the award. They can write that now all they want. It has everything to do with whothe current hype is and nothing more. Favre obviously is Jesus right now and there are no other clear cut winners....so he's gonna get it.
Dwayne Wade won it last year. Tom Brady the year before. The Red Sox breaking the curse the year before that.
It's typically about the sexiest story.
I laughed about Favre getting it this year not because there is no way he is "worthy" but rather because it is almost is the icing on the cake forthis guy in the media. In 2007 when we think who should be getting Sportsman of the Year very few of us would have said Favre as choice #1, let's behonest.

I kinda understand why SI would give to him. Dude had some problems (i.e. pain killer) and think about this, last year (and this year before the season)everybody was calling the dude out to quit. Comes back and now he leads the one of the best team in NFC that has no running back or a starwide-reciever. Brady could've gotten it if there wasn't that 'spygate' incident. Federer is consideration, too but we are not living in 1982and nobody gives a damn about (at least mainstream American sports media) men's tennis no more. I also think Tony Dungy should've been gettingthis award but I also understand why they would give to Brett Farve.
Madden is having a time of his life by now.

tom brady is a whiner. hes not a "good sport"
Favre is one of the best QBs of all time, a Hall of Famer whos having the best season of his entire career (minus last week of course). and hes one of the mostliked players in the NFL... maybe the most liked player.
get over it, the people at SI know more than you
