Quote:I don't mind the Sportsman of the Year but they've become too QB-centric with the award. It started when Favre won in 2007 for frankly just being Brett Favre. In previous years it was because of winning a championship or breaking a record. I think Nick Saban and Jimmie Johnson would have been better candidiates. But they wouldn't sell magazines the way a Manning cover would. Just like when Favre won over Roger Federer in 2007.
 

Nick Saban? Sportsman of the year? C'mon!

 

I thought Jimmy Johnson would have been a nice outside the norm selection.

 

I agree with you re Federer over Favre.

 

I really don't think they worry about which winner will sell more magazines. I don't think people will be rushing to the newsstands because Manning is on the cover. Now, if it was Kate Upton ...
