Tom Brady wins SI Sportsman of the Year
 

Very deserving. Last years Super Bowl win ended a 4 year stretch that might have been the most impressive in modern NFL history. He plays better than everyone else in the biggest games, and at the end of games. His teamates have absolute trust in him to win the close ones, and even more importantly, so do his opponents.

This year he leads the league in passing yards, and has been forecd to carry a battered team. As Peter King says, this really ends the talks about him just being a "game manager".

speaking about his contract, renegotiated in the offseason:

"Is it going to make me feel any better to make an extra million, which after taxes is about $500,000?" he said. "That million might be more important to the team.''

holla!

Agreed. This was done because it was the most marketable face. Nothing else.

Yes, *yawn* is right, but that doesn't change the fact that Tom Brady is my hero and I can only hope someday to father his children.

Who cares. I am tired of every sports person on ESPN and anywhere else blowing Tom Brady. Talk about something else.

very true. I would much rather listen to ESPN talk incessently about a scumbag like TO, instead of a genuine good person like Brady.

Awful choice. If you want to choose a football player Peyton is a much better choice his team is having the best year in recent memory and last year he had one of the best passing seasons of all time. I hate the colts but Peyton is definetly the SI Sportsman of the year.

Agreed but I think a large chunk of SI's sales come from suscribers.

Most marketable face coupled with no one from MLB, NCAA B-Ball, NCAA Football, or NBA really staning out. I thinks it's a bad choice, but don't really care.
