The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to...
ESPN, for the 10th year running.
They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating).
No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote.
Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew?

OK, I will do nothing but watch swimming as millions of Americans participate in no other sports.
To those 60+ million who attend baseball every year, sorry. Same for the millions who enjoy college footbal and basketball, along with the pros.
We will be a unisport nation, not bothered by other great sports, if they even are sports and not matters of technique.
You win, Ion, I am convinced. The others be damned!
