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?

Swimming, basketball, track and field (Maurice Greene (US) run the day before yesterday 100 meters in 9.89, which is better than the physical fitness of the 'ESPN Male athlete of the year 2002'), volley ball, hand ball, gymnastics, skiing, water polo, wrestling, kayak, cycling, tennis:
now we start talking sports with their respective physical fitness, and plenty of sports to choose from.
