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?

I see you have to chum the water about sports yet again with your comments about media bias and real sports.
Can't you just let it go and realize some of us like all sort of sports, regardless of your definition of them? Some of us are also relatively happy with 40+ sports channels delivering a vast variety of sport.
Stick to the swimming, leave the jabs behind.
I say again that swimming performances are being under reported -relative to other activities-, in the media here.
No wonder the wrong awards follow this.
