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 read that the writer George Bernard Shaw wrote:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.".
I agree with the quote.
Let's work together now on the latest of this thread 'unreasonable' in US ideas, which is to have a cheap production of a TV coverage of Masters Swimming Nationals, or any other Masters Swimming program, and which unreasonably I say is not boring and can be distributed locally in many states.
