I totally think that Michael Phelps should have gotten the SI Sportsman of the Year. He was the best athlete at the Olympics and was competing against the best people in the world. He was able to win so many medals at one Olympics with a schedule that many other athletes couldn't handle. But, I am sure that the DUI totally cancelled him out. If he was a football or basketball player up for this award and got a DUI or arrested for rape, he still would have gotten the award. It just goes to show you how the Mainstream Sports Press don't want to see a swimmer get any kind of a mainstream award and will find anything negative to tear swimmers down a few notches. The Mainstream sports press will feature you on the SI Fox Special and let you to the ESPY Awards. But, to receive an award is just ludicrous to them for swimming. This wouldn't have happened to Kobe Bryant. Swimming is still the most looked down upon or discriminated Sport out there.
As a Card fan(sniff), I think the Red Sox were pretty amazing and deserve this. Not only coming back from 0-3, but totally stomping on a team that had been strong all season long. They would get my vote.
