Tom Brady named Sports Illustrated 2005 sportsman of the year

Maybe 2004 but what has he done this year?

How about leading the league in passing so far.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????!!!!!!!!!


How much did it take the Patriots organization to payoff SI for this one. Makes absolutely no fuckin sense!!!
:WTF: :nono5: :shocked: :monsters-

Wow! Not completely sold/sure about this one either. Personally, I thought Roger Federer deserved it more than anyone for the mind-boggling year he just had! :think2: Makes you wonder.

Good choice in my opinion.

Remember, this is for past years accomplishments also, although obviously it shoundn't be.

Its Good To See The Sportsman Of The Year Be Tom Brady And This Is Coming From A Colts Fan. He And Peyton Manning Are Perfect Examples Of True Good Sportsman And Leaders. Especially In This Day And Age Of To And Chad Johnson And Kobe And So On. Remember It Is For Last Years Accomplishments Let Alone He Did Win The Super Bowl In 2005.

Good choice. This year's problems are not the result of his play. Remember, Brady is undefeated in the playoffs.

had an awesome january 2005... this is more for achievements the last couple of years anyways

I like Tom but it doesn't make sense... Peyton deserves it more than him.

surprise they did not pick Lance

I like Brady but :monsters-

How bout Sorenstam? She won, what, half of her starts???

Should have been Armstrong again.

Interesting some of the players S.I. did not honor, like Walter Payton or Hank Aaron. Talk about lifetime achievers who also seem (or seemed in Payton's case) to be very good people.

what happen in 1987 Im sure its a nice organization "Athletes Who Care but does it deserve sportsmen of the year this is not the nobel prie.
