Sportsman of the Year

I try not to get too worked up over SI Sportsman of the Year, because like the Grammys, Oscars and Emmys (which I ignore) the awards are not selected on an objective basis. SI chooses the Sportsman of the Year woh they think is deserving, but they also want the guy who will sell the most magazines.
Therefore Roger Federer is out. No one cares about tennis or him in the U.S. even though performance-wise, he 2006 was better than anyone's.
Except for maybe Tiger, but he already won twice.
It can't go to Floyd Landis for obvious reasons.
It can't go to Tony LaRussa because even though some are lauding him for his sportsmanship is not going after Kenny Rogers for cheating because Jim Leyland is his friend. He also buried his head in the sand on the steroids stuff.
Vince Young would have been an intriguing choice but his story is already almost 365 days old (though he is writing new chapters every Sunday).
George Mason as a team was a good story, but limited impact, also old and been told and probably has limited appeal at this point.
Barbaro is a horse.
That leaves Jason McElwain. I think he deserved it but his story is also almost a year old and it's already been told a million times. And they probably would catch some heat for choosing an amateur athlete like that.
So that only leaves Dwyane Wade, by default. Your SI Sportsman of the year.
