Crazy thought: The tennis nominee for Sportsman of the Year is.....Roger Federer?!?!? I mean, the man should have won this thing a number of times. It would be appropriate to give this to him, as this almost definitely would be the last chance to give this to him.

AS for Andy- OH, come now. I like the guy a hell of a lot. And he indeed handled the Wimbledon final result with incredible grace and class. Want to give him some kind of consolation Sportsmanlike Moment of the Year award- fine by me. I also feel that it will be a crime that Roddick almost definitely will walk away from his career without a Wimbledon title. He would be a very deserving Wimbledon titleist. BUT- there have been enough times when he's been, to put this nicely, unpleasant on the court, this or any year (albeit for the sake of full disclosure I do not have any 2009 You Tube highlights to prove this point), for him to deserve any Sportsman of the Year award. Much less for achievement. IMO this writer must have been on crack when he made this choice. Or has gotten WAY too squishy-warm-fuzzy.
