How is he the sportsman of the year? Is he having an incredible year on the field? No doubt. But the guy left his team hanging in the wings in the off-season, like he has done the previous two seasons, and if he didn't have a good season on the field he would have held that team hostage.
There are so many other candidates. Why give it to a guy who has been a horrible teammate the last couple years. A great player, but not the teammate he once was. Favre has never won the award before and has deserved it in the past, far more than he deserves it now. If you look at past winners, they have been great teammates and great players. Wade, Brady, Duncan, and Robinson.
Just think it is a weird time to give it to him because it is a sportsmanship award as well, and Favre is far from being the great teammate he once was.
As I said, lets not forget if he wasn't having a great season people would still be saying he was holding his team hostage.
When does he get the "Madden Licks My Balls Daily" award?
