I was disappointed in seeing that Drew Brees is the 2010 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the year. Brees did give a torn city a Super Bowl, but I felt there were two candidates that were more deserving of the award.
Sidney Crosby
It's not every year a country gets to host the Olympics, as Canada did. When a country does host the Olympics, the citizens and fans of the country generally want to get Gold in their favorite sport. Imagine the United States hosting the Olympics and getting Bronze in basketball. That would be devastating. Hockey is the sport of Canada. Imagine how painful it would of been for Canada to lose the gold medal in Hockey. That didn't happen, of course, because of Crosby.
Maya Moore
She was the star on a 90 game winning streak and two NCAA Womens Basketball Championships. During the streak Moore averaged 18.7 points per game and 2.3 steals. She averaged 8.5 rebounds per game and almost hit half of her three pointers. It seems as if Sports Illustrated takes the "man" part of Sportsman far too literally.
