    Djokovic probably should win it, but I'm willing to guess he won't win...Aaron Rodgers?

    I guess, if you want to turn it into the Disney commercial.

    Did the award go to ESPN to fill the CFB opening?

    They're just going to say fuck it and go LeBron.

    This award used to mean something. Now it means they think they can sell the most magazines and fill the most multimedia programming.

    Aaron Rodgers.

    Won the Super Bowl, dominating this season thus far.

    And is NOT Brett Favre.

    I like Newton. Won a national title in the wake of the dad scandal, had the "icon" controversy and is currently in the midst of one the more surprising seasons in NFL history.

    They have gone consecutive years in the same sport only one time -- 1983-84 with Mary Decker and Edwin Moses.

    They could try to sell some kind of "purity of college sports" B.S. with (choose from any combination of) Brad Stevens, Chris Petersen and Andrew Luck.

    Dan Wheldon. Cinderella story in winning the Indy 500, then celebrated with his young family. Even without a full-time IndyCar ride, he became a strong ambassador for the series and was the developmental driver for the 2012 car, which has increased safety features that likely would have saved his life in Las Vegas.

    Has to be someone that is marketable by SI that they can turn into ad revenue. It seems to be their current business model.
