The 2014 SI Sportsman of the Year

Wilson is the kid from UT who beat up his pregnant GF right?

 

Hard to argue with Bumgarner for on-the-field accomplishment, but what about bigger-picture selections like Michael Sam or Adam Silver?

Both transcended the sport they are involved in.

 

Sam never got on the field. He didn't transcend anything. He was the ESPN flavor of the month.

 

He did in the preseason, but that doesn't really matter. Coming out before the draft and being selected is a big deal. If you don't think that's a big deal, I'm not going to argue with you.

 

Wilson/Winston/Marlboro/Kools one of those is right.

 

Worst suggestions ever.

 

No, he's the kid who drilled a guy in the head with six passes, even though he had his hands up.

 

Why?

 

Because neither are remotely deserving.

 

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Just not into the whole transcended sport thing. Seems like it's become
too much of a throwaway line. Glad that SI went back to it's roots for their
selection.

 

He's not wrong.
