I have been doing this since 2006 (all winners listed at the bottom)....
Here are the candidates for 2011:
Justin Verlander: Won the AL Triple Crown, MVP, and Cy Young Awards. He won 24 games, led the Tigers to the ALCS, and no-hit Toronto. It was the best season for a MLB pitcher since 2000.
Aaron Rodgers: Rodgers is setting all sorts of passing records and won the Superbowl. Going into Sunday’s season finale against the Lions, Rodgers had not lost a game in over a year.
Mike Kryzewski: Coach K became the winningest coach in NCAA history and he did it scandal-free.
Seal Team 6: These anonymous guys wacked Osama Bin Laden.
Adele: She was omnipresent on the pop charts and had a song that would not go away. Thank god it was not Ke$ha.
Gabrielle Giffords: Representative Giffords survived a vicious attack by a deranged gunman. The assassination attempt killed six others and wounded 13, including the congresswoman. Since recovering from surgery, she has attended congress and watched he husband’s shuttle launch.
Paul Ryan: Congressman Ryan put forth a plan to save Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It also established a blueprint toward fiscal solvency. The Democrats savaged Ryan for his efforts while dramatically cutting these very programs themselves.
Tim Tebow: Through 12 game starts, Tim Tebow was 8-4 with a record six come-from-behind fourth quarter victories. Tebow accomplished this with old school talents. At times, he looked like something from the 1945 Army squad. Tebow wins ugly, wins late, and sometimes wins pretty. On top of this, “Tebowing” has become a fad around the nation.
And the winner is…Justin Verlander!
Past winners: Rahm Emmanuel (2006), Al Gore (2007), Barack Obama (2008), Leonard Nimoy (2009), Drew Brees (2010)
