I nominated Pete Rose and we’re only allowed one vote but I’m amazed nobody has mentioned the dreaded George Steinbrenner. As for Joe Namath, it was in much more recent years when he was jerky. (Maybe he spent too much time drinking with Dennis Rodman?)
Though I am a big Seahawks fan, Richard Sherman would be my recent nomination. Over the past 40 years I would have to agree with patsy62 that it would have to be Mike Tyson.
I still like Sherman. He was ticked at the brush off. (though to be fair the brush off should have been expected – Sherman had just intercepted that ball to help the Seahawks win).

Wearing pantyhose and appearing in bad sitcoms doesn’t qualify for being a SJOTY.

Agreed, Cosel ought to be ahead of “Broadway Joe” on the “Jerk List.”

Jerry Jones manages to make my top 5 every year.

Are we looking at lifetime achievement awards? How about Bobby Knight?

No….even as a former Baltimore Colt fan, not Joe Namath.
