Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for January 21, 2025

That’s not self-depreciating. That’s the look of an artist who has been constantly producing the Tank McNamara strip for over 50 years! And I for one very much AP-preciate it, thank you very much! :D

John Fisher, Lebron James, Angel Reese

Hmmm. Looks like Angel is developing an early lead!

I’m pretty sure that personal hate for a player doesn’t necessarily make him / her a jerk. Nor does one crucial mistake or one bad play (which anyone should have been able to predict would end in disaster). And certainly not brilliant playing (in crushing your favorite team).

It takes a pattern of petty complaints, whining, and incompetence to deserve a nomination.

Aaron Rogers

How about naming the award after the permanent winner – Aaron Rodgers?

LeBron James.

Sheryl Swoops, Shelia Johnson, Jerry Jones.

You drew it, Hinds!

Cheryl Reeve, Lynx coach. Wined about her team going into overtime in the final match, but they could only put up 3 points.

Mike DeWine, who is governor of Ohio for creating a law which makes it a criminal offense for visiting teams to celebrate a win against The Ohio State University.

Somehow, this reminds me of a ventriloquist act…

The NBA (for ignoring the OKC Thunder), Jerry Jones, Luka (Cry Baby) Donic

Jerry Reinsdorf. owner of the Chicago White Sox (and the Bulls), for chutzpah.

He’s campaigning for the city/state to get him ANOTHER new stadium for the Sox (he already held us up for Rate Field, formerly Comiskey Park II, U.S. Cellular Field and then Guaranteed Rate Field), while at the same time putting such a terrible team on the field they set the major league record for most losses, to discourage attendance so he can move the team claiming lack of support.

It is indeed unfortunate that the vast majority of Tankers are American sports fans and don’t follow International sports. If they did, they would almost unanimously nominate FIFA President Gianni Infantino as this year’s SJOY for his knee-bending, áss-kissing capitulation, and sell-out to the Saudis and the rest of the Arab Emirates!

In good weather,Baltimore wins

John Fisher, John Fisher, John Fisher. His treatment of Oakland A’s fans and Oakland was awful.

Bill Hinds looks like he’s been at this game for a long time.

…and, we find that he’s been drawing the strip since 1974, writing it since the death of Jeff Millar in 2012. So Bill, thanks for keeping at it. But we also find that, with luck, we get old and look it.

It should be the A’s ownership in a landslide, but evidently, the r@cists have decided Angel Reese has done something horrible like being an exceptionally talented black woman in the WNBA who doesn’t suffer fools lightly.

Angel Reese will win in a walk

I nominate Navin Johnson, Steve Martin and Jamaican Jerk.

How about the one sports writer who did not vote for Ichiro?

I have to agree with the Angel Reese nomination. She is so narcissistic that she has spent this off-season working on her 3 point game (trying to be Caitlin Clark?), when her short game is terrible… one of the worst shooting percentages within 5 feet of the basket. That pettiness makes her a favorite!
