Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for January 31, 2025

I would give John Fisher three votes if I could.

How about Zachary L’Heureux of the Nashville Predators, for slew-footing Minnesota Wild player Jared Spurgeon during a game on December 31, 2024. He just got in under the wire!

SJOTY – Deshaun Watson

Jerry Jones

The refs in the Chiefs – Bills game! UGH!

Every ref there’s ever been.

Angel Reese, DiJonai Carrington, and who ever made the decision to exclude Caitlin Clark from the Olympics

Aaron Rogers

Aaron Rodgers

With all the people putting Angel Reese up for the award, we should have Sheila Johnson come in and say the entire WNBA should win the award.

I love you Tank! Long time fan, first time SJY voter. As a long suffering Cleveland fan, I gotta go with Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson whose performance off the field has been, shall we say, less than gentlemanly. Though his personal conduct clearly qualifies for the SJY, his lackadaisical on field performance and divisiveness in the locker room put icing on the SJY cake.

The 2 Yankees fans that interfered with Mookie Betts catch.

Electoral colleges need to be eliminated.

The Yankees Fans who stole the mitt from Mookie Betts during a game.

Jerry Jones, I hope, I hope, I hope

Howcum anti-vax Julius Irving is suddenly a good guy since he was exiled to Texas?

Jerry Jones. N.Y. Giants fans should rejoice. The Cowboys have a real shot at replacing them in the NFC East cellar!

Angel “Belligerent Brainless Bigoted Barbie” Reese

I don’t see anything on the Tank FB page except 18 friends and a couple posts from a decade ago.

My second Sports Jerk of the Year nomination goes to Li Tie, former coach of China’s men’s soccer team.

Li received much criticism for some of his player choices. It wasn’t because he was incompetent. This year, we learned that he had been selling spots on the national team, taking over $7 million in bribes to select patently unqualified players.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in December.

I vote Deshaun Watson for SJOTY. He’s pulled off the biggest robbery in professional sports player history. He’s a sexual predator and a lousy teammate. Instead of attending Browns games while injured, he’s ignoring medical advice and vacationing with his girlfriend making TikTok videos.

First runner-up. Jimmy Haslem for mortgaging the teams’s future by forcing the trade after the Browns were eliminated in early negotiations. Traded three first round draft picks plus a second and a third round pick (facepalm) $240 million dollars fully guaranteed (headdesk).

Second runner-up, GM Andrew Berry for not having the guts or good sense to talk Haslem out of it.

Third runner-up, Head Coach Kevin Stefanski for continuing to leave the bum in the starting lineup when it was evident Watson’s performance was losing games.

(Whew, it feels good to get that off my chest)

Woody Johnson. I mean, using a game to evaluate players?

Aaron again and again and again…
