Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for January 30, 2015

That add-on is for Pistorious, I take it.

Don’t forget Aaron Hernandez.

Guess that means I can’t nominate the media as a whole. I’ll have to go with the Most Righteous Robert Costas, who telleth all the Way to go.

Ok so O.P. Is guilty of alegedly causing another person’s death. Bill, can the award be revoked if the jury returns a guilty verdict. I’m still thinking about the Vandyfootball players.

Tank, borrow a skunk to cover up the smell of the sports jerks. Although the skunk might complain………

we’ve reach the sad point where the SJOTY needs 2 categories – on and off the field jerks.

On would include in-game incidents (biting or kicking) or things relating to the game (PEDs)

Off would be Ray Rice, Vandy players and the others.

I think I’ll vote for Vanessa-Mae, aka Vanessa Vanekorn, who achieved the dubious distinction of being banned for four years from international competition for Olympic-related CHEATING, despite finishing in LAST PLACE in the women’s giant slalom.

Vanessa-Mae, a violinist by trade, was found guilty of rigging four Olympic-qualifying GS races in Slovenia in January 2014. The FIS, which oversees skiing, found not, one, not two, but eight different rules violations that took place in the rigging. Among these violations where the production of times for competitors who were not actually in the country at the time of the races, and the recruitment of a retired “ringer” purely to influence the point value of the qualifying races.

Also, in one race, someone who fell down had her time changed so that she finished second.

How much of a jerk is someone who cheats in order to finish in last place?

[Note: if I don’t mention SJOTY voting before the official vote takes place, put this down as a vote for Vanessa-Mae.]

Still going with clueless Roger Goodell.

It’s always so hard to choose.
