Since Armstrong has been all over the news, I expect him to be #1. However, since most Americans only check out the Tour de France when we have a contender, I’d still give it to Bettman for endangering (again) an entire sport.
Yeah I picked Bettman too, ironic my Kings finally win the Stanley Cup and he keeps them from having a solid title defense. As for the Armstrong case it should be the US Anit Doping Ass-ocation as SJOY, for hounding a guy. Guity, yes but it was still a witch hunt. He would have confessed, after all Pete Rose did.
Speaking of Sports Jerks, I can’t wait for Roger, the Artless Dodger, Goodell make his grand entrance on Sunday. I’m sure the folks in New Orleans will be most welcoming !
So who was more vile and deserving of the SJOY awared than Bettman? Sure Armstrong tainted his sport. But then, back when he was racing – weren’t they all those cyclists back then tainted? .Though I guess I should be pleased that my choice for SJOY for 2011 & 2012 did make it to 2nd place. Tim Thomas and Gary Bettman. …. Sad that both are in hockey.

I was sooo over the NHL that I’d forgotten all about the little weasel.

Instead of a plaque, the runner up for the Tank McNamara Sports Jerk of the Year receives a nice bumper sticker that says “RUNNER UP”.

No doubt, Lance is doing a victory lap. “I’m number one!”
