“Tiger Woods wins the award over San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, with tennis great Roger Federer a distant third??? ”

Tomlinson, who already has set an NFL record of 31 touchdowns with one regular-season game left, was second with 230 points.

Federer’s record in 2006 was an amazing 92-5, including 12 singles titles.

Golf is an athletic sport??? Give me a break – who votes for these awards anyway??? And who would you vote for – one of these 3 guys or someone else??? Personally, L.T. gets my vote!
