Vince McMahon: Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year?

Well, no, the WWE Chairman probably won't win the award. But one Sports Illustrated writer seems to think he should.

On SI.com, Andy Gray lists Vince McMahon as his personal choice for Sports Illustrated’s 2006 Sportsman of the Year award. The pick is based on WWE’s upcoming Tribute to the Troops tour.

“While five days may not seem like much of a commitment, it's five more days than any other professional sports team spent in Iraq this year. More importantly, the company doesn't make a dime off the trip. It's simply a way for McMahon and the rest of the WWE to say thank you to a group of people who are too often overlooked,” Gray wrote.
