NO, PETER KING DIDN'T WRITE IT: Brett Favre is your 2007 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.
As I said last year, it probably should have been Roger Federer. Three more Grand Slam titles, including his fifth straight at Wimbledon and fourth straight at the U.S. Open. A record 201 straight weeks as the #1 ranked men's player in the world. Just a stunning level of performance in a sport from which Americans have drifted away.
Alternately, it should have been Barry Bonds or The Needle, as that has been the dominant story across so many sports this year.
