Blind pig finds a a truffle.
JJ Watt is a great choice! He should also be Texan Of The Year.
Never heard of the Jose guy.
He’s a Houston Astro.
Not Colin Kapernick? Stunning...
Great choice on Watt, well deserved.
Altuve is a fine player but other than that I don’t know much about him.
I don’t know, though....neither one is black. SI is obviously racist.
Maybe the editors at SI are looking to please their future bosses....the Evil Koch Brothers.
duhnt-dunht-DUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!!!
What happened? No anti-American BS? these are great choices. Regular staff off for holidays?
>>Hes a Houston Astro.<<
That explains it. I don’t follow Cricket.
I see Cricket outfits have gotten snappier.
:)
Jose Altuve:
American League MVP this year. AL Batting Champion 3 of the past 4 years. Best player on my new World Series Champion Houston Astros. Little guy, humble as can be, big bat, big heart. He’s an excellent choice to stand next to Watt.
Really, the whole Astros team could have been chosen, because they were fun, charismatic, inspiring, deeply invested in helping Houston recover from Hurricane Harvey, and total class acts when it seemed like professional sports was about as classless as it has ever been.
Also, I know Sports Illustrated isn’t the dominant thing it used to be, but it’s actually really good. It seems quite a bit more mature and on the level contrasted with just about every other sports rag that’s as liberal as can be and can’t help showing it.
JJ Watt deserves it. He raised like 40 million for Hurricane relief, easily better than the faux social jusitce warriors of the NFL....
Country star King George Strait was named Texan of the Year - raised $50M for Hurricane relief....either he or JJ Watt would have been a great choice....Houston Strong!
Houston, we don’t have a problem.
Why Watt this year? He’s a great player, but isn’t he injured?
Jose Altuve was a great choice. Ive never heard of JJ Watt.
Watt’s got a heart as big as his whole body. Fearsome competitor. Sportsman in the classical sense.
Good picks!
Yeah, I just looked him up. Id heard the fund raising story, just didnt know the name. I dont follow football but this also looks like a good choice.
Presumably because of the money he raised for victims of Hurricane Harvey.
