pretty cool

although not really that fair

hard for a team sport player to even have a fighting chance in such a competition

Thanks for pointing this out, but I think a better caption would read: "Brady receives most votes of any player in a Team Sport for AP..."

Thanks again, tho.

yeah...you nailed it...that's the story: there is no football, baseball, basketball, hockey or soccer player who received more votes.

I find it amazing that someone playing Golf can be referred to as an athlete to be honest. I like golf, but it's far from an athletic pursuit IMO.

Golfing is more of an athletic pursuit than driving a car and Jimme Johnson is one that list ...

The physical stress that race car drivers undergo during a race is quite phenomenal.

true

but to say golf isn't physical is absurd

it's not about brute strength and agility and reflexes so much as it is about muscle memory and control

There is so much more to golf at the pro level than just aiming, and hitting the ball with the right club

it seriously is an incredibly challenging sport

There should be an individual competition

the results alone show how skewed it is when Tom Brady is the only person who plays for a team that received more than 1 vote
