Tomlinson

June 29, 2007

NFL MVP and San Diego Charger workhorse LaDainian Tomlinson has been nominated for four ESPYs, the most of any NFL player this year. Tomlinson is nominated in the categories for Best Male Athlete, Best Record-Breaking Performance, and Best NFL Player as well as the HUMMER Like Nothing Else Award. Tomlinson set the league touchdown record last year for running backs, shattering the previous record set just a two years prior by Shaun Alexander of the Seahawks.
Not that the ESPYs actually mean anything or that anyone actually watches or cares about the ESPYs particularly, but this is kinda cool. Tomlinson had a monster year last year and should be acknowledged with a few more rewards. These awards are particularly special because they are voted on by the fans, and don’t simply confine Tomlinson to football greatness, but rather overall sports greatness for the year. So if you want to see Tomlinson win an ESPY or four, start voting now.
