I Bleed Blue and White

Villanova Coach Jay Wright has been voted The Sportsperson of the Year by the Philadelphia Daily News! Humble as ever, Jay quickly dismissed the award saying it could have gone to a host of other people.

“I think I would have voted for Chase Utley, just because he was such a beast in the World Series,” said Wright, the charismatic Villanova basketball coach who took the Wildcats to the Final Four last April. “And the Eagles went to the [NFC] championship game. That still counts for this year, right? When I think of Sportsmen of the Year, I think of Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Charlie Manuel, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins. To me, that’s what last year was.”

Oh, Jay. Don’t be so modest. I of all people know you’re a much better human than those asses you just ran off. Plus, getting to the Final Four is harder than getting to the World Series, and especially harder than making (and not winning) the NFC Championship. Oh well. Congrats Jay!
