Some other names to throw in the mix:

**Nick Saban** , Alabama head football coach  
**Andrew McCutcheon** , Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder, taking them to the playoffs after 21 year drought  
**Peyton Manning** , having one hell of a comeback after his year off two years ago (but probably too far removed for that to make him SOTY)  
**Bud Selig** , MLB Commissioner, who announced he’ll retire after next season (actually, he’s a good bet for next year for this reason - and probably why Stern won’t win this year)  
**LeBron James** - have they ever given it to the same person in consecutive years?
