John Isner. Runners-up Garrett Wittels, Rafael Nadal, Kobe Bryant.
Isner joins the other 5 nominees in our race for Athlete of the Year. I had Kobe penciled in for the month, but an 11 hour tennis match is an undeniable feat.
The year's half over; I guess I'd lean Brees as the current leader. I took notes on the lottery last night and will put up a draft blog time permitting.
