Sportswoman of the Year
While Sports Illustrated has named New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady the Sportsman of the Year for 2005. But an honorable mention was given to a person who could probably have been named the Sportswoman of the Year: Danica Patrick.Danica Patrick entered this year’s Indy 500 in the fourth position. With twenty-eight laps to go Danica held the lead. She ended up finishing the race in the same position she started in, fourth.
Patrick went on to have a busy rookie season, competing in seventeen different races.
She seems to have become the face of auto racing.
Congratulations to Danica Patrick for a great year in racing.
Honorable mentions go to the LPGA’s Annika Sorenstam and Paula Creamer, the WTA’s Lindsey Davenport, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams, and the WNBA’s Sheryl Swoopes.

Have you seen the SportsCenter promo where Dan Patrick has her Indy Car towed from the "D. Patrick" parking space in the front of the ESPN studios. She comes out saying "hey, that's my car!" as the tow truck roars off with it.
"But it was in my space..." Says Dan as he sets the alarm on his Oldsmobuick, "...honest mistake." and heads into the building.
Classic.
Happy New Year
