Brees is the 2010 Male Athlete of the Year
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is the 2010 Male Athlete of the Year, chosen by members of The Associated Press. Brees is just the fourth NFL quarterback in four decades to win the annual AP award, which dates to 1931. The Super Bowl MVP received 48 of 176 votes submitted by news organizations that make up the AP's membership. The award was announced Friday. Brees, whose career was threatened five years ago by a serious right shoulder injury, led the Saints to their first NFL title last February. The victory came amid the backdrop of millions of dollars in charitable work Brees has spearheaded to help New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina. NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, the 2009 AP Male Athlete of the Year, finished second with 31 votes. Johnson won his fifth straight title last month. Boxer Manny Pacquiao was third with 21 votes. |
