If there is one thing TIME Magazine still has going for them, it’s their “person of the year”. It’s always interesting to see who they choose as the person of the year, even if you completely disagree with it.

Just a year ago, the Indianapolis Colts were the laughingstock of the NFL, finishing dead last with a 2-14 record. Because of their horrible record, they were able to fire stoic head coach Jim Caldwell and take Andrew Luck with the first pick in the NFL Draft.

NBC’s slogan for Sunday Night Football is “it’s football night”. But ever since Aaron Rodgers has been starting games for the Green Bay Packers, Sunday night has been Aaron’s night.
