    I have heard that Lazarus is actually going to try to present Khan with the trophy for the Lazarus sports award. Apparently the trophy itself actually looks just like a Asian mans *****, feels just like an Asian mans ***** and is even attached to Lazarus' groin just like an Asian mans *****!






    Just kidding Lazarus!!!

    My guess is that Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are among them.

    Hmm but then you keep getting the same guys nominated every year, federer and Nadal already sealed their position as tennis legends.
    I Think Nadal could win the way he has been so succesfull this year.
    Pac is actually very impressive but boxing isnt a popular sport therefore I think another guy will win.
