Defensive Player of the Year?
465354
Ben Wallace.  Case closed.  He is the best defensive player that has come along since MJ, and probably the best all-around defensive center (despite being only 6'7", not 6'9" as he is listed) since Hakeem, and perhaps since Bill Russell.  This award should belong to him until he decides he doesn't want it anymore.

Judging the way that the Steelers have been playing football, I would expect it to be Ben Roethlisberger.\n\nIf the Steelers can run the ball better than they did against Denver, Willie Parker could have a shot if he breaks off some big runs. However, the way that Parker tends to carry the ball down to the red zone so that Bettis can score the touchdowns tends to work against both of their chances' to be named MVP.\n\nIt's a rare occurence for a defensive player to be named MVP, but with a performance like he had against Peyton Manning, I wouldn't be surprised to see Joey Porter named MVP.\n\nIf Seattle wins (which I don't realy expect), it'll be due to big performances from Shaun Alexander, Matt Hasselbeck, and/or Darrel Jackson.

Wow, what a question.\n\nPatty Roy is a good answer at goal (Ken Dryden was probably better though); At forward, God, Maurice Richard is probably the guy to go with - the scoring trophy is named after him after all.  Defense, Big Bird Larry Robinson or Doug Harvey.  But the list of outstanding players just goes on and on.\n\nOverall, soup to nuts, it's probably Maurice Richard.

Not a bad choice.  I think it will either be him or Vernon Davis in San Fran.  Davis his an absolute freak, and chances are he will be Alex Smith's favorite target.  Vernon should be a starter right away so I think his numbers will be pretty attractive.  But if any thing happens to Deshawn Foster, DeAngelo could be the man out in Carolina.  My chose for defensive rookie of the year by the way is Antonio Cromartie.

I cannot believe it myself.\n\nZidane is not even close to be the World Player of the Year..

Gillette is sponsoring the 'Best Young Player Award' & they've still not decided on all the nominations.\nEvery week, FIFA adds a name to the list.\n\nLast I heard Philippe Senderos was included in that list! :D Hope Robin Van Persie gets there too & wins the award!

Defensively I have to give the nod  to a current player: Ivan Rodriguez.  But offensively Johnny Bench was the best.  For combined talents Yogi was outstanding and IRod is up there.

only time will tell from this pick, but charlie casserly wanted to draft a defense...\n\nmy opinion: how the hell can you not draft the most dynamic player out of college the last 20 years???\n\nthis should mean that the texans will most likely get the 1st pick overall again, next year 2007!!!

It has to go the player who most influenced his team's victory in a World Cup year.\n\nFabio Cannavaro may not played well all year but his performances were vital to the Azzurri winning their 4th title. Like it or not, it's him who deserves the award.\n\nZidane would be a close second followed by Samuel Et'oo.

Gotta go with Brian Westbrook.  tennesee is the 2nd worse rush defense in the entire nfl.  also with how mcnabb is throwin lately tennesee will be worried with that and wont be expecten the run or the short passes

Right now, I think it might be Steve Smith.  He was unstoppable, even without a complimentary receiver drawing attention elsewhere.  Plus, he's got the added challenge of being shorter than the average receiver.

Rafa Marquez defense\nZidane as frontal

Johnson and Clayton\n\nTennessee defense but not sure on that because they are both terrible
