I wouldn't say that diminishes the value of the award, however. I mean, Adolf Hitler was TIME magazine's Person of the Year in 1938. My point is, sometimes they make poor decisions because of all the strain associated with the decision!
I don't know this for an absolute fact but I would guess the football term "blitz" originated from the blitzkrieg. That Hitler, what a defensive innovator.

Yeah, but the Person of the Year doesn’t necessarily go to the best person, just the person who had the largest effect on the year.
By comparison, Diaco very well could have won it last year.

If the criteria is bad a$$ stogie wielding then coach Verdu is a shoe-in.
Does anybody else think that 53 nominees is leaving the door a little too wide open?

Come on, man. Diaco was no Hitler.
Hitler actually blitzed too often.
