When Charles Woodson beat out Peyton Manning. And I don’t even care for Manning. But that was just ESPN propping up and promoting Woodson relentlessly.

This inspired me to go watch some highlights of the man who won, Jason White. He really did have a phenomenal arm, in every respect, but I also saw him doing the old Bobby Hebert thing where you stare down the primary receiver like your daughter's prom date. His knees were also shot by the time he graduated, though that shouldn't really affect one's "Heisman legacy." Pro ball has nothing to do with the Heisman, though simple minds do try to connect the two.

Toby Gerhart

This. Most deserving RB in decades, and gets beat by a guy who gets to run thru truck-sized holes. Why? Because the media went wild with the “Bama has never had a heisman winner” so they just robbed the guy to fix a perceived wrong of the past.

I think Manning losing 4 times(2 blowouts) to Tennessee had something to do with it.
