American magazine. American winner (otherwise Federer would have won it for the past 3 years or so).

Hall of Fame QB gets out of slump, has breakout year, leads team to 2nd seed in NFC playoffs, knocks Marino's records off the block... Favre's done a lot this year. I think you could make a case for Duncan or Popovich since they have sustained success and won another le, but Favre's a good choice and certainly done enough to merit the selection. Plus the Spurs are boring, dirty and so small market that if you picked Duncan or Pop, no one would ever hear about it.
