MIAMI, June 5 – HEAT guard Dwyane Wade will be among eight men honored at the 66th Annual National Father of the Year Luncheon presented by the National Father’s Day Committee on Thursday, June 7, 2007, at the Sheraton NY Hotel & Towers in Manhattan.

Wade, along with fellow sports honorees Tom Glavine of the New York Mets and Hulk Hogan of WWE fame, will be presented with Father of the Year trophies by MC Ozzie Smith, a Baseball Hall of Fame shortstop and a 1986 National Father of the Year.

The trio of sports figures will be joined by fellow winners Gen. George W. Casey, Jr., the current U.S. Army Chief of Staff; Former U.S. Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, who is now a Democratic candidate for President in 2008; Allen Sirkin, President & COO of Phillips-Van Heusen; Harry Smith, co-host of CBS-TV’s “The Early Show;” and middle school principal Laurence Whitcomb of Great Valley, NY, who was named America’s “Ashok Sani All-Star Dad” in a competition sponsored by the National Father’s Day Committee, Men’s Health magazine and the Sani Family Foundation.

Wade may be a great father, but any organization that honor's Hulk Hogan's parenting abilities causes me to cock an eyebrow.

This is sort of silly. How do they know who a good father is? Do they have hidden cameras set up in everybody's house?

Now at least we saw Mike Brady raise 6 kids before our own eyes. So he's my Father of the Year.

Well, some of the children were trouble-makers...

It was all camera work Mike (or at least the actor) was guy...not sure he had kids... On the other hand the Brady actors said he was a bit of a father figure to them in real life...it's 50/50 on this one...

Isn't that the same claim that Bob Tanner has on the Olsen Twins?
