With the year quickly winding down, we thought we'd steal a page from every media outlet/blogger/writer/drunken New Year's Eve partier and take a look back at some of our favourite people of 2006. Some impressed. Some dazzled. Most just amused, and only occasionally intentionally. Enjoy.

Number 7: Etienne Boulay

Let the record show that nobody stacked up better this year than the man who put two Ds in defence. Really, there isn't much to say here beyond the obvious: Va-va-voom!

(Okay, here's the problem. Jokes about Etienne Boulay's team photo were pretty much the easiest thing we could do this year. So we'd already selected him to our illustrious Top 10 and written our celebration of his assets when we discovered, to our horror, that the Als have now taken his photo down. We're just going to assume this is because Etienne got back from the Grey Cup, Googled himself and found about 18 Boatmenblog posts pointing to his ample bosom. But as good as that makes us feel, our hearts break for those who missed two of Canada's finest natural wonders.)
