The Decade

I've been seeing some stuff online about "this of the decade" and such so I thought what the hell let's put 10 years into a few paragraphs.

Team of the Decade all sports.
Well the list of possible winners is small, Patriots, Red Wings, Lakers, and Yankees. Even though the Yankees only missed the playoffs once, and the Pats won 3 Super Bowls and appeared in another, I have to give the nod to the Lake Show. Kobe and the gang won 4 Championships and appeared in the Finals two other times, so in 10 years they either got 1st or 2nd 6 times. That's pretty hard to argue against.

Team Sports Athlete of the Decade
Once again the list is short but distinguished, Brady, Manning, A-Rod, Jeter, Kobe, Shaq, and for kicks Marty Broduer. This is tough, real tough, to give a guy and entire decade that was better than anyone else. In a close race, I gotta go with A-Rod with the slight edge or Kobe and Peyton. Alex put up huge numbers every year, and got his title in '09. I don't care about the performance enhancers the guy can hit and was better defensivly than the guy at SS on his own team. He's bulked up since then so he's not really a SS anymore.

Individual Sports Athlete of the Decade
Easy Tiger, nuff said. So he cheated on his wife he didn't cheat on his sport like Lance did. Federer another guy who could stake claim to this just isn't in the media enough. Tiger ruled golf the entire decade.

College of the Decade
Tough one here, Florida has the nod from me, they won multiple national titles in football and basketball. Texas had some good runs in both sports, but Florida for sure had the best.

Cinderella of the Decade
Nominees are New York Giants over New England, Boise State over Oklahoma, Gonzaga in basketball, now a powerhouse, but 10 years ago nobody knew who they were, George Mason Final four team, Pittsburgh last year Stanley cup team. I gotta go with Boise over OU, definantly the best game of the decade in my eyes, especially since Boise pulled all the school yard plays to beat up the big neighborhood bully. Statue of Liberty and hook 'n ladder. I urgevyou try to find that game sometime and watch it again.

Well that's it for these 10 years, let's see how the next ten go.
