Out with Jimmy Johnson, maybe Tiger, but more likely Brady or Kobe, maybe Phelps and no one likes 1 testicle (Hitler, Napoleon).

Who the hell are the rest?

Tiger is the champion of the decade, sportsman not so much...

A-Rod is the tragic figure of the decade

Dallas Cowboys are the team of the lost decade

OK, for the real vote.

Nobody has dominated their sports for the decade like Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, and Michael Phelps.

Usain Bolt is a recent event.....not relevant for the entire decade.....even the bulk of it.

I vote:

1. Tiger - Gold

2. Lance - Silver

3. Phelps - Bronze

I'm reluctant to vote for guys in team sports, for obvious reasons....they can't win without a team......their impact would be minimal if the team was no good.

I saw Michael Shumacher somewhere. I don't follow Formula One.

I'm having trouble with any baseball player.

This is probably very close to the final result. Phelps would have won if he could have avoided a famous photo-op...

I'd go with this as well and put Bolt in 4th place because of how siginificantly he broke the 100-200M world records.

Brady, Kobe and Lebron are my top "team guys", but again, if they weren't on their specific teams, how much greatness would they have achieved on their own.
