Sports: A Game Of Inches: Most Dominant Athlete

Now that the naughts are almost over, it's time to make a list of what happened in the past ten years. Here's my opinion of the most athletes in their sport (although I admit, I have a short term memory so if you make a valid argument in the comments because of players that were awesome in the early part of this decade, I'd be inclined to listen to you)

Football: Tom Brady. He has led his team to four out of the past ten Superbowls and has won three of them. Normally Superbowls and wins don't equate to an individual player, but when the list of the most dominant is so close, wins and Superbowls end up being the tiebreaker

Runners Up: Peyton Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson

Baseball: Albert Pujols. Arguably the best player in baseball right now and hits 30+ HRs like clockwork since his rookie year in 2001. He's won 3 NL MVPs, ROY in 2001, and a WS in 2006.

Runners Up: A-Rod, Johan Santana, Barry Bonds

Basketball: Kobe Bryant. Won 4 Finals this decade (plus another appearance) and won his first MVP this last season.

Runners Up: LeBron James, Dewayne Wade, Shaquille O'Neil

Hockey: Jarimir Jagr. I fully admit I know nothing about hockey so I'll defer to TBO's judgment.

Runners Up: Martin Brodeur, Nicklas Lidstrom

College Football: Tim Tebow. One of the best college players of all time, won two National Championships, a Heisman trophy and a finalist two other times

Runners Up: Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush

College Basketball: Tyler Hansbrough. Despite the fact he looks Reche Caldwell dropping a pass from Tom Brady all the time, he still spent four year in college and became the ACC's leading scorer, became Player of the Year and won a National Championship last year.

Runners Up: Shane Battier, J.J. Reddick

Olympian: Michael Phelps. We all know his amazingness in the 2008 Olympics but was also amazing during the 2004 ones as well.

Tennis: Roger Federer

Golfer: Tiger Woods. I feel so bad for this dude. He's gonna lose his amazing hot wife and maybe will not golf anymore so now he has to sit back on millions doing three girls at once while people talk about he's the best golfer in the world.
