Athlete Of The Decade

Some good news for Tiger Woods. The Associated Press has named him Athlete of the Decade. Tiger received 56 of the 142 votes cast by editors at various U.S. newspapers. About half the votes came in after Tiger's Thanksgiving weekend debacle so obviously, a lot of people overlooked it and voted strictly on Tiger's athletic achievements. The AP says, quote, "For 10 incomparable years, no one ruled a sport like Woods. He won 64 times around the world, including 12 majors, and hoisted a trophy on every continent golf is played. He lost only one time with the lead going into the final round. His 56 PGA Tour victories in one incomparable decade were more than anyone except four of golf's greatest players won in their careers.” Lance Armstrong finished second with 33 votes . . . followed by tennis stud Roger Federer with 25, and aquatic stoner Michael Phelps with 13. Tom Brady rounded out the top 5 with six votes.
