+1.  I agree with this.  Belicheck hasn't done anything since they stopped cheating.  This year, they got smoked by the Ravens in the WC game.  Brady looked rather ordinary out there.

I disagree with the HC and CB selections for the all-decade so far.  Woodson > Champ.  All the others, I agree with.

I realized after I typed this that it's the "all-decade" team, so I can't be mad at Tony G. I just think Gates is the best TE I've seen in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time...

 

[CP1708]

Gates is the best I have EVER seen. 

And not to hate on Tony, obviously is up there, but Gates is hands down the best I have ever watched. 

 

[MajinZuub]

That RB line-up sucks

 

[eneyekayee]

I hear you CP and agree Gates is the best TE I have ever seen, but this is for All Decade ('00-'09), nothing more.

As far as the decade goes there is really no argument to be had (those 4 years of AG doing nothing kills his cause and yes, I know he wasn't in the league yet for 3 of them

)...And to think Gates didn't even play a single down of college football.
