From Tyler

OK, your Tiger rant on ratings and dynasties got me thinking.

Who is the “athlete” of the 21st century to date? Who is the best and who has had the most impact? And do you think it’s dynasties or the brand name that draws viewers because the Cowboys still outdraw the Patriots right?

Thanks and I love the 5@10.
