Best teams of the decade
From the professional ranks to the collegiate battles throughout all the divisions, some teams just had a better decade than others.
From the professional ranks to the collegiate battles throughout all the divisions and sports—looking at you, lacrosse and swimming—some teams just had a better decade than others. They may not have won it all, all the time. However, these schools and professional franchises either stood in the way of glory more often than not or totally reigned from atop Championship Mountain as a perennial 2010s juggernaut.
A quick note: We’re looking for the best here, and that means wins and titles! So if your baseball team crushed the regular season each year but bombed in the Divisional Series, it’s probably not making the cut—and no, I don’t hate your football team.
Here we go!
Whether you like to admit it or not, the New England Patriots were the NFL’s 2010s. The full hot order. Count ’em out? That’s what coach Bill Belichick and Tom Brady loved for the general masses outside of the Boston area to do. And then, they’d pull it together and outthink, out-scheme—out videotape?—your team on their way to Super Bowl Sunday.

Gabe Kapler is now the manager of the San Francisco Giants.
About a month after being fired by the Phillies, Gabe Kapler is now the manager of the San Francisco Giants. He takes over for Bruce Bochy, who retired this fall after 25 years as a manager, including 13 seasons with the Giants.
Kapler was fired Oct. 10 after two years in Philadelphia, where his squad hovered around .500 both seasons.
Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said at the end of San Francisco’s 2019 season that the number one quality in their next manager would be relationship building with the players.
Zaidi and Kapler worked together a few years ago in Los Angeles, where Zaidi was the Dodgers’ general manager and Kapler served as the director of player development.
