It is that time of year where blogs everyone countdown to the new year with endless lists from 2007. Well here is one that was actually made from bloggers.

Yahoo put together the top 40 sports figures of 2007 based on how much they were blogged about.

Sure beats that lame SI pick of Brett Favre as Sportsman of the Year. Sorry Favre fans.

Here is the top five, if you want to see the rest click here.

1. Michael Vick (No. 21 on last year’s top 40)

“A comedy of errors with his precious marijuana, followed by the dog fighting trial of the century.” – With Leather

2. Alex Rodriguez (4)

“When the best player in the game gets busted with a mystery blonde, his wife shows up to Yankee Stadium with a shirt that says “(Screw) You” and then lands a $275 million deal after opting out DURING THE WORLD SERIES, he has to make this list.” – Extra Mustard

3. Barry Bonds (10)

“Not because he broke the all-time record or because he got indicted for perjury, but because he has succeeded in becoming mainstream sports’ version of a wrestling heel.” – Joe Sports Fan

4. Tom Brady

“Touchdowns! Actresses! Supermodels! Andrea Kremer! Isn’t he dreamy?” – Dave’s Football Blog

5. Gilbert Arenas (7)

“The most interesting basketball player of the ’00s; we love him because he’s a dork like us.” – Deuce of Davenport
