Subject: Tiger AP male athlete of year?...nigguh please
I am a Tiger Woods disciple...but let's be honest. Is there anybody in
the known universe who really believes Tiger is a better athlete than
LaDainian Tomlinson? If a great golfer is by definition an athlete
then any great heart surgeon has a legit claim as an athlete. In an
operation room, a heart surgeon displays all the mental and physical
attributes of a great golfer.

"If at first you don't suceed, then sky diving isn't for you."

Tomilson is a a great athlete.. no doubt. But how good would his
numbers be if he ran behing Gallery and the rest of the Raider
offensive line? ..exactly! Again, no one would ever criticize LT. Now
u may want to compare Tiget to Fedderer (sp?). They both dominate
their respective sport. However, Tennis has historically had a player
to dominate the game..

In golf, we have NOT seen anyone dominate the field in ALL categories
as Tiger has. He's breaking records held by a 1/2 dozen different
golfers from varying decades. Add to that, Tiger is now playing
against true athletes in his respective sport where technology has
made it much easier to "catch-up". Jack and the rest played against
good golfers, but most were out of shape compared to today's
standards.

Tiger's long dominence (decade) def puts him as the top athlete. No
doubt im my mind anyways..

Which heart surgeon do you use that shoots below par pretty much every time
he plays?

Athlete: a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving
physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise,
or game requiring physical skill.

Show the link to whichever dictionary has the definition of athlete
that you are using, and then we can discuss who fits the definition
better.

There's a sports talk radio who claims that Lance Armstrong isn't an
athlete because "anybody can ride a bike".

I've never even heard of LaDainian or whatever her name is. At least
golf is played over the world.

Is golf really a sport is the question? If so then he IS deserving. To
be the best & to DOMINATE against the best in the in world
consistently is saying something.

Tiger gets tired and misses by an inch, it is a bogie. A heart surgeon gets
tired and misses by an inch, somebody dies.

An accountant gets tired and misses by an inch and the GL totals don't
balance.

When pilots miss the exact landing point by several feet, nobody
notices. The rest of the flight is all about missing by great
distances.

When Hilary Clinton suggested that the mentally retarded should not have
guns; she might have been talking about Otto. I have never landed a
Cessna 172 within inches of where I wanted. And dirty stall on that is 54
mph. I believe 757's typically land at 160 mph to 180 mph. Inches......
hahahahahahahah That's rich!!!!!

When they start writing up triple bypasses along side the weekend NBA
results and the MLB boxscores (and the NFL arrests) then yes.
