He certainly gets a lot of holes-in-one.
Actually - not.
Even Tiger doesn't consider himself 'black.'
Indeed, he's only 1/4 black - and more Eurasian, and white and Native American. So why does everyone insist he's black.
In this case who is the pimp and who is the ho? Hard to tell.
It's great for your flexibility. My knees, back, shoulders, elbows, and wrists always feel better during golfing "season". Both of my knees are completely blown after 50 years of playing catcher in baseball and softball, so the walking, bending, and turning keeps them as flexible as possible.
But I don't consider myself an athlete because I golf by any stretch of the imagination. I get more actual exercise by square-dancing.
That's a year from now.
Also, do you American League fans who disparage golf consider the DH to be an athlete? All he does is swing a bat.
Tiger deserves some kind of award for his amazing putz.
Tiger is not a tiger anymore, he has mutated into a cheetah.
Ridiculous. Golf is a sport but it isn’t athletic.
The world’s best athlete the last decade is probably Lance Armstrong who puts out more energy in one Tour than Tiger has expended in a lifetime of golfing. Besides, Lance wouldn’t even be in the conversation if he lost most of the time and didn’t even pull a 2nd or 3rd place. But that is THE STORY of Tiger’s career. More losses than wins.
Also, there’s no “9th hole” in atheletic competition.
I’d pick a decathlete, a distance runner, a boxer, or a tri-athlete if I didn’t go with Armstrong.
Typical media reaction, though, you go for name recognition rather than substance.
If it’s an activity during which you can smoke and drink, does that qualify as a sport? Some people consider sex a sport, after all.
Athlete of the Year in what sport?????
I have a feeling that his credit cards are larger and more, um, stimulating than any part of his anatomy.
I know, it’s ridiculous. Golf is a fine game. But golfers as athletes? Compare a golfer to, say, Ray Lewis. In terms of strength, speed, endurance, agility...it’s not even close. And I’m not saying Ray Lewis is athlete of the decade. I just picked him at random. Comparing Tiger Woods’ athleticism to Ray Lewis is absurd. Funny that the top 3 in their vote was a golfer, a cyclist, and a tennis player. I think I would look elsewhere for a great athlete. Probably to football, or maybe an olympian or something.
Woods voted top athlete of the decade While simultaneously winning the prize of (even the dogs think he's a dirtbag) |
Tiger Woods was on his way to Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia to play golf. He took the opportunity to drive his new Lexus through the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While in Tennessee, he stopped to get gas at a little podunk service station in the middle of nowhere. There was an attendant with buck teeth and bib-overalls sitting on the bench outside of the station. The attendant knew absolutely nothing of golf and certainly didn't know who Tiger Woods was.
While Tiger was pumping the gas, a couple of golf tees fell from his pocket onto the ground.
Uhhh, say there, fella. You dropped somethin'," noticed the attendant.
"Oh, yea, thanks. Those are my tees," replied Tiger.
"Your what?" came the response.
"TEES, " said Tiger.
"Well, what-er them fo'? "
"They're tees -- you know . . . They hold up my balls when I'm driving."
"Well, ga-a-a-awwww-lee-e-e-e," remarked the attendant,
"Them Lexus folks think of everything, don't they?"
Obozo gets the Nobel, Tiger awarded athlete of the decade, and next up, OJ Simpson gets humanitarian of the century.
Athlete? It’s golf, for heaven’s sake!!
Exactly! Anyone that can play 18 holes of golf and hold his own with the world's best, then still have the strength to service all those mistresses has got to at least be in good shape.......
