Tiger Woods (3 Viewers)

Oh, I thought you were literally saying that Tiger Woods was as bad as Hitler. Thanks for clarifying.
No problem. Not sure why you had trouble with that. :shrug:
In retrospect I suppose it's clear that responding to a story of a philandering golfer writing a touching letter to a teenager who attempted suicide by invoking Hitler's name is totally reasonable and logical.
Again, that's not what I was responding to. I was responding to your ridiculous claim that his actions made up for everything else he's ever done. HTH
I didn't realize I'd made that claim.

Look, obviously you weren't saying that he's as bad as Hitler. But nobody who invokes Hitler/Nazis in making an argument against someone or something they don't like is ever saying that. That doesn't make their arguments any less preposterous and moronic. We're talking about a guy who cheated on his wife and is often grumpy and aloof. If that makes you hate him, go for it. But if you suggest that those sins are so bad that weighing them against a kind letter is in any way analogous to weighing the killing millions of Jews against a hospital visit ... well, it makes you look ridiculous.
I didn't compare him to Hitler. Not sure what you don't get about that. You replied under a letter he wrote "What a jerk. I can see why people root against him." Thus, you are saying that since he wrote that letter, it's outrageous for anyone to think he's a bad guy. Not sure what else you'd be trying to say there, if not that. Maybe you should clarify your statement.
Yes, you did. You created an analogy, which is literally defined as a comparison between two things. Stop trying to weasel out of it. It hasn't worked for any of the thousands of other people who've made terrible Hitler analogies and it won't work for you.
You're an idiot. I didn't create an analogy. I made a ridiculous comparison to your ridiculous statement. Again, clarify your statement. I'd love to hear what you meant when you said "What a jerk. I can see why people root against him."

 
Pro Tiger Guy here: Nailing tail on the side sounds like a prowl. Welcome back, GBTigerWoods,
Amen!

Although, this is a bit out of character, and a little troubling, frankly.

What a jerk. I can see why people root against him.
This makes up for everything? Like forgiving Hitler because he once visited a sick boy at the hospital. :lol:

Sadly, if he would have done this his whole career, people probably would have liked him more.
Stay golden pony boy!

I meant to point out that people are complicated and to mock the general notion of hating an athlete because you think you understand their persona based on the 1% of their lives we see as sports fans.

And don't call me an idiot. You absolutely made an analogy. It's not my fault that you apparently don't know what an analogy is.

You are an idiot. I clearly made a outlandish comparison to highlight your asinine comment. It was meant to be funny and show the stupidity of your post, all at the same time. It did an excellent job. Why you think that's an analogy gone wrong is mind blowing. Hence, going back to my first sentence.

Oh, now I see. Based on the bolded it appears that you are saying that you made an outlandish comparison, but you also didn't make a comparison. Got it.

By the way, I don't think you're an idiot. I just think you made a stupid analogy and then flipped out when I responded with a two word post pointing out that it was a stupid analogy. No big deal. Keep up with the personal insults if that makes you feel better, though. I don't mind.

What are you even talking about? You are pretty much that little kid who can never admit he's wrong. When did I ever say I didn't make a comparison? I said right from the get go that I did. What's your argument? Seriously. You made a ridiculous comment that was meant to take a shot at people who don't like Tiger. As if he was this God amongst Gods who could do no wrong. "How dare people dislike him when he clearly has written a note to a kid! Damn them to hell with my sarcasm!!!!"

I seriously don't understand where you're having trouble here. You are wrong. And not just slightly, but unbelievably wrong. Yet you are trying to wiggle your way out of it. "No, mommy, I wasn't wrong. It was the teacher's fault for not asking the question right."

For the love of God, dude, man up. You spend so much time on here trying to prove you're right all of the time that you're starting to believe your own hype. I used to think you were funny. But now I'm starting to realize that you really hold yourself in such high regard. And it's kind of sad, honestly.

Look, you made a dumb analogy by any reasonable definition of that word. You think you didn't. Maybe you have a different opinion of what constitutes an analogy. That's fine by me and not really worth fighting about. I should have dropped it long ago, so I apologize for this post that apparently set you off.

As far as the rest of your post- you want to think I'm stupid or sad or that I'm a "little kid" and should "man up," so be it. But only one of us is resorting to insults and personal attacks, and it ain't me.

 
He's no Jack Nicklaus. His game started going down the crapper as soon as his messing around on his wife went public.
Welcome to page 68.
I would rather just say what I said instead of reading all this garbage to see if someone else already posted it. Tiger really isn't that interesting anymore. He's JAG.
Yeah, I was thinking this as I was watching the last couple rounds of the Players. So many players (dozens) around the world that are younger and better than Tiger.

Beyond his fame (and infamy), he just isn't relevant any longer.

Sticking with the analogy argument? :lol:

 
hitler could never hit a 1 iron worth a damn
No one can hit a 1-iron.
John Daly used to play with a 0-iron. link
But it drove him to drink.

OK, let me rephrase: I could barely hit a 3-iron, let alone a 1-iron.

Isn't this the reason hybrids were invented?
No. Hybrids were invented because people were tired of paying high gas prices.
OK, this has got to be the real lowest point in the thread, no?

Okay. We'll go with the violent swing and unable to adjust to it. Nothing more.
What do you mean?

He isn't good enough to adjust his swing and still dominate. #### happens.

You can look at it as an excuse, I look at it as a reason. He just didn't have the kind of swing to last like the other greats. I thought this was somewhat common knowledge for anyone who knows anything about a golf swing.
You just answered the question. The best ever would still be able to compete at his age. He's not competitive. He's turned into nothing but a field filler. That's not best ever material.
Maybe I view best ever differently. I dont view best ever over a 50 year period.

At his best, he was the best ever. That best lasted long enough to put him near the top of the rankings for wins for the biggest tournaments.

Again, he didnt accomplish the most, but I view him as the best ever based on how crazy good he was and destroying everyone for a pretty damn decent chunk of time.

Terrell Davis was the best RB of all time, too.

I guess you failed to read the part where I said he did it long enough for me to personally view him as the best.

Some people view 15 years as a decent amount of time for a career in pro sports.

So I guess you view Emmitt as the best RB ever then?

So all we really have left to talk about is his legacy and his personal life at this point, correct?

FWIW, I think he should go down as one of the most dominant athletes of all time. In his prime, every golfer on the course was terrified of him like opponents were scared of Jordan.

I think Steve Young is a better comparison. At his best, Young was as great as any QB I've ever seen, but his time at the top wasn't as long as the others usually mentioned in the top tier (Montana, Peyton, Brady, etc.), so he is always listed just below those guys in the highest tier.

No, but Barry was.

You can't be serious. He's 1 or 2 in some order with Jack if he does nothing but bang skanks the rest of his life.
