Why is Tiger Woods so classless?

[Bob Sacamano]

No I haven't but I did place top ten in the UWGT and top 5 in the CEGT I have been top twenty in several Tournys the past 6 years and have also placed in team play. In golf you are playing against alot of things. You are playing against the course and the other players and previous records on the course and individual holes. You are right and wrong because it all depends on how far behind you are and how many holes are left. You don't start playing stupidly to get in first place when 2nd place also pays off and gains you a spot at another tour. Your freinds are either lieing to you or are the dumbest and worst golfers in history. Are you telling me if you have $250,000 in your hand and all you have to do is lay up chip green and then gimme a par three hole to walk away with that kinda money you would risk shanking a ball into the woods for a -2 and lossing out on any kinda pay day? Nope ya don't and even if you where right it wouldn't hold water in this convo because the pats where not comming from behind and going for it all they had a 40 point lead and went for it on forth down. The continued to rush to the line so you can't argue that they where trying to keep the ball to run the time out.

I love you Inman, but you just got owned w/ a capitol O

You ever golf at a high level? You can mentally dominate and impose will on your opponent/field. Its a very mental game. Mentally tough players have an advantage.

how so? by scrunching your nose and furrowing your brow at the competition, and sending them nasty text messages right before shots? oh, I know, you flex your muscles before getting off a 560 yard drive, then throw your club down

You have a classic passive golf mentality that may have done well to keep you in the pack in a stroke play format. But I concede players are also playing course to some sense depending on lead.

Tiger and Nicklaus are attacking the course and their opponents in match play mode. In your defense, I could beat many far superior golfers in match play with mental toughness, clutch shots under PRESSURE and gamesmanship but over 72 holes would lose 9 out of 10 times.

There is an element in stroke play to attack but be smart too. I just don't dismiss the impact that Tiger has on his opponent and that he's trying to personally bury him. I think he is.

In tournaments where he has a double digit stroke lead, why is he still trying to make birdie on the final hole? He's obviously trying to show up the other playesrs.

I also noticed Michael Jordan intentionally tried to make his shots when the Bulls were clearly the better team and winning by large margins.

What are we teaching our children? That it's okay to be a whole lot better than the other kids? What about the other kids self esteem? Why can't they all get first place trophies?

I always appreciate your recaps, but WOW. I can't even believe someone who even compare these specific things to what NE does. LOL.

 

[Hoov]

I was kind of bothered by NE running up the score but now i am just resigned to the fact that they are going to do that. At one point i was actually curious to see just how many they could score.

It will be fun to watch them do that to the eagles. Actually i was talking with a friend who said, let them keep doing it, someone is going to get pissed and take a cheap shot at Brady. Wouldnt be suprised to see a defensive player get upset and take his knee out. How smart wiould bellicheat feel then, having his star QB get hurt when up by 30 plus points.

You don't understand, By playing smart you can beat better players when they try stupid things like IR is talking about. They know that as well as you and wouldn't risk it. The point of this isn't golf though I could talk golf all day the point is that it is in no way near the same thing as what Bill and the cheats have been doing. And it's not just running up the points and going for it on 4th with a 40 point lead that pisses people off. It is the fact that the pats cheat take cheap shots they are rude arogant f*cks and have no morals or class what so ever and like LT said it starts at the top with the coach. What kinda person has an afair with a woman then calls and thretens the life of her husband? What kinda person pushes camera men to the ground? What kinda person lies cheats and steals? What kinda person shows a total lack of respect for teams coaches and the NFL as a whole hell the sport of footballl even. What kinda team takes cheap shots? What kinda team takes roids (harison)? This team is trash from top to bottum.

Either you're trying your hardest and giving your best effort or you're not. People don't have a problem when Tiger is trying his hardest until the very end, even when the outcome is decided and the rest of the field is in the clubhouse, but they expect the Patriots to quit trying their hardest 3/4 into the mach for the sake of sparing someone's feelings. Highly paid professional's feelings.

Golf is an individual sport. It is not like Tiger can pull himself for his backup. The Pats could have put in their backups or at the very least pulled Tom Brady.

They did with over 8 min left Brady and Moss were both out of the game.

I'm aware of this but it could have been done much earlier. Brady didnt come out of the game until it was 44-0

If you got the Colts coming up the next week, maybe its not a real good idea to get your starters acclimated to playing half a game. Maybe they wanted to use the Skins as practice for the next week. Especially since Greg Williams was playing a lot of Tampa 2, which is what Dungy is known for. If the poor Skins players (or any professional football player) doesn't like being treated as practice fodder, they can get in their Hummers, drive home to their mansions and cry themselves to sleep after the game comforted by the thought that you guys are holding a 24 hour candlelight vigil for them.

The problem with a discussion on class and respect is that the people with none cannot understand the concept.Sorta like speaking in foreign language when nobody else in the discussion knows that language.

He started the drive in the 4th qrt after that drive he came out. So in your view the Pats should have pulled the starters before the 4th qrt? I don't see any team doing that.

I love it when people lecture about class and respect, while simultaneously throwing personal insults at strangers on an anonymous internet messsageboard. I'm sure the irony was unintentional, but it's still a nice touch.

 

[Hoofbite]

this thread will never end.....ever...

 

[redfog]

hahaha what an idiotic analogy


you failed miserably


In football, you switch back and forth on offense. In the other sports you dont, so there's nothing wrong with trying to score in those sports. If Michael Jordan keep busting up threes when theyre up by like 30 points in the 4th then talk to me.

What Bellicheck doing is extremely stupid, he's obviously pimping out the his own team. It's a big *** to the rest of the league and Brady will get owned one day because of this Billicheat guy.
