He's more special than anyone can really imagine. I have said it before...when you are at that level and your peers are in awe of you...

Same thing with Federer in tennis. When Pete Sampras said Roger Federer was the best talent hes ever seen (5 years ago after Sampras beat Federer in Australia), you have to take listen.

So many folks see something special and all they can do is find fault....Woods doesn't win from behind that often, Secretariat lost some races, Kincsem didn't run against household names, Jordan didn't score as much as Wilt, Babe Ruth struck out a lot, Dale Earnhart didn't have a great record at Daytona...sometimes, you just sit back and watch greatness...it doesn't require analysis or a critical eye...you just enjoy it and realize how lucky you are to see it!!

My favorite tournaments to watch are the ones that Tiger has to battle his hardest to pull off.The ones where his game is probably 90%.Like the 2005 Masters(Di Marco playoff,)and the tournament this year at Torrey Pines(OLAZABAL/Nathan Green? playoff.)Also the PGA playoff win against Bob May.That's when I like to watch Tiger(I don't get much out of him destroying a field..seems others do enjoy that.)

Kev,did you say Tiger was paying 40% back on your money at Pinnacle before last Sunday's round? That was the best bet I have ever heard of.He has won now for the 29th straight time when he has gone into the final round with the sole possession lead(he had not 1 shot,but 2 shots on Sunday.)I have 10k that should be 14k.Sometimes,betting horses for 25 years,can make ya a scared little btch.We all could have afforded to turn 1k into $1400 though.No,we didn't want that did we Kev? What's $400??...Oh,just over a 100 GALLONS OF FREE FKN GAS..... G' DAMN IT!!

Some of us thought Running Dog was a better bet Scuds! Tiger doesnt win from behind and I am sure thats going to tarnish his genius. I am an idiot for not making the Tiger bet.
