Tiger more safe than a Dog? Yup.

And Scuds, you probably like watching Nadal play Federer. Tennis doesnt get any better than those two going at it. I like competition as well, but we get a rare chance to see a guy like Tiger about once in a lifetime. There are a few Phils and Ernies and Vijays, but only one Tiger.

This is just like our Fathers or Grandfathers got to see (or read about) when Hogan kicked butt in "53, a spectacle to watch. Love him or hate him ( I am a T fan big time) you are seeing something people will write about 100 years from now...........not that we'll be around to prove it..................kinda like Seabiscuit or Man 'O War, etc.

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.)
