I seen Tony Sirugusa at White Castle in Indianapolis several years back when I lived their. It was right after last call, imagine that. Tony was sitting in front of, in my best estimation, 25-30 sliders, some onion rings, the man was slammin em' down. Dude can eat.

Dusty Rhodes is my favorite wrestler. Those were the days. I can't stand wrestling today. Give me the Iron Shiek, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Andre The Giant, shoot I could talk for hours.

Kev we actually partly agree on something. Bo Jackson is the true definition of an athlete. I'll tell ya somebody I have always thought of as well as a well rounded athlete, those hot dog eating contests people as well as your spelling bee champions, yahtzee and poker players.

that's ridiculos calling pro wrestling a sport when the outcome is already arranged, I don't care if they are in great shape
I'm willing to bet any man
I could throw a football( professional weight and size)
a farther distance than Michelle Wie
and I am willing to wager I could out box Dusty Rhodes
and Somerfrost I challenge you to arm-wresting
if he likes wresting so much
and I will beat any man or woman at horse show tossing

I would consider golf a sport but please stop pretending that walking a golf course is any real athletic exercise. Especially when they stop every couple hundred yards for 1-2 minutes to ponder over and hit a shot. The only type of walking that yields any athletic gain is powerwalking done for a very extended period of time...at least 30 to 45 minutes.

Tiger is freakishly athletic in a sport which has so many out of shape slobs in it like John Daly, Tim Herron and Phil Mickelson, all of which are consistently near the top of the leaderboard in major tournaments.

Phil did look heavy at the PGA...Tiger's the only one who stays properly motivated, and brings it every time, plus he does thrive under pressure...one time the first tee was in front of an open clubhouse and everyone was watching me tee off, I missed the ball like 5 times in a row, men, ladies, children, were all laughing at me (and pointing), it really took me back to high school...but I'm not bad when nobody's watching...in a PGA event I'd have a panic attack and throw my club in the air and then jump in a water hazard

it's a game of tremendous skill and concentration, I just prefer a Jordan who competed against athletes in the prime physical shape of their lives

Golf takes tons of skill. As far as athleticism goes, I just dont see how being physically fit helps out the top players all that much. Phil Mickelson has played the best golf of his life as hes packed on the pounds. He never won a major until he became very overweight. John Daly has been in bad health for as long as hes played on the tour. Tim Herron is the poster boy for Krispy Kremes yet his name consistently floats around at the top of some very big leaderboards. Lets face it, Tiger is the exception to the rule. He could probably have played a lot of sports at a very high level but was god blessed with golf skills unlike anyone we've ever seen. He is also blessed with great genes and has an intense work ethic. Doesnt hurt that he hung around with college football players at Stanford for 4 years.

Conversely look at tennis, a sport where the greatest athletes are rewarded. Its no coincidence that guys like Federer and Nadal are dominating the game. Look at them. And Agassi, Courier, Chang, Edberg and Becker, all very physically fit and all at the top of tennis at one time or another.
