I hate Tiger Woods but it does say something about how good he used to be when he's ranked #1 in the world and people talk about him "hanging on".

That being said, I don't want him to win any more majors because the media jerking off to it will be obnoxious beyond belief.

I'd love to hear the logic...

These same can be said here:
Someone who hits a golf ball is not an "athlete"
Someone who kicks a field goal is not an "athlete"

You act like these arguments haven't been made a billion times already.

Yep, that's my point. It's always the same old stuff old arguement, but no one ever applies logic, but just spouts off.
