Remember Bobby Riggs? I do remember Bobby Riggs. Wasn't he the 55-year old retired tennis player who slaughtered the #1 ranked female player (Margaret Smith Court, who was 31 at the time) 6-2, 6-1? Or were you referring to the more famous made-for-TV match against Billie Jean King (who was 27 years his junior), where he lost 6-4, 6-3, 6-3? Did you remember that Riggs had to play the match with two handicaps? He was forced to cover the entire doubles court (while King had to only cover the traditional singles court).Riggs was only allowed one serve (while King was allowed the normal two serves before fault).So, if we were to make a fair comparison, it would be like Annika Sorenstam playing against Jack Nicklaus, except that Nicklaus wouldn't be allowed to use more than 5 clubs, and Sorenstam would always drive from the ladies tees.
Excellent point, grum. I do remember the Billy Jean-Bobby Riggs match, and I thought then (and still do today) that it was the biggest joke I'd ever seen. A similar match today wouldn't even be broadcast. That would be like putting a middle-aged, recreational male tennis player out on the court against Martina Navratilova. Oh yeah, then give her a few advantages, too.
that article is a joke. Annika dominates people that couldnt hold Tigers jock strap, and Tiger dominates golfers that Annika herself cant beat. Oh yeah she's the best golfer ever, and hasnt even made a PGA cut once.
Damn, where's lbb and her intelligent women's insight when you need it? Obviously if you look at golf as one sport only, Tiger is the best around. But if you look at golf as two sports (ie: men's golf and women's golf), then there may indeed be a story here. If any of you actually read the article, you'd notice that it reflects Tiger's data to the men's tour and Anika's data to the women's tour. When contemplating who is the best at any sport, the comparison is to a person's peers. This year Anika won 50% of her events against her peers. Neither Tiger, nor Jack nor even the mighty Hogan has ever done that. Therefore, it's safe to say that Anika is currently dominating her sport more than Tiger is dominating his sport. Nothing more needs to be made of it than that. Tiger is awsome. Anika is awsomer.
Dammit drevl, what have I told you about actually reading the article and then posting coherent observations about such? You better watch that kind of behavior, pal.
AWESOMER? drevl always said "Once you be speaking gooder english, cant nobody change it." drevl, piers are for jumping off! The ONLY thing Annika has on Eldrick is that she has a bigger (or awesomer) penis!
Nice talk, coming from CuntDracula
Hey drevl, go easy, your Mama named me CuntDracula. She also takes care of the carpet burns she puts on my face!
His mom knocked you down, rubbed your face on the carpet and then took care of the burns? Weird. If that's not the case, please take this sorry-ass NBA-quality slapfight elsewhere. drevl makes a decent comment, you swing and miss at the sarcasm in his comment and then you're bringing leftover, not even playground worthy Yo'mama jokes.
Dorothy Mantooth is a SAINT! You hear me?
