The truly remarkable thing about Tiger is that he putted lousy all week and frequently sprayed the driver and still finished second — in a major championship against all the other best players int he world.

correct … it was awkward phrasing. Should have said “everyone else not listed.”

You are misinterpreting the “Field” bet. Field is everyone who does not get their own odds. So Tiger did not have better odds than everyone else combined. He had better odds than everyone who was not good enough to have their own odds.

I knew Ramon Ortiz. Ramon Ortiz was a nemesis of mine. And you, Livan Hernandez, are no Ramon Ortiz.

Would Nascar be similar to Golf in that you are up against the hole field rather than one individual or team?

I understand that Tiger is unbelievable, outrageous, etc. etc. but why is he above criticism? Whenever he loses it is because of something he did rather than the other guys just playing well. He gets away with acting like a 3 year old baby when things get tough because he is the best? I don’t understand that.

Before we get too excited about Livan, remember that Ramon Ortiz started last season 4-0.

Dave - You clearly are not counting the WNBA in this discussion.

And really neither sport makes you want to pour gasoline on your eyes, which should really be the defining characteristic for all decision-making.

Brandon - How isn’t it a sport. My personal opinion is that certain things on ESPN should not be on ESPN (Poker, Pool, Darts, Bowling, Auto Racing). But it’s really not that far from basketball…just played at a much slower pace. You’re trying to get in a ball, in to a slightly lager hole. Golf you get rewarded if you can do it from further away in the least amount of tries just like basketball. Basketball has 7′ 0″ guys blocking your shots, Golf has 30′ tall trees. Basketball has people yelling at you while you shoot, golf has fans with cellphone cameras. Basketball has out of shape or old players like Antoine Walker and Dikembe Mutombo, Golf has John Daily. The similarities are endless…
