What makes you like golf when Tiger plays well? I've never understood this.

He was the reason I followed golf..Just my favorite golfer...But to answer your question, I dont know..

I don't either. He's totally not a likeable personality. Like I said, I don't get it.

Thanks for the cigars last night.

I never thought Michael Jordan was likeable either..But he was the best..Maybe thats it...And no problem..If you get a chance to try a "normal" Acid cigar, they are pretty good..

So if Jordan didn't play, you wouldn't be into the NBA? That's my lack of understanding. How one person makes you like a sport.

I mean, there is a 23 year old that hits it just as far as Tiger and is taking over golf basically. I could see if there were no stories and we were talking about Steve Stricker or something every week.

I just don't think you are really into the sport.

Standout defenseman Danny DeKeyser returning to WMU next season per Bob McKenzie's twitter.

I figured we didn't have a thread for this type of stuff so I put it here, if I'm wrong I'm sure Raj moves it.

You can't even compare him to MJ since its a team game. If you're goin to compare him to anyone it should be as the non athlete version of Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I generally dont give a **** about track, I think Usain Bolt has the personality of Soulja Boy but if he's going to be running I'll watch and it's the only way I'd watch track. There is no hometown team to root for, you can't pull for a jersey so you're tied to individuals.

People want to watch greatness excel and if there is one thing that's certain it's that we don't give a **** about an entertainment figure's real life personality.

Unless they're Tebow, we care a lot then.

Compare him to Pete Sampras. I didn't watch tennis because of Sampras and the record. I had no interest in it to begin with, so why would I care to watch greatness when I don't even like the sport.

[pGekko]

It just reminds me of the fandom of a girl or something.

I don't know, i wouldnt watch golf or tennis if Schwarzenegger was playing Satan for the fate of the world, but you can't argue that it wasn't the same thing. People definitely liked watching Samprass who didn't care about tennis.

Did you watch Tyson fight back in the day? Would you watch anyone else box?
