Just "watching" the results online for some reason they think a TV in my office would slow my productivity.

[DividedThigh]

that is funny baron,mine too, lol

[Elizabeth]

They say that the crowds are pulling for Rocco, and I have to admit I am too-

What a beautiful day though, would LOVE LOVE to be there!

[Joie]

What a gorgeous location! God's creations continue to amaze me.

Yes, think I would like Ricco to win. Hearing his health reports, Ricco may not continue to play this well.

Working and watching; mostly listening.:bliss

[Baron1710]

If I was betting I would put my money on Tiger.

[DividedThigh]

me too, watching as we speak, all even after 5 holes, advantage to the cat, lol

[Blubayou]

We are watching in - we are pulling for Rocko-

[Elizabeth]

If I was betting I would put my money on Tiger.

You are probably rignt, his abilities are just amazing-he rarely misses.

But I am still rooting for Rocco!

[Elizabeth]

Well- he just hit in the sand-yeah!

[Baron1710]

Well- he just hit in the sand-yeah!

Just giving him a chance to catch back up before he dashes his dream.

[DividedThigh]

teasing him, calming him for the kill, dt

[Blubayou]

If he won- Rocco would be the oldest man to win an Open! That is what my husband told me - I do not follow golf.

[Baron1710]

Those that are watching it ought to be kind enough to give us the play by play.

Tiger is second to MJ for all time best athlete!!

He will pass up Jack by far!

He will no doubt leave a legacy that will be hard to touch.

How are we judging best? Championships won or most athletic ability?

[clgustaveson]

He WILL have won more when he retires Jack has 4 on him and had a gazillion more years by '85.

[Baron1710]

Sorry my bad. Wasn't comparing the Tiger to Jack, I was responding to Jordan as the best athlete. I think there have been better athletes.

[Mr. Steinway]

Tiger Woods can't tie my shoelaces! (because I can't get close enough to him to ask him!) :toofunny

[clgustaveson]

Well, who would you consider better? Kobe? No way... He has never been the center piece like he is now and they are losing.

Jordan and Tiger just know how to come back, Tiger went into this with an injury, not making him have an excuse but making him human.

Tiger is by far the best, the skill level and the mentality have been matched by few and Jordan has been there.

IMHO of course.

Kobe? No.

Thinking more along the lines of a Bo Jackson. Somebody who was a great athlete not just a great player in one sport.

[clgustaveson]

Good ole Bo... I don't even rank him up there because had he only played one sport he would have just been along for the ride.

He is nowhere near Manning or Brady in football and nowhere near the MLB greats... Granted he was good but not good enough in either.

[Michael Phelps]

Kobe? No.

Unforunately, Bo didn't have the staying power........he was great, but for a brief time.

[clgustaveson]

How great was he?

Don't get me wrong, he was better then most but not the greats of the sports he was in.

He was a good pro ball player but no where near the greats....

[Michael Phelps]

How great was he?

Don't get me wrong, he was better then most but not the greats of the sports he was in.

He was a good pro ball player but no where near the greats....

In my opinion, his greatness was in his diversity.

Witness MJ, who tried to play baseball, and failed miserably. Witness Deion Sanders who tried to play two sports and quickly faded into mediocrity.

Witness numerous two-three sport college athletes who can't make it in either sport in the pros, due (IMHO) to the fact that they are not focused solely on either sport.

Bo could play multiple sports well, but he just didn't last........

Sanders was just as good at football as Bo was, Bo stunk up the field. As an Outfielder Bo was horrible, when he became the DH he did better but that just shows you he wasn't an all around MLB player cause he could only make it with one set (the set I hate BTW).

Like I said he was ok but he was not better then Dion and didn't last much longer in lime then Dion either (if any).

One Probowl and only 16 touchdowns.... Bo would have probably landed the top of my list if he would have played football... he was a great in football but his heart was on baseball.... Oh well.:tissue

[Neubill]

Maybe 'mediocre' isn't the best word. Per Merriam-Webster, mediocre is "of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance."

Deion played Major League Baseball (!!!) for 7 straight seasons while he played in the National Football League (!!!).

Playing both offense and defense, catching passes, returning punts, and defending the best pass catchers in the NFL, he earned six trips as a starter to the NFL Pro Bowl (8 total), yet managed to be a decent enough outfielder, hitter, and base stealer for 7 straight seasons to keep teams interested enough in him to trade for him. He hit for .260 over a nine year career. After taking a year off in '96, he came back the following year and batted .270 in more than 450 plate appearances while starting in 12 NFL games. In '92 he batted .300 in 300 at-bats and then started in 12 NFL games.

As a baseball player, his stats aren't Hall of Fame material, yet he managed to play regularly, while keeping two sets of employers happy. If his performance is mediocre, then I want to be mediocre, and I don't think I would be the only one.

By the way, I am not a fan of baseball or football, but am not ignorant of either sport. I am also not a fan of Deion Sanders, the athlete. I am a fan of Deion Sanders, the person, who gave his life to Jesus after the late Charles Mahanney (of blessed memory) witnessed to him on a long airplane flight. What he's doing now, I don't know, but I do know that Deion knows the Acts 2:38 message.

I agree, Bo was a pro in both sports no doubt and was great at both, Deion was good at one, decent at the other. I still wouldn't put either of them up there with Tiger or Jordan.

I guess it depends on if you are talking athletic ability or excelling in one sport. Jordan showed his inability to get it done on the diamond, and it always helpful for the stats when you get the extra step on the court as well as a whistle when you miss a basket.

[Cindy]

How much did Tiger make for the win?

Jordan was a decent hitter, considering he never played for the MLB you can't compare him to anyone else.

[Baron1710]

Jordan wasn't good enough for the MLB. You keep looking at positions and stats, I am saying some of these guys are great athletes some learn to excel at certain positions. Dan Marino is a hall of fame QB, but a great athlete maybe not so much he couldn't out run a tortoise to the sidelines.

A great athlete doesn't mean you can be the best all around, as has been proven by Jackson and Sanders nobody has been good enough at two sports.

A real athlete is someone that can perform for their team, or to do what they need to do to win.

Tiger is the best at least in recent memory of any athlete ever.
