Tiger Woods' Tale: Deep Thoughts and Quick Hits

Ok, let me get this straight; Tiger is called the greatest athlete of our day. 

He is being revered for his heroics by playing on a severely injured leg to win golf's toughest tournament.

This is supposed to be his finest hour, topping all his other incredible athletic achievements.

Yet what did Tiger really do? 

He beat a 45-year-old Rocco Mediate.

What other sport could a 45-year-old compete at the highest level of that sport?

Well, Michael Jordan did compete very well at the age of 40 in basketball, a sport that truly requires athleticism.

I hate to be a party pooper, but if you ask me, as nice of a story as it was for both Rocco and Tiger, this really just affirms what I have always believed about Tiger, he's not an athlete.

Tiger might as well have won darts competition with carpal tunnel or a billiards tournament with a bad back or the gout.

Tiger might be a great winner, and extremely talented at what he does.

But in my mind he will never be near Roger Federer as an athlete. 

People have claimed Federer isn't in Wood's league because of his recent troubles, but what Fed has to do athletically is so far and above Tiger Woods it is a complete joke, which is why his dominance in tennis has been so much more impressive.

John Daly and Rocco Mediate would be dead after one opening round match of a Grand Slam in tennis.
