SKIP BAYLESS GETTIN BRADY's BACK!

[the taildragger]

this isn't a knock against Tiger.

The guy is flat out ridiculous.

I was a long time Jack fan and Tiger is still chasing his 18 majors....but the 2000 US Open changed all that....it was inarguably the single most dominant performance in sports history....

The margin for error in golf is razor thin....one bad shot in the first round can kill an entire tournament (you could say the same for an errant pass in the first quarter)....while one bad shot in the first set of a tennis major does zero harm....that's why it's so much tougher to dominate in golf.

There is no precedent for Tiger's consistent domination in the big events, year in and year out.

Most believe it's more impressive to dominate an individual sport....perhaps, other than ONE POSITION....NFL QBs carry a set of responsibility that golfers can't fathom.

Ask Tiger if he prefers worrying only about himself, or if he would rather have the challenge of leading 50 other guys into battle.

Golfers don't have to deal with Strahan and Osi.

There's a mental and physical toughness required by QBs that you don't find anywhere else. You don't find them giving dirty looks to fans who snap pictures during their throwing motion.

Golfers aren't leaders....

Jordan was. Russell was. Pele was. Gretzky was. Thorpe and Gipp were. Jackie Robinson was.

Brady is.

That those guys led, supported, and depended on other men gives them MORE separation over individual stars, not less.

Sorry, I don't think it's even close. Tiger is redefining his sport. He is demolishing records from careers 2-3x as long as his.

First of all how is this different from what Brady is doing?????

Brady to my mind is the superior and more dominant athlete because what he does is so much more difficult the what Tiger does. Tiger does not have 11 guys trying to break his leg every time he tees off or anyone right in his face when he is trying to putt.

Brady not only has to do what he does to an exceptional level he also has to lead the rest of his 53 man team to excel like he desires to excel lets see Tiger lead other men to win in a team competition......does the Ryder cup come to mind.

Tiger is a great golfer but golf is about you the golfer, meaning what happens is about your performance alone.

While Brady is a great and maybe even the best QB ever he would be only slightly above average in success without the other 52 men on the T E A M.

Brady's ability to LEAD is what makes him the most dominate in his sport not just his particular skill as a QB it just takes more to dominate in football and Brady has it all of it.

Re: WOODY PAGE GETTIN BRADY's BACK!

Football and Golf CANNOT be compared!!!!

Yes, Tiger is far ahead of everyone else; like Federer and Nadal are in tennis! But the sports are completely different!

Tiger, Federer and Nadal, don't have up to 8 men running at them, as they swing or serve!!!!

Re: WOODY PAGE GETTIN BRADY's BACK!

You want to compare golf to football? There's only one football player on the team that is a good comparison -- the kicker. Not a lot of physical activity, quite a bit of mental fortitude and concentration required. Consistency is critical.

So you can't compare Brady to Woods. Better to compare woods to a dominant kicker. Gary Anderson's perfect season with the '98 Vikings? That was pretty dominant. Adam Vinatieri's four rings? Somewhat dominant.

None compare in domination to Woods.
