The man that everyone thought would be there is as Tiger nailed a birdie putt on 18 to force a playoff against Rocco Mediate the underdog for today’s playoff. Yesterday nobody could get on track or pull away so it was an intense round of golf for even Lee Westwood who missed his birdie attempt on 18 to also force a playoff. This is a typical little guy vs the man secnario. This is good for golf an extra day of exposure and your top player maybe ever in his first Major playoff against a average player just happy to still be playing. Can Tigers knee hold up for another 18 holes? Will Rocco keep his composure and not let the imtimidating Tiger overcome him? I guess there will be some sick people today or taking an extra vaction day to find out. Good luck to both golfers.
Yes I understand this Kelly lady said that Tiger should be lynched in a back alley. Now Al Sharpton has jumped on this bandwagon saying that she should lose her job. That I understand as well. Now black people are all up in arms because Woods hadn’t come out and said how wrong this incident was and how he as a black man feels about it. That is where I start to not understand. To me at what point did Tiger become a black man. Yes his daddy is black but at what point has Woods ever embraced the black community. When Tiger won his first Masters legendary golfer Fuzzy Zoeller said and I paraphrase “I guess we will be having fried chicken and collard greens”. When Tiger, while his dad was still alive, didn’t come out and say anything about that I said to myself he is not a black man. From that point on I didn’t see him anymore as a brotha man just a tan man. I contend that the only reason black folks gravitated to Woods in the first place was because he was the only thing of color that we could associate with in a white man’s game. At that time Vijay Singh was nowhere near the golfer he is today. I also say that if there was a golfer who was a 100% black and played to the level of Phil Mickelson or even to a lesser extreme Ernie Els that would be the golfer black people would love not Tiger. But this absurd notion that as Sharpton wants to put it we should boycott Woods’ endorsements is crazy. We need to place our energy elsewhere. I mean we can’t look to athletes to be who we wnat them to be. They live in a different world. When will us as regular people start to realize that.
So you went out and bought a shiny new Playstation 3. Nice! What now? There are a few gamers in your neighborhood and you want some of the respect they are getting. Gamers are no longer geeks, nerds.Some of them are female and very hot.There are tournaments to enter and some money to be made. It’s kinda like an entry level rock star. Before you get to that you must have some games that will make people take notice (know how to play too please, don’t just buy and let it collect dust). I’m here to help. Here are 5 games that you must have to be taken seriously by other gamers.
1. Madden 08- If you don’t have Madden then you don’t have game, bottom line.
2. Smackdown VS Raw 08- because of the intense fighting style and button techniques, this game will have you fingers and brain warmed up for any game.
3. Need for Speed- Do I really have to explain this????? Ok, Gamers are competitors.Racing is just another way to compete and with street tuners they look good doin it. Most of the female gamers play the racing games and are damn good (tired of us guys saying they’re lousy drivers)!
4. Tiger Woods 08- Golf is boring to watch but for gaming it is as intense as any other game. You need game plans and some times have to take risks in golf.
5. Call of duty 4- Must have a first person shooter! Rainbow Six is good too if you can get either or. These games show your hunting ability and craftiness.Are you a straight up run-n-gun or do you have some kind of plan? Most gamers have a plan before they start any game no matter the title.
So get some or all of these if you want to impress your neighborhood gamer and learn to play. Even if you lose the first few never ever refuse to play again.
Chance Black Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Happy Gaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The answer is Roger Federer. This man wins everything well except the French Open. Other than that he has dominated his sport like no other. Not Michael Jordan not Tiger Woods can say they have done it the way Roger has in tennis. Now alot of you will say that since he doesn’t have a French Open title than he is not dominating his sport. That is not true. He has been in the finals of that event the last two years so it is not like he doesn’t show up at Roland Garros. He has been number one for almost 100 straight weeks and noone in tennis can ever say that. Even Tiger Woods finished a season out of the top spot. He has won Wimbledon five straight times, just completed his fourth straight U.S. Open, has won the Australian Open three times in the last four years. He has twice been the only male player to have reached the finals of all four grand slams in the same year( ‘06,’07). He is only 26 years old and stands two grand slam victories behind Pete Sampras’ record of 14. Needless to say barring any unforseen tradgedies in his life he will break that record and set it at such a number noone will ever break it.
