HEEeee'sss BBBBaaaaccckk!.

OK!, so here's the deal. I know how great Tiger woods is, always have, But after he rallied for another victory (his first post op) as he continues on his quest to becoming the greatest golfer EVER!, I had to ask myself this question. Is Tiger the greatest athlete in sports today?. I don't want to say ever to that question cause for one thing it's a very broad scope when thinking of the question on that level. There're just too many great athletes in history to even suggest that a golfer (no disrespect intended) is the greatest ever. But i do think there's a case to be made for him to stake a claim as the greatest athlete today. In my mind, the only two people in sports today who share tiger's killer instinct are, kobe bryant and lebron james. These two guys are like trained assassins who know when to attack their prey with that final deathblow. Tiger is certainly in that class. he smells blood & then go in for the kill. It doesn't help the others on the tour that most of them are already INTIMIDATED by the spectre that is woods. Tiger's intensity level reminds me of two other athletes who may be the GREATEST ever in michael jordan & lawrence taylor. Name me two other men who were as intensed as those two & ALSO had the seek & destroy ability that #'s 23 & 56 had. TYSON?, yeah, he had it for awhile, but we all know what happened after buster douglas. ray lewis?. Yeah his intensity might very well match MJ & LT, but his physical ability doesn't come close to either. Tiger's does, but in a very different contrast. For one, he plays a cingular sport where's the other two played a team sport. Two - I don't think tiger's competion is on the same level as MJ & LT when they played. I also believe thats why LBJ & kobe are ahead of him as well. the competion in the nba right now is probaly as good as it's been since the late 80's early 90's during the jordan run. Same in the nfl during LT's heyday in new york with the giants during the early 80's thru early 90's. That's to take nothing away from tiger. But the times are what they are. Tiger's comp is simply not on kobe's, LBJ's, jordan's or LT's. But i still think he's the greatest golfer ever. The final four is set & who would've thought michigan state would be one of the four?. Big ups to Tom Izzo for again directing his team into the four team final dance. Unless i'm wrong, i think it's his third trip in the last five years. Nice job. looks like John calipari is heading to the bluegrass state. Word on the strip (everyone says street) is he's closing in on an eight year 35 million dollar deal. Well if it's true, then kentucky may have finally righted the wrong they commited in firing tubby smith a few short years ago. Tuesday is the day for Plaxico Burress to began the process of salvaging his career with the New York Giants. The talk is no plea deal has been reached, so Burress lawyer will seek to have an adjournment to give the burress team & the D.A. more time to structure a suitable deal for both parties. It says here that Burress WILL do some sort of jail time, But i think he'll suit up for Big Blue in 09. When you look at the moves the Giants made in free agency, combined with 11 picks in the upcoming nfl draft, & Burress on the field. ON paper, & with all due respect to the world champion steelers, The Football Giants ARE the team to beat this upcoming nfl season. And don't forget, they get back a healthy Osi Umenyiora. That's SCARY!.
