In his article, "Friday Night Lights don't shine perspective on Sunday Golf Tournaments", Ryan Ballengee writes an entire piece about how Buzz Bissinger, author of the popular Friday Night Lights series on NBC, is wrong about Tiger being done for. Ballengee writes, the Masters didn't mark the end of Tiger!
Instead, writes Balengee, Tiger was gone long ago. Back in 2009 when YE Yang came from behind to steal the tournament from him, that's why Tiger as we knew him faltered. But, either way, to both of these sports writers, Tiger is gone.
I think it's funny hearing people write about sports... I don't want to say I'm above them, just to the side of them. During the time I have been maintaining this blog I haven't been writing about sports as if they are mystical pop-culture fantasies as these writers seem to. It's funny because I know that both of these guys are so, so, so wrong. Sometimes you've got to just stop and realize the situation. Tiger woods will win again. He'll probably beat Jack's record. Instead of the Masters disproving that, the Masters proved that Tiger still has it: shot making ability, clutch putting, an intimidation factor. All of this was just too little to late, but it happened! That's a new development for anyone watching Tiger woods. He played well.
Here's to Tiger's next big win that I think will come sooner than later. And here's to those two writers being wrong and knowing it.
Peace
It was a lot of fun to watch this years Masters! I really thought Tiger would somehow pull it off, and to beat Jack's record? He'll do it for sure!
ReplyDeleteYour completely write, there is no way that Tiger is done. He played very well, but as you said it was just a little to late. He still has many more wins in him for sure.
