tiger has definately put on some muscle sense he started which has resulted in a trend which many young golfers now follow by lifting weights and staying in shape. You hear stories of high school golfers going to college and puting on 20 more pounds to start playing. But, with how the game is now played, hit it far as you can and go find it, the muscle definately helps. That being said, there are still plenty of quality golfers who are, well, not what one would call "in shape" which is fine. All that matters is getting it in the hole.

true, but its harder to keep up with the big boys when you get older. Going sideways? I have to ask are you talking about his driver, or his actually play lately?

TAB: The British Open is exciting.
Michael Vick is boring.
Barry Bonds is boring.
Any more questions?
George: The weather is supposed to turn rank over the weekend. Tiger may drive one out of Scotland.

Michael Vick is a glorified wishbone quarterback made popular by boneheads like Joe Theisman on ESPN. He has never been able to pass the hat, say nothing of the football. If all he did was own property on which dogs were slaughtered, get him out of here.

At the very least, Barry Bonds is a sourpuss. Get him out of here.

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN is a loud-mouth. Get him out of here.

Here's something that can stay, Missouri football. You see the Big 12 media stole my sleeper pick and tabbed Mo over Nebraska!

Missouri is no sleeper pick. Most people would have them 2nd behind Nebraska, if not at the top. They only return 5 starters on defense...but that could be a good thing! Daniels is the best returning QB in the Big 12, and he has 9 returning starters on offense. The Tigers get NU at home...so they are the pick.

Here's how BAD the Big 12 North is...Baylor went 3-0 against them last season!! Fact: If Missouri's QB Daniels goes down to injury, and NU's new QB doesn't pan out, then you can officially throw a dart to pick the north division champ. As usual, the Big 12 Title goes thru Dallas in early October.

Early lines (my lines) and predictions: 1. Georgia (-15) over OSU. Prediction: OSU will have one of the best offenses in the land. With Georgia only returning 4 starters on defense, the Cowboys lose by only 7 in a high scoring game.

Oklahoma (-10) over Miami, Fl. Prediction: This has got barnburner written all over it. Miami, while down and with a new coach, returns 16 starters. Unlike most early visitors to Norman, the 'Canes will not be at a big talent disadvantage. This is the game that will test the new OU signal caller. I figure the OU coaches will try to run at the 'Canes after mauling North Texas in week 1...but that will not be easy against this defense. If the OU QB doesn't play well here...along with the OU pass defense...it could be an upset. I'll say OU by 8.

Gene...if you are referring to me when you say "some of your readers need to get a life"...then take a hike. It was the picker who opened the football topic in the last sentence of an earlier message ON THIS BLOG.

You see, this is America...where one can basically say/type what one wants to, inside the law of course.

Don't be so freakin' sensative. And BTW...I play/watch a little golf myself, but just chose not to respond to this topic.

You jab...and I'll jab back my friend...

Thanks for the input Ben...

Really, the "tough guy behind the computer" is the one who fired the first shot.
