Official 2013 PGA Tour FEDEX CUP Discussion Thread - Page 89

lol way to get ridiculously defensive for no reason. If people want to post nonstop about Tiger, that's fine. It's a topic on which I tend to lose interest quickly, primarily because it seems to be the same people rehashing the same tired arguments with nobody convincing anyone of anything. Pointless.

I didn't realize that you were monitoring the thread for post count on non-Tiger weeks though, perhaps I'll have to spam the thread with nonsense in hopes of better communicating my interest in the Tour.

Tuq is right we have a Tiger Thread. We have a great tournament coming up in Houston. I am guilty also and will do my best to slam Tiger in the Tiger thread.

If you're confused, I'm sorry. Just keep thinking. You will get it eventually.

Now all I need to find is a picture of a bunch of horses with Blinders on to portray the Tiger Lovers. The ones that scream Get In the Hole on a Par 5 when Tiger tees off

Not unlike your posting. Kudos to everyone for not feeding the troll.

So you can't explain your reasoning. Got it.

This is what you said:

The phrase "hurt him more than help him" means that the position he held previously was better for him than the new position. Or more simply, that 16 > 17.

Would be pretty sick if Jack decided to play this year at Augusta and holed out on 18 for eagle to tie Tiger with the lead, who then hits a worm-burner 80 yards up the fairway on 18 in the final group. Cut to a little while later and Bubba is putting that green jacket on Jack's shoulders, for his 19th major. Jack then looks at Tiger and gives the thumb's down sign while making a fart noise with his lips. Then laughs and declares aloud "someone get me a drink, dammit. I'm Jack ****ing Nicholson!" At which point the crowd bursts into laughter and Verne Lundquist bellows "Yes, sirrrrr!" Tiger is escorted off the premises by none other than Fuzzy Zoeller.

Just to be clear, for everyone that doesn't think Tiger is the GOAT, all we need to look at is a list of major winners to see how you rank golfers careers correct?

1.Jack Nicklaus - 18
2.Tiger Woods - 14
3.Walter Hagen - 11
T4.Ben Hogan - 9
Gary Player - 9
6.Tom Watson - 8
T7.Bobby Jones - 7
Arnold Palmer - 7
Gene Sarazen - 7
Sam Snead - 7
Harry Vardon - 7

And then you settle ties by subjectively determining who is tougher right?

Not only that, but we can calculate just how much better Jack was than Tiger. (18-14)/14=28.57142%

Jack Nicklaus was 28.57142% better than Tiger. It's math.

If that's not BOs top 10(I dont care about what order you put the tied guys in) then I would love to see a stronger argument than Tiger>Jack that would sway him into ranking someone with less majors higher than someone with more.

Notably down the list, Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones

That list is in error, Bobby Jones most definitely has 13.

Context BO. That list clearly is just Majors on tour excluding amateur events where Jones most definitely has 7

Doesn't matter - he's missing the point (as usual) which is that he ranks players based only on majors and so the list should be very close to representative of his thoughts on the order of the best players OAT.

Of course BO won't answer this because answering it will hurt his argument and credibility.

BO doesnt miss points, he just chooses to answer selective questions due to hurting his argument as you said ARC.

Come on BO its not like we arent gonna notice so just get straight to the answer. Avoiding it just makes you look bad

Michael Jordan doesn't have anywhere close to the most championships or points. Can't be GOAT. He's 10th in championships and 3rd in scoring!
