It's a toss up on who knows less about golf... Fishhead or Railbird.

It's a toss up on who knows less about golf... Fishhead or Railbird.
I have the utmost respect for Fishhead...it was funny when he said Tiger might not win another Major...Fishhead knows his sports and is a gentleman 99% of the time...on the other side of the coin is Railbird, the man is full of himself in the sports arena and the political circle...Tennis is his only redeeming venue..I think 50% of his posts are an act, if not then he a stone cold idiot...Rail has been often called out on his facts about golf but has never responded, he is just a Tiger hater..
Im not a Tiger hater I like Tiger. MY points are that his foes are at an all time low right now. Vijay,Couples,DL3,Payne,Mickelson,Goosen,Duval all disappear or on downswing. So he has no real opponets. And he handpicks his courses. Has enoguh pull that the USGA would not even grow penal rough in the 1st or 2nd cuts of rough this week.
Hate to disagree, LOL, but Tiger doesn't handpick his opponents and he has absolutely has nothing to do about course conditions...his main opposition seems to be from the overseas contingent...Tiger is so far ahead of his competition, that he makes them look inferior...relax Rail, when Tiger decides to play Riviera again, then you can have some fun...
His opponents seem to be at an all time low because he's so damn good. In comparison they all suck, but that doesn't mean it's a weak field. Tiger is the best golfer of all time, and in a couple years he will probably be the best athlete of all time altogether. He's up there with Jordan, Ali, and Gretzky, and will most likely pass them all.
I'm not even that huge of a golf guy (although I'm starting to watch more and more of it), but this guy is just special to watch.
Look, at his current pace, TIGER will end up not only cracking my top five of all-time, be he will be #1 by a long, long, long ways. Much in the same regard as Pujols, lets just allow them to play in their prime a few years before we declare then to be better than they actually may be.
At this time, Pujols has not performed long enough to say he is a better right-handed hitter than the Aarons, Mannys, Arods, and F. Robinsons of the world.
In the same regard, not going to say Tiger is better than Jack and few other golfers.........yet. However, he has a way better than average oppurtunity of not only finishing in my personal to three or five of all-time, but being the best ever(by a considerable margin as I stated).
I think a lot us, myself included, don't give credit to many great athletes of the past, although some probably recieve to much also.
As just one example, I would venture to guess that more than a handful who believe Tiger is the greatest of all-time on this forum have very little knowledge of what Sam Snead accomplished in his career.
By the way, even though I may not place Tiger in my top five of all-time right now, I could also certainly make an argument that he is definetly the greatest of all-time.
In closing, no matter the sport, it is very hard to compare athletes that are truly great and declare who is better than the other..........and even tougher when it occurs in different eras.

I cant even wrap my mind around that.
Thats almost like a football team winning 10 straight SUPER BOWLS.
