I am Already Sick of this Tiger Woods 2 Broken Legs Thing

I am already sick of this Tiger Woods playing on 2 broken legs thing. Tiger’s 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines performance is already legendary. I am a little upset about it because of the comparisons. I heard a lot of Radio and TV people saying it was the best athletic performance they had ever seen.

Did I miss something? He was walking around. I did not see him crying. His doctors let him play. I am not being insensitive to handicapped people. I think people are blowing his “Handicap” way out of proportion. At the worst, it hurt some. He could have been on pain killers. Fractures and tears are small injuries. Some people do not even notice they have fractures. They think it is a sprain for weeks at a time. Look at the picture above. Does that look like a guy with two bad legs?

I mean, it is just golf. This is still the same game that we called a “game of skill” before Tiger Woods started knocking down majors left and right. It is the same game.

Please stop throwing around definitive statements the day after a feel good sports story. Do not make idiotic comparisons on national radio air waves or on TV broadcasts. Report the news, and then let it all soak in. Put the moment in its place, and then write about it. I am a huge Tiger fan, but this was not even close to the best athletic performance of all time.
