If Ian Poulter was unable to clear his mind last week while competing against Tiger Woods in the Dubai Desert Classic, he's in for a long, restless season after Eldrick took a playful jab at him during Sunday's post-round interview. You know, the one where he followed up a third-round 73 with a 65 -- including birdies on the final two holes -- to beat Ernie Els by one stroke:
Kidding aside, the point the interviewer was making is a staggering one: the gap between the No. 1 and No. 2 player in the world, is wider than the gap between No. 2 and No. 1000. Well, that's mind-boggling.

The other day I read what Jim Brown said about Tiger Woods. I said Jim Brown needs to get a life. Tiger doesn't hold things against people today that happen 100 years ago. Tiger has moved on to to better things. Jim Brown, you need a wake up call, because this in now 2008 :)

Tiger is the greatest Sportman & Golfer playing the game today. Won the last 6 out of 7 he has played. Golfer,s have the highest Etic's in any sports played today. They start in College & it follows them right on through their life time.

I think the more that the Jim Brown's remarks come up the more we focuse on the negative. Tiger has moved on and we should as well. Let Jim think as he will and we must show him what Tiger showed the world.
