Woods vs. Federer
Everywhere you looked today, there was someone comparing Tiger Woods and Roger Federer. Comparisons in sport are always difficult and in the end are nothing more than water-cooler fodder because you can’t really compare professionals from two completely different sports. However, I will say that number of competitors Woods has to beat in any given tournament far exceeds the number of opponents Federer has to beat.
And assuming the top 10 are in the field for a PGA event, Tiger (or the winner) has to beat them all, for four days before he can claim victory. Granted, tennis is more physically demanding than golf (by an order of magnitude for sure), but the comparison would be more realistic if Federer had to play all 15 players during the tournament before he was crowned the winner. And with all due respect to Federer, Bjorn Borg was probably the all-around better player.
On a completely different note, my heart goes out to the owners/family of Barbaro. I don’t even call myself a casual horse-racing fan because I only watch the Kentucky Derby, and then the Preakness to see if the Kentucky Derby winner can win the 2nd-jewel in the Triple Crown. However, like millions of others this year, I watched Barbaro’s tragic accident at the Preakness and then followed his progess all year. And like many others, I thought in December he had a excellent chance of making it (despite the horrible odds), but it wasn’t meant to be. Why did Barbaro touch me, and so many others? R.I.P. Barbaro.
