[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 130407"] I was talking about his effect on the US Ryder cup team. You're playing down the immense effort that the European team makes every Ryder Cup to come out and win it. I've been checking the online coverage on BBC online (listening to Test Match Special) and on the live update they keep pointing out that "Tiger Woods is making a serious challenge after moving to one under" several times today. You're being silly now. I meant have a guy watching him, analyising every movement when really there isn't allot of point because it is simply overkill. It is simply someone in the productin department saying "hey, he is pretty popular, get someone to follow his every move and report back every now and then to the main commentators" and that is simply silly. The public are most interested in 1) who is leading the championship, 2) who has the best chance of challenging said leaders and 3) what are the Brits up to? You're confusing what the production team [i]think[/i] the public wants and what the public actually wants. Oh shush, its not silly at all. Allot of the other golfers try and do their best to appreciate the applause when they finish a hole or a shot and still manage to concentrate on the game. Woods however just walks on as if someone has just slapped him in the face with a kipper. And actually, you see allot of Rugby players and Cricket players smile, laugh and joke in the middle of an international or a test match because it eases the tension. Michael Vaughn and co in England definitely, even when down 300 in the Ashes because it keeps the spirits up. At the end of the day, I appreciate that Woods is a very high calbre player and brings in allot of money, but the man is just that at the end of the day: a man. He is fallible, he has faults just like everyone else, he makes mistakes and he shouldn't deserve special treatment because of that. You're just a little too sensitive to when someone pipes up with a detracting point or two with Woods, especially about him looking so depressed and grumpy. [/QUOTE]
