Either way, I saw the last five holes on TV and that was some awesome, awesome stuff. I will definitely be watching the playoff tomorrow.
G, i know he is "supposed" to say that stuff. its the classy thing to do. but, it ushers in a self-defeatest attitude that, even if behind, you wont hear Tiger say. the best of the best dont EVER admit they may lose. they simply dont say anything. they dont use words like "lucky to be here" or "i knew he'd make it...he's the best in the world." they just say, "we'll see what tomorrow brings" and leave it at that.

all i am saying is that Rocco allowed negatives to enter his mind. whether he was just being polite or has succumbed to defeat, we'll never know. but, the mind is a terribly powerful thing. and self-fulfilling prophecy is very common in sports.

i know Rocco has a one shot lead right now, but i think...barring miracle...this one was over before it began. and, mostly because anyone going up against tiger psychs themself out the night before.

btw, where's your nunchuck av? i miss that dude. it belongs in the "pics that make me lol" thread.
