Bonds vs. Woods

[InchoateHand]

I really expected your response to be both at the same time.

man i am dense, sorry for the let down...just sucked out with Queens against Aces and the guy was pissed so of course i needled him a little bit and was distracted from the threads.

oh and sorry for the XXXXX content.

With regards to who is the more dominating athlete, a good argument could be made for both.

For who I will remember more fondly, that's a joke. I don't even like golf, but I still watch Tiger on sundays.

This might not be even close, but I thought it was a bit interesting.

In 2040, whether you're a father, a grandfather, or other, whom are you talking to your kids about (reminiscing about) more?

I voted Woods, based on the assumption that he would eventually become "the greatest golfer, ever". However, if he retires by age 35, short of Nicklaus' career major record, AND Bonds goes on a steroid-induced nine-state killing spree followed by his head enlarging in prison to a size sufficient to knock the Earth of its current axis, I would like to change my vote.*

I voted Bonds. I know Woods will be the runaway winner here, but I'll go Bonds. 35 years from now, baseball will still be America's pasttime and will have the richest history of all sports (do to media, statistics, documenations, etc.). In addition, Bonds (love him, hate him, whatever) has done the most amazing things I have or will ever see on the baseball field. Time has treated other "unliked" superstars well (Cobb, Williams, Maris, etc.). I think the same will be said for Bonds.

Well the "reminiscing about" part was bad. It's not really about who you would remember more fondly. Just for pure entertainment/sport value. Don't turn this into a steroid debate [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

In that case, what about Woods vs. Jordan? Does Jordan win that easily?

["spaceman"Bryce]

I voted Tiger Woods.That is all.

When my grandkids ask me about Bonds, they will get an introduction into 'adult language'.

As in, "Barry Bonds was so [censored] sweet that any [censored] who ever talked [censored] about him were giant sacks of [censored]?" Yeah, me too.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to come up with better things than either of these to bore my grandchildren with. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
