It's just my take. If it doesnt apply to you then so be it, but it's what I get from quite a few. He's too hyped, eh, i wish someone would beat him already. He only wins because everyone else is lays down whne they play him. That last one, to me, is quite unbelievable. NO ONE has a bigger target on their back. You think Sergio doesnt dream of beating him handily on a Sunday he entered with the lead? I do.

note-Im not the original Lee that saw your subtext. someone left the computer on this page & I poured in my 2.

Why is it you can't say anything negative, however minor, about Woods' domination over his rivals, without someone carping about ...you know.

"I am still trying to figure out who would get bored watching Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel.."

Those longing for Phil to dominate a couple years, then have Chris Dimarco win a couple majors, then get to the Wetterich era. All the while chuckling about the overhyped Tiger Woods.

Almost no one ever justifies the hype anymore, from Wie to LeBRon(in a small sense), from Kanye West to BJ Upton. However, we are lucky enough to have someone DESERVING of the hype, and he's faulted for...winning.

Ah, but if it was Mickleson, Casey, Toms, Furyk, or ANY of them, their dominance would be unchallenged. Lefty wins in a playoff against Cink? aww, that Lefty trying to be suspenseful. Furyk wins 2 of 4 majors? gotta love the era we're in.

Tiger Woods? nah, Im bored. PLEASE someone else beat him so I can have someone I'm more comfortable rooting for.

Well, a bored tiger is never good, but I do not think or even believe for a second Tiger is bored. Every time you step on a golf course something differnt happens, something exciting. I believe Tiger is also on mission he has a family and maybe he is playing in the memory of his father who pushed him so hard to play with all his heart. These things never come to mind when someone keeps winning. They win for a reason and sometimes it not just the money.

No, I don't get bored watching Woods play, or even win all the time.

I get a little frustrated because nobody else seems to have the guts to challenge him.

I'd like to see somebody try to rattle his cage, pull some business on him. Everybody seems scared of him, like they'll make him mad. Well, how much worse can they get beaten?

I am still trying to figure out who would get bored watching Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. You just have to know what you are watching.

As for the Ryder Cup...I think this year will change quite a bit. His dinner with the Ryder Cup rookies on Friday night in Akron showed his passion for making the Ryder Cup his event.

Does his aura beat his competitors? Only they can answer that. But, he still doesn't get enough credit for the quality of player he faces. Els, Mickelson, and Singh all have multiple majors. They aren't scrubs.

ok I get it, YOU are just bored by Tiger winning all the time.

One man's trash is anothers treasure I suppose, because if he starts losing THEN it gets boring for me. I want to watch greatness, I'm not particularly interested in seeing 6 different players win 6 different events. At least when I could have the alternative of witnessing real life history.

Lee, exceedingly well put. You indeed characterized my subtext accurately.
