Without him, the Twins are literally a .500 team. You certainly can't say the same about Jeter.<BR/><BR/>(And Federer is more dominant in tennis simply because it's easier to dominate tennis than golf. In tennis, you have to beat one player six or seven times. In golf, you have to beat all 106 players at once.)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764597535956025803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158006239293858302006-09-11T16:23:00.000-04:002006-09-11T16:23:00.000-04:00Ortiz is the MVP with out a doubt anyone who says ...Ortiz is the MVP with out a doubt anyone who says otherwise just hates him cuz hes black.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158005872301106582006-09-11T16:17:00.000-04:002006-09-11T16:17:00.000-04:00Look forward to you bumping Troy Smith for Garrett...Look forward to you bumping Troy Smith for Garrett Wolfe on your Heisman ballot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157999877243628482006-09-11T14:37:00.000-04:002006-09-11T14:37:00.000-04:00putting an ad for a book on a nascar car is a good...putting an ad for a book on a nascar car is a good idea.....if their fans could read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157995205412837432006-09-11T13:20:00.000-04:002006-09-11T13:20:00.000-04:00The panic is on in Detroit, big time.

That's why Dye, Jeter, and Mauer will probably be end up 1, 2, or 3 in some fashion. Ortiz isn't even the MVP of his team. Manny is. If he wasn't such a goofball off the field, he'd probably have a couple of trophies already.<BR/><BR/>Sharapova gets a lot of pub because she's pretty, but also because she's has the reputation of a winner. And having the Nike machine behind her always helps.<BR/><BR/>Federer is too good. If he was an American, there'd be more "best athlete on the planet" talk, because he's just as dominant as Tiger.jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876778835517563797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157989313428856302006-09-11T11:41:00.000-04:002006-09-11T11:41:00.000-04:00I know them, Richard.

I didn't say I dated them. :)<BR/><BR/>I think Sharapova shows a lot of people want to build a moderately attractive female athlete into a drop-dead gorgeous stunner, no matter what the evidence is. <BR/><BR/>It's one of the things that irritated me about Page 2: I, for one, never saw the hotness Shanoff's colleagues insisted on pinning to Jennie Finch. To me, she's an OK-looking woman, but she moved the good people at ESPN.com into throes of ecstasy, for some reason. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, she's another woman who made a mistake posing for the SI Swinsuit Issue.

Sharapova is pretty, but I know women more attractive than her. And she lost some cred in my eyes by posing in the SI Swimsuit Issue: It's very, very hard to look good in bikini when you're surrounded by Brooklyn Decker and Daniela Pestova.<BR/><BR/>But Maria plays good tennis, which is all you could hope for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157986922419799752006-09-11T11:02:00.000-04:002006-09-11T11:02:00.000-04:00As a person who coaches tennis, let me tell you th...As a person who coaches tennis, let me tell you that watching Federer is absolutely unreal. I don't love to watch someone dominate the way he does, but I can't help but root for the guy. He plays the game right, doesn't put himself above the game, and he's just incredibly exciting to watch. His footwork and balance are the best I've ever seen, he never wastes any motion, his forehand might go down as one of the best shots in tennis history, and he actually out-aced Roddick in the finals. He is the best all-around tennis player of all-time already, whether or not he becomes the greatest tennis player of all time remains to be seen.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157986914904641192006-09-11T11:01:00.000-04:002006-09-11T11:01:00.000-04:00Wow, "Buzz" on ESPN stole Dan's topic of Federer v...Wow, "Buzz" on ESPN stole Dan's topic of Federer vs Tiger.

It's all going to come down to the USC game. Win and I think the voters would have a hard time NOT giving it to Quinn. Lose and it's probably more ambiguous.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157978086654818212006-09-11T08:34:00.000-04:002006-09-11T08:34:00.000-04:00First off, gotta correct you about Federer-Tiger. ...First off, gotta correct you about Federer-Tiger.
