One more article I skipped posting from espn page ii by by Ralph Wiley on El Tigre.

Why was Shaq resented, and Tiger wasn't?

"Hmmm. Well, see, most people, most dudes, I'll say, they never had a prayer about playing hoop anyway. Never could really play. But see, the white boys, for one, they know how hard golf is. They know it, they play it, it's theirs, and Tiger made it legit and universal for them. In a strange-ass way, he legitimized it for them. He made it a spectator sport. He made everybody care about it. So he made everybody care about what they care about it. So he's, like, a deity to 'em."

Italy tomorrow...Here we go. Friday eveybody better be watching USA in the AM.
