Well, they did it again. The Daily has printed another pointless article. My comments are directed to the article printed in the June 17 article by Jayadev Athreya entitled “Tiger may be golf’s answer to Michael Jordan.”

I am not clear as to the point of the article. You say what a great player Micheal Jordan is, but that is a pretty trite statement. The article then goes in the direction of how Jordan has dominated basketball unlike anyone else has dominated their sport.

If statisical domination is what your looking at, Jordan is NOT the all time leading scorer, has NOT averaged 50-plus points in any season, and has NEVER lead the league in assists. I am not saying that Jordan is an average basetball player, but as a fan, it is important to never forget how others have laid down the paths for your current players.

Back to the domination thing. As Mr. Wolf stated in Pulp Fiction, “Let’s not start… (well, doing ambiguous things).” Remember, there is no “I” in team. And, by the way, you are right — Favre cannot pass the ball to himself. The same way that Jordan can not inbound the ball to himself.

Then, on a tangent, you talk about how being compared to Jordan (which you are doing to Tiger) is a bad thing, and has ruined the career of Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse has only played one year of his career, and, if there was anything that did ruin his career, it was his punching Hornacek.

I only ask that the article use common sense. Tiger’s career as a pro is only a few months old. Yes, he did win his first pro appearance in a dominating fashion, but using that logic, a baseball player can hit two home runs in his first game as a pro, so does that mean he is going to hit over 300 home runs in a season?

I think that the Daily can do a better job of filling up that 2″x 20″ space of newspaper. Be creative (like talk about the two players that were drafted ahead of Jordan, and where they are right now), be interesting (might as well have titled the article “MMM Duh”), but most of all, do not be banal.
