Vinnie Jones plays a poofter sport doesn't he? "Football" as you say out there?
How many fighting majors does he have, how many pepole has he KOed in one blow? How many jaws has he broken? People want to know."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Golf is the toughest mental sport? How do you figure?
The pacing is pathetically slow, is that why it's tough...?
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final is assuredly tougher...mentally and absolutely physically."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Marion Barber is so cool.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
"Hating America is something best left to Mobius. He is an expert Yank hater.
He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

Fact- To be a great golfer you have to be a good putter. To be a good putter you have to be able to remember tons of minute breaks in every green you play on.
Fact- Unlike wussy team sports and 1v1 sports there is nobody to blame when you blow your lead on the last hole of a major. Countless golfers play well until the 18th when suddenly they hit slice or duck hook and lose the championship they have been leading for 71 holes in one hole. See Phil Mickelson
Fact- The only thing mental about Hockey is picking which set of dentures to put in before the game.Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. -Homer

Yeah, there's nothing mentally tough in hockey at all. No stress at all.
It's not like the intense atmosphere of a golf course that really takes mental fortitude to survive in."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Is this a joke?
The fact that no one else depends on you doesn't make it more mentally tough.

See other hockey players fell the same way as I do.
Sure it's a sport,'' says former NHL superstar and scratch golfer Brett Hull. "People don't understand what it takes to be an elite athlete in any sport. To me the mental preparation and toughness in golf blows away what it takes in any sport. Just because golfers don't wear running shoes and don't run down the fairway doesn't mean they aren't athletes.''Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. -Homer
