I totally heart Ed Norton, but he is not nearly as "fancy" as Brad Pitt. Please revert to the Brad Pitt avatar. Or send me my Brad Pitt G-string already.

I'm confused by this "I totally heart somebody" thing. You don't know them, and are pretty much reacting on a visceral, lust-based level, I'm guessing, so shouldn't you say "I totally vagina Ed Norton"?

(Tits!)

I think he got Jimmy the Greek-ed, and deservedly so...

Certainly, but your point is somewhat weakened by the fact that she is admittedly one of the very few women who can (partially) compete with the men in this event.

"Imply"? I thought I was pretty direct! When I want to imply something, bucko, well, you'll know it!

My point is, our desire to build a more fair world notwithstanding, bios trumps ethos, and any attempt to artifically insist on "equality" in large-muscle-group performance is only bound to hurt women more than help them.

Now, if they would play nude, . . .

How is my point weakened? I didn't say she was going to win the fucking thing, but she won't embarrass herself, either. I will, however, make the point that she is likely a better golfer than some of the men on the tour and that is what some of them are really afraid of. Besides, I'm not really taking up the cause of all women by saying she deserves a chance to play, I'm talking about her specifically. I never in any of my posts tried to turn this into a larger boys v. girls thing. I really couldn't care less.

As to your last comment is there such a thing as "Foxy Golf" (like foxy boxing) anywhere?

You could be correct, although it would difficult to design the bumper sticker.

Shit. I misremembered. It was Smoltz. No wonder I couldn't find any confirmation.

This may be the first and last time Carl Pavano is mistaken for John Smoltz. You should send him the url or something.

Generally, women's sports are not as exciting to watch (unless you are there in person, then it's exciting). Tennis is the exception - women's is more exciting to watch than men's because the finesse is greater in the women's game than the men.

Hey, don't forget about women's figure skating. That's what's keeping figure skating on the map.

You must have a different map.

What? Are you saying you prefer men's figure skating? Or that figure skating isn't on the map?

And note to Dualit - it's too, not to.

Based on the male golfers I know, that's a pretty level playing field.

And that's assuming figure skating is a sport -

As long as there is always someone ready to step forward to attempt to tackle the difficult issues as they arise, we will remain free.

I salute you.

Ruben is boring bc he started off amazing and has not had to improve or stand in front of a mirror lip synching while trying not to make facial contortions? Reminds me of something I recently read about Serena Williams. She made winning all four Grand Slam titles look easy.

No, Ruben is boring because he sings the same songs in the same style every week. Watching Kimberley and Clay get better every week is interesting. Watching Ruben get a little worse every week is not. He was pretty lame yesterday. He had phlegm in his throat and he was consistently sharp. I think he could put out a nice CD, but I can't imagine he's have the stamina to tour and put on a live show that will keep people awake for 90 minutes.

I thought it was the leotards, short skirts and flexibility, but that might be just me.
