	Dude, you're a wuss. I guess you have never been in pain before and had to suck it up to finish. Like him or not Tiger sucked it up and done what he had to do I take my hat off to him for what he did.

	I'm sorry, but you still just don't get it. He didn't just play great...with or without injury, what he did in the final 6 holes was inhuman. He was in obvious pain, but the announcers were making a much bigger deal out of that than needed. And then, his put on 18, the announcers were incredulous as to how far left he was lining up his put, and the it just rolls down the drain for the overall lead. Not just playing hurt, but playing hurt to his level, and beyond. You sir, are most definitely a hater...

	And just how often do athletes play with BROKEN bones and TORN muscles? Maybe the occasional offensive lineman MIGHT play with a broken hand. And that is only with it casted so it won't hurt. Tiger's worst reaction with a grimace was after a brilliant approach shot on 18 to set up eagle. Have you ever played golf? You cannot hit accurately when your lead leg is not under you. And I also have not heard Tiger use his knee as an excuse at all. His play has been superb on a brutal course, that has left some of the best players in the world at it's mercy. If your your just throwing out shock value, then so be it. But if this is your real opinion, then go suck a root, you tool.

	If Nancy Kerrigan had Tiger's courage, she would have won gold! I'm not a big Tiger fan, but he's handled the injury in the right way. It's the announcers like Johnny Miller that you just want to MUTE. Johnny basically put this round above Kirk Gibson's homer, Willis Reed's heroics, and Paul Pierce's catastrophic knee injury. Okay- maybe I went one too many. Tiger is playing great, let's just keep the focus on the golf. Everybody hurts, sometimes, and everybody cries..... Sorry, that will be my last REM reference this year.

	If you understand that he is in pain, then how could you make your original statement? People are reacting to your statement that he is only showing pain when he hits bad shots. You make it sound like he is trying to garner up sympathy. That is BS. Tiger can't help what the anouncers are saying in the booth. There job is to create ratings. If you don't like the way the public fawns over Tiger, that's fine. But do not make up some asinine statement as you did previously.

	Bro, knee surgery is no joke man. I was really suprised when he came back as soon as he did. Having had surgery before, I know if you come back to ANY SPORT while you're still in the middle of rehabing any part of your body that was surgically operated on your tough. I would rather have a broken finger than have a bad knee dude. Nobody handles a jacked knee well ( see LaDanian Tomlinson ). I almost think you wrote this to piss people off. For him to be leading The U.S. Open right now on a jacked knee is just proof that he is an infinite number of levels above any other golfer on earth right now. I'm rooting for Tiger more now. Especially now that the guy jokes more and doesn't sound like such a pussy. Did anybody hear him say that hockey was a complete joke about a week ago??
