Tiger Woods
2 minutes on Tiger Woods

The man is the best that ever played his sport. I’m not much inclined to call golf a sport, but this man is an athlete if I ever saw one. The best. This doesn’t happen but a couple of times in a generation, if that. We’ve seen Jordan, now we’re seein’ Tiger. THE MAN’S GOT HIS OWN SPORTS DRINK.
He made an old-fogey-playing-plaid-pant-funny-hat-wearing sport popular. Amazing.

There’s not a lot to say about Tiger Woods. He’s the best. Ever. He’s a cold blooded killer, a front runner, an assassin. He’s so good that its news when he loses. He is the next Michael Jordan. I am in awe of him. I feel privileged to be growing up while he plays. I never got the golden years of Jordan. Well I did but not during the years where I could truly appreciate his greatness. He was already the best ever when he entered my consciousness. He’s always been the best in my mind. Tiger Woods is special to me because I get to observe him as he becomes great, solidifies his greatness and proves beyond reasonable doubt that he is the Greatest Of All Time.

Its time for all this talk of Tiger being the "most dominant athlete ever" to stop. The man is good, but he's a golfer, not an athlete. I would like to think the most dominant athlete ever was generally picked first in playground football (or dodgeball, or capture the flag) and I'm not so sure Tiger was. That being said, he is truly something special. Golf just isn't spectator-oriented enough for his excellence to be properly appreciated. And he's married to a super model.

Eddie Jordan

Now I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love Eddie Jordan. It’s a DC native coaching the District’s most successful sports franchise (not counting DC United). That’s how it should be. It’s not about the money, and It’s not about the glory of coaching in the game.
The man is at home, the crowd loves him. Aside from that, he’s the longest tenured coach in the Eastern conference. Do you remember a couple years ago when every coach in the Eastern Conference got fired? Not Eddie.

Eddie Jordan has been something of a savior to the franchise formerly known as the Washington Bullets. He brought us back to the playoffs for the first time in years and we actually won a playoff series for the first time in my living memory. And now we are a consistent playoff threat, although stuck in the second tier in the Leastern Conference. That being said I’ve had my doubts about him. I guess I was getting greedy. I thought our defense was too awful, because apparently he doesn’t know what defense is, and that we weren’t quite as good as we should’ve been. To me that’s a sign of a coaching problem. But this year is different. This year we have overachieved in light of all our injuries. This year I would put him in the talk for coach of the year despite our mediocre record just for making the players believe they could win even in the face mounting injuries.
