Rick Ankiel!?

If people watched actual football, this would be a Cristiano Ronaldo landslide right now. Dude's a machine.

Well, the world can keep it. I've just never been able to get into soccer.

I have allowed myself to watch some clips of Cristiano on YouTube. Yeah, he's pretty good.

Simple solution, don't watch MLS.

BTW for those talking about Tiger being the most dominating ever. Yes, there's a point to that but Tiger's competition isn't nearly at the level of what Jack Nicklaus had to face throughout his career. Jack started off as Palmer's upstart rival then had guys like Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Tom Watson, etc etc. Those guys could give Nicklaus fits and when Nicklaus had a dry spell of what, 8-9 years without winning a major it wasn't necessarily because he was "slumping" but rather because the competition was so great.

Tiger has only had Vijay Singh and Mickelson for a short while. Let's also not forget to mention how everyone said Sergio Garcia was going to be Tiger's rival for a decade....Well Sergio imploded and is only a so-so golfer.

The competition level was a LOT higher in Nicklaus' day IMO.
