Those sports stars you just can't warm to

<p>Always thought Steve Waugh was a top bloke, but there is a certain section of the Aussie public that think he is aloof or whatever - also top drawer. Complete opposite for his twin.</p>

<p>Steve Waugh was measured, cautious, almost suspicious but a real professional. He had an authority which his players observed and accepted, obviously and readily - when he was ready to depart a function they would seem to know instinctively and follow suit. He was not unpleasant or self absorbed or aloof - just cautious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conversely, Jeff Thomson, who came from the same part of Sydney as the Waughs and Ian Thorpe and Mick, was back then and still is just like any one of your good chinas at the pub on a Friday night. Up for a yarn (about anything, not just cricket), a shout, a joke, another schooner - a happy fella.</p> -

I like almost all sports, but find Golf boring. Mickelson and McIlroy seem to be boring men playing a boring sport.</p>

<p>I certainly don't go out of my way to watch golf but definitely admire anyone good enough to get to the top and I'd imagine a night on the piss with John Daly and Tiger Woods would be a hell of a good time.</p> -
<p>dunno about Tiger, unless he has all his birds hanging out with him...he seems a bit bland IMO, someone posted an article about him a while back, really long, but really good read.</p>

<p>Tiger is anything but bland in the sack from what I've read which I'm sure is why MN5 is keen to get on the piss with him.</p> -

<p>I'm not a fan of Donald Trump to say the least, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I hated his supporters. It's Donald Trump, not me, who judges people on the basis of their impairment, religion, race or nationality. I guess his supporters have their personal reasons for being angry with the liberal elite.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I would humbly suggest if anyone is looking to a small government, fiscally alternative to Hillary Clinton then they are much better off voting for the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in November. Trump's is an entertaining circus act but given the levels of bigotry he has expressed in the last year, he really shouldn't be given the most powerful executive government position in the world. Electing bigots hasn't worked out happily in the past.</p>
