No way. I tried right away to sign up under a new user name once the original ban was in place and it wouldn't let me. No way in hell did I create a new user. No way the IP addresses match. You can't do it! Give it a try... have an admin block you and try to sign up under a new name... you can't! If you just don't won't me back then fine, but to make up a reason to ban me is another. What about this JR Lives dude, he probably has no idea what's going on and I don't want to think I'm the reason he can't post here.

I go to read about it. Is it about Tiger? No! It's about Phil. And he lost! So why the hell is the article about Phil?
My question to a lot of people is always: "Why do you like Phil Mickelson?"
I hate Phil. Hate him. With his stupid grin, and stupid play, and stupid dough boy walk....yet, I seem to be in the select few who feel this way about the man.
So I'm just curious and going to ask: Why do you (or people) like Phil?
When I ask I get: "Well he's a nice guy. Good family man".... WTF??!!! How the hell do you know that?
I great article I read (link below) has diffinately helped me deal with this.

Quoted from this article and to help prove my point:
Still, it's a surprise to see someone whose public persona is so cheerful, someone who is so loved by fans, show up on a list of " The Ten Most Hated Athletes ." But that's exactly where Mickelson shows up - at No. 8 - in the most recent issue of GQ magazine.
Here's what the magazine's article says about how Mickelson is viewed by his peers:
> Last August at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol, in New Jersey, a reporter turned to a golfer on the tour and said of Phil Mickelson, "Man, the fans here love Phil.” The golfer replied, “They don’t know him the way we do." It blew our minds a little when we heard this, since Mickelson ranks among the most admired golfers in America. But today the same reporter makes his case bluntly: "Phil Mickelson literally has no friends out there. He annoys everybody." > > Mickelson has earned many nicknames on the Tour, but our favorite is FIGJAM ... "There are a bunch of pros who think he and his whole smiley, happy face are a fraud," another reporter says. "They think he’s preening and insincere." > > FIGJAM! I love it! In case you haven't figured it out it stands for
"Fuck, I’m good—just ask me"

> VJ is the most liked golfer from his peers but most hated man by the public. Why? I hate to say it but is it due to..... ugh...cough cough....(clear throat) race?????

> So if you love Phil (one Jay Mariotti loves the dough boy) I ask you why??? He has to be the dumbest player on the tour with the most talent. I hate him! Why do you love him?

It's unclear to me on why he is a fan favorite. Phil doesn't talk to the media anymore than Vijay. He doesn't. He doesn't do more interviews than Vijay. Only diffence is he walks around with a dough boy stupid ignorant grin on his face while he is facking up on the course because he plays like an idiot. Vijay walks with no facial expression. And I forgot, who do you like again?
