Andy Roddick To New Friend Phil Mickelson: 'We're Just Like Federer And Woods'

[bluetrain4]

From the Onion:

LOS ANGELES—Despite having a combined 56 fewer career victories, professional tennis player Andy Roddick informed professional golfer Phil Mickelson yesterday during a Make-A-Wish Foundation charity dinner that the two athletes are "just like" professional golfer Tiger Woods and professional tennis player Roger Federer. "He plays golf, you play golf—I'm a professional tennis player, he's a professional tennis player…you have to admit the similarities are striking," Roddick told Mickelson, who vehemently agreed, saying "Yeah, we're totally just like them… The only difference is that they wish they were as cool as us." Woods and Federer were unavailable for comment, as both athletes were reportedly engaged in pleasurable mutual contemplation of the fact that all other people are their physical and mental inferiors, a fact as simple and undeniable as it is immutable.

Man great stuff. Hilarious. If only this were real. LOL!

But Federer and Woods are not similar.

Woods has won all 4 majors, and multiple times each.

Federer? Not with that backhand and all that shanking with that tiny racquet.

Woods has moved on to bigger drivers. Maybe Fed needs to do so too. Or maybe Nadal will always be too much man for him.

Very similar in comparison. Very well thought out.

I love it! And had to laugh because it's such a parody that is serious also. I'm not one who doubts of the Federer & Woods "friendship and mutual admiration" but it's always seemed a bit pretensious (sp) to me and this was just perfect opposite of that.

<3 The Onion.

The Onion is a satirical magazine...and is extremely funny. Andy didn't say any of that. Onion has writers to write all the stuff ..and laugh their way through each work day.


it's also online.


ROTFL Onion ....

Is Nadal too much man for you?

It's an Onion article. Just enjoy it for what it is and try not to over-analyze it.

I don't think Sureshs knows what humor is. Poor guy.

I know about Onion. What you did not get was my use of satire to build on their use of humor. It may be beyond your grasp ....

 

[sureshs]

We will never know, because he has not dared to schedule a match with me.

Or you have a horrible sense of when to use satire.

Oh you would crush him 0 and 0. LOL! :lol: :lol:

 

[sureshs]

No that is not possible.





















I will play only best of 5 matches with him.

 

[Tennis_Monk]

Oh you would crush him 0 and 0. LOL! :lol: :lol:

Actually I beat Nadal 3 ,4, 4. Only problem is it was in a Video Game.
I guess he heard about it. Despite several emails and occassional phone calls, he hasnt responded to my challenge of playing me. I even offered to play him on clay to make it competitive.

The only conclusion i can draw is ....He is scared to play me. If he is scared to play against a 4.25 player like me, fat chance he has against fellow TW forum members. They will smoke him 0,0 and 0.

Yeah, Federer only won 3 majors this year. He needs a new racquet. Shut up.

Actually I'm a 10.0.

Tiger won majors before switching drivers.

I am just trying to help Federer and make him a complete player.
