Re: what a shmuck Holley is

[Theresa Lee <tjoyce@mit.edu>]

Agreed!! Poor Antoine....if Holley is trying to help, then he's doing
'Toine no favors. I love the part where Antoine wants to be just like Mo
Vaughn...what's that? Fat and rolling his truck over on the way back from
the Foxy Lady? And the other part about, "it's a business, but do they have
to keep mentioning trading me?" Sorry whining athlete....does MY boss have
to keep making me do the hard work? Geesh! 

It was a stupid piece of writing by someone who has no objectivity about
this athlete...he should be barred from writing about Antoine in the
future. He also has been putting out some Tiger articles and one gets the
clear sense that Holley is very new to the game of golf and wouldn't give a
care if it weren't for Tiger. He has no sense for the game itself...he
regurgitates what he reads from other columnists who know the game. UGH!

What about the picture of Antoine? He's not exactly cut. He looks a lot
like Malcolm Jamal-Warner (Theo on the Cosby show)....soft and round. I
guess that answers the question about his conditioning. He ate a too few
many 4am breakfasts this summer I guess. 

Holley....hoooey!
