Now that the comments have been clarified it all seems to make more sense.
Miller was raving about Tiger on sunday (when doesn't he), so it would seem strange that he would say those things afterward.

Yeah right, like anyone in the Woods' household does their own laundry.

Speaking of Miller, did anyone else notice how many times he commented on Villegas' body? He kept saying, "He's really ripped" and, "look how ripped he is." He was starting to make me wonder...

Everyone should turn up in red one Sunday - that would be a laugh, but how would the TV crews know which one was Tiger?

Miller might do well to let those days stand for themselves. New generations are going to know him more for his trash talk than for what got him there...great golf. A few years ago a whole new generation knew of a guy named "Mr. Coffee". They didn't know (or care) about a 56 game hitting streak. He was just the guy selling coffee. Is JM going to be known as a trash talking Mr. Coffee? Maybe not...if he's constantly reminding people just how darn good he was!

Salmon? Coral?

If Tiger keeps this up, they're going to start calling him Chicken of the Sea! (Behind his back, of course. )

But that will just mess with Jessica Simpson's mind.

Yes he certainly "outredded" Tiger.

Has anyone ever noticed how really good sports figures always say..
I am a loser and can be beaten anytime someone wants to.. If so thats a
new one on me.. Confidence and arrogance are the hallmarks of competive drive and is what makes some players great.. Miller is no exception..

This thread is laughable. Comparing Johnny Miller to Tiger Woods is like trying to compare Kevin Costner to Clint Eastwood.

What has Costner had - 2 good movies? Meanwhile Clint just continues to put out great work year in and year out.

And the essence of greatness is letting your "work" stand for itself. If Johnny Miller feels the need to say he could beat Tiger (or whatever other garbage he's dumping out of his sewer) then that's all you need to know about John-boy. Miller has a constant need for attention. As such he runs his sewer before engaging his brain.

Last I checked Tiger had a drop dead gorgeous wife, a Yacht named "Privacy", a $38 million mansion in Jupiter, and more game then anyone has EVER had in the game of golf. And you won't see Tiger going around waving a flag saying, "I'm the greatest". He doesn't need to. He shows up on Thursday, and commences to letting his game do his talking for him.

I would be extremely surprised if Tiger commented on Miller's ****. I doubt Tiger would even bother giving it the time of day.

Johnny Miller is a has been, washed up wanna be who is over the hill with no game, and continues to live in the past, reveling in his 15 minutes of fame.

As for the comment on people tuning in to hate Miller more. WRONG! I tune in to watch golf. If anything I mute the sound when Miller is in the booth.

There's enough negativity in the world already. Johnny Miller only adds to that. The best thing anyone can do to Johnny Miller is to ignore him. Because some people never grow up.

There is an excellent article on Johnny Miller in the March issue of Golfpunk. Well worth a read. Comparing that article with wazmankg's original post, you believe that what Miller says is true - he wouldn't have been afraind of Tiger during his prime phase, that Tiger is a better overall player.

We don't get to hear him much over here, but broadcasters who really tell it as they see it are always a breath of fresh air.

I like Miller , he speaks with authority after two Major wins , and he says what he believes, and he is able to give logical,informed reasons why he believes it. Not everyone likes it , usually because it's true. In a room full of yes men , he stands his ground.

When he was in his prime, he was able to look anyone, including JAck, in the eye. Jack then was the same as Tiger is now, so players like Miller,Watson, Trevino, Arnie and Jacklin who took Jack on in his prime and won , can say that they would fancy their chances against Tiger,and have the history to suport it.

I'm in no way saying that he was a bad player. Although I have yet to hear any of the other greats through history talk with such an arrogance, even Jack who deserves to the most. He almost sounds jealous to me. I think he's old enough to realize he can't do squat to anyone of the big boys including Tiger anymore, but young enough where he still feels like he needs to talk a big game to not lose any credit. Again I'm not trying to take anything away from the guy, he was a great player. We will talk about him for years to come. But he has and always will be in my book...a schmuck.

If you really listen to Miller regularly it's obvious, to me at least, that he is a huge fan of Tiger's. Miller is simply very frank and honest. He doesn't really have much of an editing mechanism between his brain and mouth. It can be annoying occassionally, but I find it mostly refreshing. He speaks what he believes to be the truth and pulls very few punches whether he's talking about others or himself. I'll take that over the bland aphorisms of a Jim Nantz, for instance, anyday.

I like Miller a lot, but he was WAY too quick a couple of years ago to jump on the Butch Harmon bandwagon and trash Tiger by claiming that he was in denial. Other than that, he's always struck me as a really honest guy and I have absolutely ZERO problem with him calling ANYONE a choker, including Tiger. He calls it like he sees it. If a player chokes in a clutch situation (or even a not so clutch situation), he'll mention it and pretty much every time I am sitting at home thinking the EXACT same thing: "That guy choked." Miller's definitely the very best of all the TV announcers, although I think Gary Koch is really good too.
