Frazz - Comic about Paris-Roubaix

Today's "Frazz" comic was pretty good. Skinny guy is asking the portly
school athletic director if he watched Paris-Roubaix on Sunday. Of course,
the coach only watches "real sports".

Here's the link:

Frazz is not up on this stuff. If you're going to make a savvy tease of
the coach in this case, the coach should have been giving the Masters as
the example of the real sport he was watching.

Prefer ruining good hikes to good walks,

Just for fun, lets take a poll. Who's the better athlete? John Daly or
George Hincapie?

LOL...must be. I think a better way to phrase the question is, Who's the
fitter athlete?

When people say someone is a "better athlete", that's usually
independent of the sport they do. It typically refers to a person's
strength, endurance, quickness, speed, etc, and not how good they
actually are at any given sport. You see it all the time in various
popular sports like football (American), basketball, etc: they'll say
that someone is a great athlete, but needs to polish his/her skills
before they become great at their sport. Or even the other way around:
somebody's not the greatest athlete, but has tremendous skills which
make up for it.

Nope, but I think John Daly would cream Hincapie on any course at any time, even
if Hincapie does have a handicap, which I doubt.

He's one of those fat guys (5' 11", 230 lbs!!) who makes their living by
swinging a stick at a small ball. The "sport" (such as it is), is called
"golf".

FWIW, I've informed my kids and my loved ones that if I ever express an
interest in this "sport" that they should take me out and shoot me
forthwith, because it will be a clear sign of impending dementia.

His ex-wives take most of that. He makes his living selling tacky
autographed golf accessories out of the back of his RV.

He's an overweight golfer on the PGA tour.

He has also had a terrible drinking problem and when he plays bad he
gets extremely upset and falls apart, quits in the middle of the round.
He made his first impact by being a second alternate for a PGA event,
drove there in 12 hours directly to the course, and won about 10 years
ago. He had long drives before Tiger came up with longer drives.

=v= Past appearances of Mr. Hacker (the gym teacher):

Hacker: So, did you catch the big game on TV?
Frazz: No, I was out mountain biking.
Hacker: I thought you were into sports.
Frazz: Sometimes I'm amazed Mr. Hacker can feed and dress
himself.
Caulfield: His socks don't match and he's eating pork rinds
for lunch.

Hacker: Got any big plans for the weekend?
Frazz: Mountain biking.
Hacker: Isn't that rough on the environment?
Frazz: No. Golfing at a huge, new resort build on formerly
pristine lakeshore is rough on the environment.
Hacker: Don't look at me. I use those new spikeless shoes.

Frazz: Mr. Hacker insists bicycling is not a real sport.
Clutch: Well, it doesn't have any of the four Bs.
Frazz: The four Bs?
Clutch: Batting, Bodychecking, Betting and Cheerleaders.
Frazz: Cheerleaders doesn't start with "B."
Clutch: The parts Mr. Hacker watches do.
