    "Should Michelle Wie receive a mention when asking LPGA fans to vote for their favorite golfers?"

    Michelle gets enough media attention without the LPGA self promotion.

    Well, the ONLY golfer from the LPGA that people know is Wie, thanks to Nike's endless promotion. Trouble is, they probably know her as "that hawaiian kid." No LPGA player has her own video games, no LPGA player has a hot blond Swedish husband who was a nanny with a swimsuit-posing past, no LPGA player has a learning center, a father named Earl, or a mom named Kultida. Fact is, no LPGA player is painted throughout the world with the same constancy as is Tiger Woods. Can any female player make a cut on the PGA tour? My guess so far is no, as Annika and Michelle have failed to do so. However, Michelle might make it one day, as might a stronger, tougher player to-be-named-later.

    Ron Mon my man too many beers again? Read what you posted one time when you are sober. I can see another lawsuit on the way. :-)

    Wie a hottie at the age of 17? Boy, this is going to open up a can of worms in the already heated battlefield...I can see this becoming extremely personal and racially charged...

    Anyhow, Ochoa did not win one single major, I guess her being named as Athelete of The Year is because of the lack of dominance by any other female atheletes.

    Barry had a similar comment about Michelle Wie's mention as a Sports Illustrated female "looker". "She's 17 and just a kid so how can these models think of her as a hottie?

    I know that men are attracted to young-looking women but this borders on criminal. Sports Illustrated should be embarrassed."

    BTW, Michelle was also one of Time Magazine's 100 People who Shape our World. Category? Heroes and Pioneers.

    Regarding the 17 year old hottie thing, come on of course she's a hottie. So are lots of 17- year-olds. It doesn't mean you should have sex with them, but to say she's not hot because she hasn't passed the magical (legal) threshold of 18 is hypocritical. Isn't it. Or maybe everyone's just become ultra paranoid because of shows like "To Catch a Predator".

    Barry was a tad more miffed about the Michelle Wie "hottie" thing than I was. Michelle Wie was presentably attired in her golf gear (although I wonder if SI looked around for a more revealing pose).

    I wonder how many of the girls shown on those "Girls Gone Wild" videos are under 18 and how many men purchase those videos not caring? Why don't authorities take those individuals to task?
