    I'll put it in these terms - do you think each of those in your list are as good at being a husband and parent as they are in their chosen field ? And by as good I mean world class not average / normal.

    The last person the media tried to make out as being worlds best on the golf course and off it was Tiger Woods - and we all saw how that ended.

    You are also forgetting about the massive sacrifices these kids parents made to get them to the top - the majority of them would have put their own lives on hold especially wrt tennis, motorcycling, and golf.

    Everyone on your list is or was a selfish khunt and to think otherwise is deluded.
    Bang on the money

    Are we seriously debating this further? Casey Stoner was a world class rider who conquered all there was to win on an "unrideable" Ducati. Not even Rossi has matched this. He then retired from racing and holds down (in my opinion) a very stable family. He still performs testing on GP bikes with better lap times than almost all current riders. During his time as no.1 his family travelled with him. You stated that family only "distracts" you. I'll agree that these families would make massive sacrifices but to say that these individuals did not live up to their potential is having a larf.

    Also, I don't think Dwyane Wade is a good example of a stable family and Casey Stoner hooked up with his team bosses daughter after he'd 'made it', I think Chad Reed is the moto guy you're looking for as an example there.


    But yeah I'm glad the Jets fans are upset their 'most together team in the comp award for the month of July' award will be going to someone else this year.

    Everyone calm down. Michael Jordan was portrayed as a great father in Space Jam.
    OK

    Only used Obama as an example of reaching the "elite" level whilst still holding down a family. Stoner met his wife long after he was no.1

    Also Tiger Woods won 5 titles and Player of the year in 2013, well after his marriage breakup.

    Injury stopped Tiger Woods.

    This is getting more off topic than the last time women were brought into the discussion. OK Dunster I agree. Women are distracting/the devil.

    Or dare I say it.

    and he got replaced by a thrice married self confessed pussy grabber.

    Let's face it, Dominic Torreto is the only bloke left in the world who genuinely values family over success.

    Injecting a life threatening disease into Brown's kid to get him playing better football for the Jets is a bit extreme don't you think ?

    Injecting life threatening diseases into the Jets players to get them to play at a significantly improved level ???

    Maybe that something we should look into pioneering

    Or even the threat of it to get them to pull their finger out may sufflice

    fine by me if Brown is late, as long as his wife isn't, that's where the trouble started last time...

    though with Lawrie talking about offloading players, do you think Brown could be a candidate? for whatever reason he hasn't lived up to the hype so can't be considered value for money going forward (unless he has a huge form improvement this season, bit of a stretch considering last season though),\

    I agree not being assed to make sure you are back in time for the start of preseason isn't exactly showing the new gaffer you're champing at the bit, was kinda hoping that photo of him and Scott Miller having coffee together was due to other negotiations going on TBH...
    Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

    I find this thread's rules of workplace management more disturbing than the Member's rules of sex, as explained in the squad thread.

    If Brown can punch / headbutt a gypo in the opening game all will be forgiven.
