Dear Mr. Rick Reilly,
Although most of your articles are spot-on and you are heralded as being one of the best sports writers around, your recent article you wrote for ESPN.com had a minor flaw in that you had a glaring logical fallacy present. While examining whether, professional golfer, Tiger Woods has lost a step in his golf game it seemed as if you subjected your writing to both a hasty generalization and joining the bandwagon. Although it is true that Tiger Woods is not playing golf like he used to, he did just finish rehabbing his leg and has just started playing PGA sponsered events again. It seemed like you were jumping to a conclusion that he might not ever break the records that he was projected to shatter early in his career even though there has not been nearly enough time to judge Tiger's future in the sport. In your article I also noticed that you were somewhat going along with what many reporters have been predicting: that Tiger Woods might not ever be what he used to be. He is still a young athlete who has never been in better physical shape in his life, both strength and endurance wise. These reporters that are making these accusations have no evidential support to back their statements, and you are seeming to blindly examine this even though there is really no reason to except that it will catch the eye of the common ESPN.com reader. Even though this article is very interesting and for the most part done very successfully, I just found a few problems with some fallacies that you might want to consider for future writings. I have a great respect for you as a writer, for you deviate away from what every other sportswriter writes about and you take it to the heart. Thank you.
