    "on-field success and off-field buzz"
    What the heck is off-field buzz? Maybe pacman should have been in this contest. He has had more on field success than Leinart and certainly produced more off-field buzz.

    I don't understand how Shaq could possibly be "now". Anyway, I think Vince falls under the who's next category. I doubt he even beats Sharapova, even though he probably should, because ESPN loves her. Even if he does, he won't get past Brady or Federer, and he really shouldn't.

    go to any spot in the world and shout Tiger Woods' name out, people will know who you are talking about, go to any spot in the world and shout Vince Young, Peyton, or any other candidate, no one will give a ****.

    Is that right? Anywhere in the world people know Tiger?
    I didn't realize the PGA was worldwide.
    In his prime, people all over the world knew of Muhammed Ali,
    but the PGA?
    I don't think people all over the world knew who Arnold Palmer was in his prime.
    What has changed?

    Yes Tiger Woods is worldwide.

    He is bigger than the PGA. Tiger Woods is synonymous with golf. When people think famous golfer, they think Tiger Woods.

    Woods is probably the most marketable name since Jordan.

    I think in order to be marketable you have to have:
    1. A sport more than 10 people watch.
    2. A personality.

    Unfortunately for Tiger, he has neither. While he might be the most dominant player ever in a sport - nobody really cares. He has very little marketability due to being a nerd and golf not being very "hip" among people under the age of 65.
    Not going to see Tiger doing very many commercials or selling things. Oh! Other than those Buicks! lmao

    He earns the most money of any current athlete and it certainly isn't from winning all the time.
