    She's still a failure to me. Real wins occur at tournaments that don't give cremation urns as trophies. #michellewie

    I've always wondered. "Book Excerpts That Don't Suck" is just code for "Books We've Been Paid to do a Promotion For", right?

    I am actually chatting from a Delta flight to Atlanta. Am I the first Deadspin chatter in the Mile High Club? By the way, Daulerio, I'm sending you a receipt for $9.95.

    Is it not strange that when we view talented athletes with overbearing parents we try to fit them into two categories: Inevitable trainwreck or inevitable champion? Does it seem like there's a tendency to project one or the other onto Michelle?

    @finite_elephant: That's a good point. I don't think either one is inevitable in this case. I think that's part of why people still care.

    Has going to Stanford changed Michelle a lot? I always thought going to college helps some young athletes get out of their shell, but hardens the shell for others. Which is it for her?

    @MidwestCoastBias: Nice handle, first of all. I have the same bias. I think Stanford has definitely helped. She used to spend entire summers on the road, in hotels and rental cars. She got tired by about this time every year. Now I think she's excited to live in both worlds.

    Seeing how this year was a low point for the LPGA - how much pressure do you think Michelle feels about being the "Tiger" of the LPGA - not necessarily in flat-out game, or race/cultural impact - but in being the big must-watch person who will attract non hardcore LPGA fans to briefly pay attention?

    @David Hume: I think the pressure is to win. She's always enjoyed the attention. She actually worried as a child that people would stop watching her.

    @ericadelson: Ahh. Well, with a rash of very good players, but no dominant, dramatic superstar, I'm sure the LPGA brass (such as it is) is dying for her to start chalking up wins and major performances.

    Did you interview any of her classmates at Punahou? Wie comes off as a shit, even by elite school standards.

    What do you think was the intended goal of taking on men before she could consistently beat women? Just a cash/publicity grab, or was there some large idea in mind?

    @Dashiell Bennett: A big part of it was a lack of competition in Hawaii. There really was no challenging junior girls tour to speak of. In order to get any real competition, she had to play against boys. I honestly do not think this was a publicity grab. She talked about playing against men from the time she was 10. Oh, and go Tigers.

    Nakama went on to play on the Asian Tour, made the Hogan Tour back in

    I thought the Hogan Tour was called the n.W.o.?
