Take a T.O. to remember Nelson

I don't want to blog about Terrell Owens today or any other day for that matter.
Must ... resist ... temptation.
I don't want to waste cyberspace on Owens when I could be writing about the anti-T.O.
Golf legend Byron Nelson died Tuesday at 94.
I want to give him props for being a gentleman as well as a champion.
Think of all the sports records that people say will never be broken.
There's Wilt Chamberlin's 100-point game and Joe DiMaggio’s 51-game hitting streak.
Now put Nelson’s 11 straight tournament victories in 1945 at the top of the list.
He won 18 that year and won 31 of the 54 tournaments he played in from 1944-45. And, ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't as if he was winning these things by putting through a clown's mouth or beneath a windmill.
Rarely is there such a thing as an unbreakable record. Hank Aaron passed Babe Ruth's home run record and padded the total, but he's in danger of getting passed by Barry Bonds. And, eventually, Bonds will likely get passed by another product of the Better Baseball Through Chemistry generation.
There have been a few runs made at DiMaggio's record. And Kobe Bryant could threaten Wilt's single-game scoring mark given his shot-making ability and reluctance to pass.
But Nelson’s 11 straight victories may remain untouchable.
Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer couldn't get there. Tiger Woods won't either.
And that's why Nelson will forever be known as Lord Byron.
