And the metaphorical "competing against oneself" is nice and all, but I'd take that over hitting a slider thrown by a freak like Randy Johnson. Having to juke Ray Lewis, or having to body Kobe Bryant.

Its no more a sport than playing pool, or darts.

And you're using the word metaphorical in the wrong context.

how so?

A metaphor is a comparison without using the words "like" or "as." I wasn't making a comparison of any kind.

LoL. No its not. Well, not just that. Looks like somebody tried to be a smart ass and just went to webster's dictionary and called it a day.

There are mixed, complex, extended, uncommon, conceptual, cognitive metaphors...ext.

Point being is that you cannot compete with oneself the way you do with another physical entity. And what you said is not even true when it comes to golf, because you are competing with other golfers. So "competing with oneself" or whatever becomes a metaphorical or conceptual interpretation of actual "competition". An idea.

Not so much sebstar. I've been a poet since the 7th grade so I know my stuff. Not saying I'm a good poet. Just saying I know the components, and obviously metaphors are some of them, and that's what they are. A comparison, nothing more or less. I wasn't making a comparison.

Bro. Stop. Please stop.

The metaphor you're referring to, a stricter literary kind, is NOT the only metaphor in existence. There is alot of depth to the use of a metaphor.

Have you ever heard of conceptual metaphors?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_metaphor

Yes, I am aware that one can compete against oneself, but is an abstract concept. Its not tangible. Oh and btw, yes you were making a comparison. You were substituting competition with oneself with actual physical competition. In essence you were saying that golf ranked with other sports because when golfers compete with themselves, it favors comparably with other sports where there is a natural form of physical competition.

Actual competition, not theoretical.

good stuff... never heard of a cognitive metaphor before
