Sometimes the lobe that controls coming up with headlines doesn’t work. Sorry.
Nice read about Tiger Woods and Roger Federer still being best buds. Nice, that is, if you’re into reading about two guys who are the absolute best at what they do and then decide that they need to be big buds. It’s almost exactly like Peyton Manning and Kenny Chesney, except that the only thing Chesney is the best in the world at is seeming like a homo with a thing for 6′5″ quarterbacks with laser, rocket arms.
Another link I happen to have handy is to a bonus Weekly 18 by Jason Sobel. Sobel is a very good golf writer at ESPN, and he’s playing the honesty game with this edition.
“Honestly … We should take Phil Mickelson for his word when he says if he had to play Winged Foot’s 18th hole all over again, he’d still hit driver. It was the right play. But until Mickelson admits that it was a mistake trying to play through a tree with his next shot rather than knocking one down the fairway and attempting to get up-and-down, we can still criticize his course management on that fateful hole.”
and
“Honestly … Nick Faldo isn’t just the best color guy in all of golf. He’s the best color guy in all of sports television — a meteoric rise for an announcer who started the gig only last year.”
I agree on both counts. Check out live scoring at the CA Championship at Doral.
