Ladies and gentlemen, the deepest throat in the history of sports journalism. [sigh] Read yesterday’s rant. Then check this. Tiger is tied for 40th, 18 shots back, but that’s okay. He’s still the story. The only story. We’re assured, further down the screen, that [f]or Tiger, par 72 in Round 3 ranks as progress. Even better, if Patrick Reed wins, it will be
Read moreHey ESPN – WHO’S LEADING THE MASTERS?
As long as Tiger Woods is drawing breath, ESPN is going to have Patrick Reed in witness protection. Patrick Reed can’t catch a break with the Morthership, no matter how good he is.

This is one of the hardest music questions I’ve ever been asked. A few weeks ago my girlfriend asked me this one. And I thought – what a hateful question. Seriously – three? With some effort I might be able to get it down to ten or fifteen. But it was a music question. So I thought. And pondered. And listened
