It's starting to get a bit precarious for The Crew, who after a nice run of success has lost three of four, the last of which coming on the Mariners. Let's us be clear: No one should ever bet on Seattle, which is by far, not close the worst situational hitting team ever to take a major league field. The drunkest beer league softball team in the drunkest league in Milwaukee, WI, no question, does a much better job moving runners over and getting them in from third with less than two outs.
One thing before getting to the Super Play of the Day...
Tiger Woods is an even bigger tool than we thought. Showing he has learned less than zero from the sex scandal that laid ruin to his personal life and obliterated his professional dominance two and half years ago, Woods, in lieu of holding a press conference before this week's Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina, instead decided he would answer questions from his fans via web and social media platforms.
The questions -- which were only a slightly more instrusive than, 'What's your favorite color?' and 'Do you like wearing hats? -- only furthered the notion that Woods has sunk to new depths in terms of tone deafness and isolation.
Woods could have come out of the closet between now and Augusta, and the first question from the media upon arriving at his next tournament still would have been, 'Tiger, any thoughts on the multiple hissy fits you threw at the Masters and, relatedly, do have any plans to stop acting like a child on the course?'
Any competent PR team would have had him locked and loaded: 'I'm glad you asked, [insert self important reporter's first name here]. I've had a lot of time to reflect, and it's certainly not the way I want to deport myself on the course, especially at a venue like that. I'm ashamed that I let my emotions get the best of me and I promise to do everything in my power to make sure something like that doesn't happen again. I want to apologize to Augusta National once more and, specifically, to all my fans, who were no doubt disappointed.'
Story quelled, situation neutered.
Instead, dude took the easy way out. In the most spineless, not to mention foolish, route possible, he fielded a bunch of softball questions from his jock sniffing fans.
The American people are a lot things, much of which are bad: Overweight, crude, overweight, mindless, easily distracted, crass and overweight. But, perhaps most of all, they are forgiving beyond anyone's wildest expectation.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, for instance, was indicted on murder and agravated assault for Christ's sake. It's been ten years and no one cares. And when they do, it comes well after he is exulted for his leadership, toughness and, above all, his ability as a football player.
Tiger's greatest sin by constrast was banging a Perkins waitress and more than two years later, he still hasn't been able to revive his flagging image (no thanks to the people who work for him). And it's because he absolutely refuses to come out of his bubble and show even the slightest bit of humanity.
