Boy, I love the updates... but I DO hate their agendas.
Tiger Woods hasn't won JACK in a while and after 2 rounds of the 2012 Masters, he stood at 40th place, 8 strokes back (I believe).
Here he is yesterday in all his glory:

YET.... who does ESPN keep fantasizing about as other, BETTER players perform/ play superior golf? Tiger. I'm watching ESPN this morning and they break from the regular broadcast to announce that Tiger is now +1 after birdies on hole 3 & 4 in Round 3. GUYS! The reason no one cares about golf when Tiger isn't there is BECAUSE you (ESPN) don't cover the EVENT. You cover the personalities. And because you spent so many years covering Tigers' EVERY MOVE------you don't know HOW to cover these events that were classic LONG BEFORE Tiger was born. Now Tiger is just a 'good' golfer, you don't know what to do with yourselves. You cover him ad nauseum no matter what he's doing. How about a little more on Co-Leader Fred Couples who is the oldest leader of the Masters after 36 holes?
Sean:
Another obsession ESPN has is with the Williams sisters in tennis.
You are a sports NEWS company. REPORT sports news objectively, PLEASE!
Yesterday, reigning U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur beat Venus Williams at the Family Circle Cup.
The second-seeded Stosur won five of the last six games for a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory in the quarterfinals. Stosur now has a chance at knocking out both Williams sisters on consecutive days when she meets Serena in Saturday's semifinals.
Stosur had never beaten Venus Williams before, she's had success against Serena. Stosur beat her to win the U.S. Open title last September and won their only match on clay in the 2010 French Open quarters.
YET, when they show highlights of the match------you'd SWEAR Venus won. Two-thirds of the action clips were VENUS scoring. The final clip was of VENUS waving to the crowd. FOUR clips. THREE were of Venus. Stosur is the better player. Stosur WON. She's the 2-seed who won the US Open. I want MORE coverage of how STOSUR won the match.
Shame on you, ESPN.

Tiger Woods is a scumbag with declining skills. Period. Karma is at work. Just read a story about how his disabled half brother is going to lose his home because he can't afford his health care AND keep his house. And we already knew his family values were a bit lacking, didn't we?

I can't get enough of the clip of him kicking his club like a baby. I LOL every time. Yet you know frontrunners like Colin Cowherd (another ESPN lackey) and personal fluffer Jim Nance are praying he wins. I'll take the field, thank you. From a fan's standpoint and a human standpoint and a bettor's standpoint. ;)
As for his family member in need-------I just don't know how you don't reach out.

Ha Ha.... Tiger is +3 after 3 Rounds at the Masters... and snuggle-buddy Jim Nance (who tries to be friends with these athletes well past what is professionally appropriate as a commentator) asked Nick Faldo 'what about Tiger's game'?
Faldo's response was classic.
'He HAS no game'...
They are playing the 3rd Round at the Master's today and they open CBS's coverage with talk of TIGER WOODS!! He's in 40th place. It's a JOKE. But that's JIM NANCE who apparently thinks he's Tiger's bromance.
If only Faldo had followed that line up with a full, hot diaper stuffed in Nances' mouth and a skull crack with a 2-iron. Oooops. Did I say that out loud?? >:D
