Tiger Woods wins British Open. Golfing survey

iamnottigerwoods · Jul 15, 2006

What are some great questions to ask Tiger Woods that he hasn't heard everyday?

Is Tiger back?

I play golf 4 to 6 times a week, played in Scotland, played Beth Page, played out West, up East, but Tiger is a natural and I doubt I'll be that good ever on the course.

Which golf tournaments are your favorites to play on media days?

Someone with two posts starting a DMN-bash thread without the balls to mention the DMN in the subject line.

That said, he's partially right. The DMN has (had?) a top-notch sports copy desk.

i'm new on the message board. I don't know the protocols of Sportsjournalists. My point is that DMN's SportsDay has one of the strongest copy desks in the country and will for a few more nights. SportsDay has some excellent beat writers. SportsDay has some good designers. Had. My point is if you have an opening this year you headhunters ought to go down to Dallas, damn the Wright amendment and hire one or two from SportsDay. They have a diverse team of veterans from the best journalism schools and from papers around the country. When I wrote there, they were the among best editors I have worked with in the country, and I have written on both coasts and in the Midwest. That's the whole point. If your newspaper needs a spark to make it better, inject one of those great headline writers, beat writers or designers from Dallas. If you don't know the subject, it is DMN. Now, I really have to get back to my golf game. I'm not a headhunter. You guys get down to Dallas and Texas as quick as you can. Drive friendly. And let's have a moment of silence for SportsDay because it is getting close down there to when those management types start firing some damn good Texans. Remember the Alamo! Remember SportsDay! Viva Ole! ;D

You are not Tiger Woods, but you DO work on the DMN copy desk. That much is clear.

And he apparently hasn't had any nibbles after sending his resume out.
