A new Tiger Woods book

Per Deadspin.

Guy follos Tiger Woods around for a year and writes a book about it. The guy, Bob Smiley, is a sit-com writer.

Might be worth a look.

 

It's pretty good. While he got unlucky with Tiger missing half the year, he got really lucky that Tiger won that U.S. Open, especially in dramatic fashion. The book would have been about 95 percent less compelling without that.

In a similar way, I used to wonder what would have happened to Friday Night Lights (the book) if Permian would have lost the coin flip at the end of the regular season. Still would have been a decent book, but not nearly what it was.

 

Uh, no.

 

Re the book or Permian?

 

The Tiger book.
The Deadspin excerpts are OK.

Yeah, I can't imagine any scenario where this could be an interesting read.

If the first page contains a little rascals joke and the word "dictate" I might change my mind.

 

Steve Williams getting fired would be a good start [/crossthreading]
