Congratulations, Tiger!

I was probably five pounds lighter in May. Damn family reunion.

 

East Coasters: Did you get this into Tuesday's paper?

 

Situations aren't as similar as you think. Tiger's been to majors and won them before. The Cavs had never been to the Finals. Tiger doesn't have an entire organization depending on him. Lebron did.

And again, the whole first child vs. second child thing.

And you weren't who I was calling a sanctimonious jackass. That'd be left over from the thread about what LeBron said.

 

Good point about LeBron's first Finals. That probably would make a difference.

 

Hypothetical question:

You are a PGA professional

You are on No.12 on Monday of the U.S. Open going for your first major

Your pager goes off

Mama's water just broke

Finish the round or hop on a plane?

 

Depends.
How far am I from home? Am I getting tubthumped or is it close? How does my not finishing affect my tour status and prize money?

But in all likelihood, someone else would have the pager and momma-to-be would leave instructions on when to call. Momma-to-be knows the difference between waiting nd come home now could mean $500k or more.

 

If you go home, you perhaps become one of the most famous athletes ever.

 

Home is California.....you're playing in Texas.

You're 3 up with 7 holes to play.

First prize........$1.3 million

Second prize......$780,000

 

So if Tiger is a Cablanasian, what is Sam Woods?

Cablaswesian? Cablanasish?

 

My ass is home in a heartbeat. Hand the clubs to the caddy, put on some tennis shoes and get to haulin' it to the airport.

 

If she gave birth early on Saturday morning, she almost certainly was in labor during Tiger's round. I wonder what he knew while he was playing. And why did he stick around to talk to the press about his round?

 

Not sure... Obviously, my wife and I have discussed this before teeing off for the round. And I would be willing to bet, in the scenario, she's given instructions for no one to page me until the round is over. then haul your ass home...
