Once You Catch Tiger by Tail, It’s Tough to Let Him Loose
Year after year Notre Dame football is great. But it’s not as great as Notre Dame and the media think it is. Notre Dame has a wonderful fight song. But not as wonderful as Notre Dame and the media think it is. I could go on with similar comparisons, but I’ll stop with Tiger Woods.
There is no doubt that this young man will achieve maximum success as a golfer. He already has. But I wager he cannot walk on water.
I used to be a Tiger Woods fan; I still am to a lesser degree. The media have turned me off. This started with the media’s blowing the Fuzzy Zoeller thing out of proportion to that ridiculous headline in today’s [May 26] Times. Since when does the loser get top billing over the winner? When did any golf tournament receive such a prominent headline in the Los Angeles Times? The Colonial in Fort Worth? Get real!
Adlai Stevenson defined a newspaperman as someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and reports the chaff. Who would argue with the accuracy of such a statement?

What probably galls professional golfers the most is when they finally win, the headline reads: “Tiger Woods Loses!”
