TIU OUTTAKES: Missed Cuts Happen

Tiger Woods missed the cut today (yes, I’m publishing this before he’s done) at the Quail Hollow Championship. He played utterly atrocious, and deserves to be going back home. But before people say Tiger’s done, consider this. Coming into this week Tiger missed 5 cuts in 240 career starts. Looking at the current consecutive cut [...]

PGA TOUR: Use Shot Tracker

Tiger playing in the first regular event of the PGA Tour season gives me a chance to remind you that you should check out PGA Tour Shot Tracker.

GOLF: Terry Gannon Joins Golf Channel; Player Meeting

Terry Gannon, most recently of ESPN and ABC has been added by Golf Channel as a PGA Tour and LPGA Tour play-by-play man. This now, by my count, gives the Golf Channel 4 main P-B-P voices for American golf broadcasts: Kelly Tilghman, Rich Lerner, Brian Hammonds, and Gannon. It’s a good hire for GC. Speaking [...]

PGA TOUR: CBS, NBC, Golf Channel and ESPN’s Golf Music Part 5

We have an answer! Post-Masters I asked if anyone knew the name of the uplifting, inspirational, full band song CBS played a ton during those two great days of golf. Well through some hard work by my new friend Eric Spiess, I have now figured out that it’s called “Thrill of Victory” by E.S. Posthumus, [...]

NEW YORK JETS: Leon’s Gone

You all know by now, Leon Washington is no longer a Jet. At first I was mad, and very sad. But I’ll trust Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum when he says: “It would’ve been very, very, very difficult to re-sign him at the end of this year,” Tannenbaum said. … Obviously, Washington’s physical condition factored into [...]
