Damnit. At least I went with what one of the contestants went with first (she fixed it). That makes me feel slightly better.

It just seemed preor...

I've always maintained that Tiger ruined his game when he got all jacked up. He grew up as a long, skinny kid with a huge, fluid swing. There was no need to develop a 300 pound-pressing physique. Sure, he couldn't have that young kid swing forever, but he could have dialed that back without turning ...

Re: Since the other threads are unreadable...Carroll and/or

In fairness, the play very nearly worked. The dude was open, but Wilson was a second late. And that was a hell of a break on the pass by the DB.

Still, a run by Lynch or a rollout by Wilson would have made more sense to me.
