Squaring off against the greatest  
I wish Tiger Woods no ill, but I'm rooting for Rocco Mediate today in the extra playoff round of the U.S. Open. Even with Tiger hurting from his knee surgery, you still have to figure Rocco as the underdog. Can you imagine being practically over the hill (in golf terms), not ever have won a major tournament, and suddenly finding yourself playing one-on-one all day against the greatest player in the history of the game? It's just my opinion, but it seems obvious to me which victory today would be more meaningful to the winner.

I'm a Jeopardy fan, and I remember Ken Jennings making the comment that he felt bad for the people whose one shot at being on the show was against a guy who had played it dozens of times. I wonder if Tiger is feeling any of that?

Ha! Probably not.
