What I am about to say may be shocking…
Basketball and baseball are falling by the wayside in this great nation. Not only are they no longer getting the participation they used to revel in, but we are no longer the best at it in the world.

How does he do it? Tiger seems so dominating this year, it is hard to think that winning at Doral would be any kind of entertaining. Tiger wins another one, blah blah blah.
