We have seen a return of classic Tiger this weekend: acting like a petulant jackass on the course and blatantly throwing in the towel when he knows he can't win it.

So, after all the talk about Tiger and Lefty, we're right where we've been the last several majors: lower-profile Americans and a bunch of rando Europeans atop the scoreboard.

Shorter version: American Pie was a funny hit at the time, and then Judd Apatow preceded to take the movie's concept out back and mercilessly beat it within an inch of its life for the following decade.

I don't know if La Russa will like it in LA. I hear Hollywood is chock full of Reds.

I think this is appropriate...

It's understandable why Krzyzewski is always on edge. Given his Polish heritage, I'm sure he gets completely overwhelmed by things very quickly.

Think of it this way: Bob Knight is known for being a legendary coach, yet in the same sentence it's always mentioned that he's an irascible prick. Same goes for Jim Calhoun, or Woody Hayes, or Nick Saban, or any other number of successful coaches. Not so much an asterisk, but Coach K never gets that sort of treatment.
