I promised myself last summer that I was not going to write about Brett Favre. I did.
It’s not that I thought I’d want to write about Brett Favre. The only other time I even sort-of wrote about him wasn’t really about him; it was about ESPN’s media stalk-gala into his every inaction after he asked Roger Goodell for reinstatement papers but did not sign them last summer. And I was happy that I did not care.
But now? Now I care. Because now it’s personal.
I understand the rules are there for a reason, but sometimes the rules should be broken.
Like, for instance, when breaking the rules gives us what everyone wants to see.
Alright, Y.E. Yang probably doesn’t want the rules changed, and nothing against him, but there’s probably only a few dozen people outside of South Korea who does not want to see Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington paired together Sunday. And I’d bet that most of those other people are fellow golfers who would rather Tiger was home so that they could possibly win this tournament.
