So Phil Mickelson took center stage in the Press room to discuss his time away. Anyone remember how it was that he felt so bad and was apologetic for the things that he did and he needed to do some deep soul searching and make himself a better person?

There is no business model that supports getting this return on investment with the age of these players. Anyone that says that this isn’t ‘sports washing’ on the highest scale really doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The Washington Post had an excellent write-up about this which you can read here.

Rich Eisen had a good interview with one of the guys at the press conference from ESPN. Video below.

Also some good commentary from Mr. Lynch is below.

Hope you had an excellent Wednesday.
