Re: OT: ESPN and how it twists things
A couple of weeks ago ESPN was running a banner saying that Jack Nicklaus didn't think Tiger should play in the Masters. I can't remember exacty what it said, but it was something like "Jack Nicklaus doesn't think Tiger should return at the Masters," or something to make it sound as though Nicklaus thought Tiger would sully the game or the great Augusta or something.
The reality was that all he said was that the Masters is a tough event to play cold if you haven't played any other pre-Masters tournaments that year. It really couldn't have been more innocuous, but they tried to paint it as though Jack was worried about Tiger breaking his record or had mad some sort of public morality comment.
