Not that it really matters, but…/Marty Tirrell
Augusta, Georgia – Eddie Podolak is back and, quite frankly, its a good thing we didn’t have to listen to a game without him. “Pody” was asked why he was jettisoned from the broadcast booth after his Outback Bowl public transgressions and felt it was the gander down a woman’s blouse.

Tiger playing in the first round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play was 3-down through 13. Must be time to wake-up correct? The next four holes – birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle. Ball game.
