A Workplace Anecdote

How about another ridiculous statement from Tony, the guy at work. This time, he said that Tiger 'lost' in the first round of the HSBC World Match Play on purpose so he could skip the event and get ready for the Ryder Cup. Well, as evidenced by the news article I just posted, we see that Tiger 'prepared' by attending a soccer match. Once again, Tony, the jock, falters while trying to come up with any excuse at all to defend Tiger's bad play.

It was a million- eight US dollars and a tournament Tiger's never won before. He didn't go there to throw the match and leave early. Plus, if he didn't want to play, he could always do what Sergio did - just not compete. And Phil has no problem telling people he's not playing certain events. At least Jim Furyk is taking the Ryder Cup seriously. Even though he lost in the first round of the Matchplay, he went on to the K Club to start practicing.

And just another Tony-ism for you: Because a girl at work said his computer font colors were blue and orange like Syracuse colors, Tony now swears that there are no college football teams with that color scheme. Heaven forbid a mere girl know a sports fact. It infringes upon his masculinity.
