He writes his article like a love poem to golfer Phil Mickelson, but that's just because Mickelson is ahead (he will win the Masters later on Sunday). Plaschke is actually critical of Tiger Woods today, but we all know that the next time Woods wins a tournament Plaschke will get back down on his knees to greet him. That's just how Plaschke is. He really, really loves a winner.
Jerry Crowe, who seemingly writes his column - "Text messages from press row ..." for mildly retarded people, packed it full of pointless trivia today. At least he is giving an effort for once, although nothing in the column reads like an actual text message.
He says that - "Duke's bashers are more annoying than Duke's fans." That is debatable. Duke's fans (including Dick Vitale and every single member of ESPN's basketball coverage team) are easily the most annoying fans in all of college sports, and they get plenty of air time to annoy us to death.
He ended by writing - "When former porn star and alleged Tiger Woods mistress Joslyn James took the stage at an Atlanta strip club on the opening day of the Masters, she wore a green jacket." Now that sounds like a great text message. Well done, Mr. Crowe!
Mark Heisler, who is the last great writer left at the The Los Angeles Times sports page, compared Kentucky's John Wall to Kobe Bryant in his Coast To Coast article and both Bill Plaschke and Mike Bresnahan got boners by the very suggestion of that. I think that Heisler, like just about everyone else, is overrating Wall and will find that he is a guard tweener in the NBA. But, I hate to question his expertise. He know his basketball. In fact, he once suggested to James Naismith that the game would be better if he removed the bottom of the peach basket, and the rest is history.
