Joe Logan has the courage to say about Michelle Wie what everyone else is thinking except ESPN, Wie apologists and chumps. Here’s a few nuggets:
“”It’s not every day that a woman is given the opportunity to play on the greatest tour in the world,” Wie said in a statement. “This is another step in the process of making me a better player.”
Phooey. No, it’s not.
What this is is a blatant marketing ploy by the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open to steal just a little of the limelight from the WGC-Bridgestone.”
Nice, Joe. See everybody? That’s the way to be an observant sportswriter. Here’s another:
“Hadn’t everyone, including Wie, been forced to conclude that her thumbing her nose at the LPGA Tour in favor of the PGA Tour turned out to be a pipe dream? Hadn’t everyone, including Wie, come to conclude that she had suffered enough in her seven failed attempts to make the cut in a PGA Tour event?”
Apparently not her parents, her team, or Michelle. They don’t have a good grip on reality, do they? Here’s Steve Czaban on the same topic:
Overhyped non-phenom forgets easiest rule to remember in golf. Sign your scorecard, Dopey…You needed to see the Golf Channel commentators banter about “where is the blame” for this. Are you kidding? The blame starts and stops with the player. Period. Whatever.”
