Tiger’s knee is bigger news than my entire life

Tiger Woods underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday and this news is huge.
Not only will Woods miss at least a month for recovery, but it hints that he wasn’t 100 percent during The Masters, perhaps the reason why he didn’t win.
The surgery repaired cartilage damage and is the second operation on the same knee that Woods has had in five years.
Woods’ rehab schedule should have him missing The Players Championship, but it’s likely that he’ll play in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
Golf experts are predicting that Woods will come back stronger and better than ever, but as I wrote the other day, will whatever he does really mean that much?
After losing The Masters there is no chance of winning a grand slam which seems like the only big feat Wood has left to accomplish. Since it’s early in the golf season and that goal is already unreachable, who really cares how good Woods is the rest of this season?
Of course I’ll watch him crush the field at the British Open and the rest of the majors and big golf events, but it won’t mean anything, so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
But one thing is for sure, the media sure does. I’ve seen the headline “Woods has knee surgery” everywhere since Tuesday, probably in too many places.
Another thing I’m sick of people talking about is Spy gate. I watch “Mike and Mike in the morning” on ESPN every morning while getting ready to come to work. I enjoy the radio show, made television show and they usually have great guests and good stuff to say. But today was different. Mike Greenberg started to annoy me. He is a big New York Jets fan and his hatred for the New England Patriots has become unprofessional.
His show is watched and listened to by millions, yet he continues to drag out the Patriots Spy gate incident.
He said this morning that fans want to know the truth behind it and that it is still buzzing around the country. He’s wrong.
I haven’t heard anyone mention anything about it except him. The only reason it’s still occasionally talked about is because people like him keep bringing it up.
He said today that he gets e-mails and phone calls from people telling him to let it rest and move on, but he said he wasn’t going to because the ordeal wasn’t over, but he’s wrong. The NFL wants nothing to do with it anymore and they’re trying to end the whole nightmare. But people like Greenberg won’t let it rest.
