Michael Tomasky on Mitt Romney, the Unlikable Presidential Candidate - The Daily Beast - It’s been a long time since the country elected a man as personally unappealing as Mitt Romney. Will Americans overlook their deeply held conviction that he’s a jerk?
Florida St. may leave ACC for Big 12 - Yardbarker - While chatter about the possibility that Florida St. has been looking to leave the ACC has swirled on message boards and blogs for months, the theories no longer seem so conspiratorial after the head of the school's board of trustees lambasted the conference Saturday and indicated the Seminoles are interested in the Big 12.
The Players Championship: No. 17 hole at Sawgrass like ‘a 3 o’clock appointment for a root canal’ - The Washington Post - But it would be difficult to find a more recognizable patch of grass anywhere in the world of golf than the island green at TPC Sawgrass’s 17th hole, where water sits as a danger front, back, left and right, and where what would seem to be a simple little shot — all of 137 yards on the scorecard — can become frightening. The PGA Tour pros who arrived at the hole Thursday during the first round of the Players Championship likely aren’t aware that annually, 120,000 balls kerplunk into the four feet of water that surrounds the green. -- “That golf hole makes you nervous even when you’re playing a practice round,” said former U.S. Open champ Johnny Miller, who will serve as an analyst this weekend on NBC. “I love nervous holes, and holes that you have to sort of answer to. It’s a fantastic hole.”
