Dealing for the first time with a Mother's Day without a mother. Scotland's Colin Montgomerie isn't good enough any more to qualify for the Masters, so all he can do is sit at home and sob about not getting special consideration. Phil Mickelson and others offer some feedback on what will greet the players and patrons at the Masters Tournament in three weeks. Arnold Palmer might be hip enough to share text messages with Tiger Woods, but the King's biggest influence is sharing old-fashioned values. Remembering a friend who got cheated by cancer and taught everyone who knew him a lesson about how to handle life ... and death ... with grace and dignity. In this business we get to talk to a lot of famous people, but every now and then a brush with greatness becomes something you'll never forget. University of Georgia president Michael Adams, a long-time playoff opponent, has seen enough BCS foolishness to submit a proposal to the NCAA to establish an eight-team postseason playoff in college football. Should there be a playoff? Should it be 4 teams, 8 teams, 10, 12 or 16 teams? Should they go back to the old bowl system? Georgia may deserve a chance to play for the national football title, but it doesn't deserve to play in the BCS Championship game. There are places on the planet where you simply feel more alive, where the world in front of your eyes enriches the soul and makes you think “I’m glad I came here.” Boosters, students and idiots in general have recoiled in drunken horror at the sober request of the university presidents to have the sopho-moron-ic label "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" retired from being the primary reference of the annual rivalry football game in Jacksonville.
I expect Bulldogs and Tigers in particular will bristle at the suggestion that their teams will finish the regular season with the exact same 8-4 records as their hated rivals -the Yellow Jackets and Gamecocks.
Sure, Joe Tereshinski wasn't the sexiest choice in the four-way battle to be Georgia's starting quarterback. But he was the safest choice.
