Given the way I ended “Tiger’s Back! But He’s Brown, Not Black” two days ago, I can probably be forgiven for saying, I told you so. For just the second time in his professional career, Woods failed to break 80. The missed cut was just the 13th time worldwide that he failed to qualify for… Read more.
I took a lot of flak for my commentary during the Sydney café siege, where iPINIONS questioned the police response and suggested it would not surprise me if police did most of the killing and injuring. After all, they fired a thousand rounds to kill one lone wolf, when a sniper could have ended it… Read more.
