Senior Moment. Fuck You.

Ok. Not many times do I feel compelled to rant and rave about something like this, but this is definitely the exception that disproves the rule.

Yesterday, I watched the British Open Golf Championship. If you were human, you had to have some interest in this. A champion of the past rekindling his glory days and potentially en route to his sixth Claret Jug. It was a cinderella story at the least, and damn good television at the best. And for myself, it had a man who I had followed when I played the game for some time, and someone who I would root for 10 times out of 10, without question.

And even better, the last name of the star performer was not WOODS.

The world had spoken of Tom Watson's age, and although it was a hindrance, in this game, it can also be a strength. I think it was a strength in getting him to the final hole of the British Open with a one shot lead.

What I do not believe, and what I cannot believe is how much audacity the New York Daily News has with their headline on the back page.

"Senior Moment."

Forgive me, media morons, but I would like to see ANY ONE OF YOU step out in to that pressure cooker at 29, 39, 49, 59, or 109 and try and make it to the 72nd hole of a major championship with a chance to win. So he didn't. The fact that he was there is testament enough to how good this golfer is, how much of a competitor he is, and how much of an achievement this is.

To disrespect the game, the man, and the achievement by using a headline that can be misinterpreted so badly is a crime. It's such an egregious crime that I had to say something about it. I challenge anyone who is an athlete to repeat the performance of Tom Watson, with his strengths and weaknesses at your command, and try and make it to the final green with a chance to win a major championship in the twilight of your career.

It's not going to happen.

Watson's achievement yesterday should be respected, celebrated, and appreciated for the sheer magnitude, the damn good television, and the fact that it happened to a humble, genuine, good man for the game of golf. It should not spit upon by imbeciles behind a desk who think that they can score a few headlines by degrading the man because he is an elder statesmen.

The Daily News should be ashamed of themselves.

The ONLY reason why I don't rip it apart right now in front of me is I didn't pay for mine.

I wouldn't give these imbeciles a dime for the bullshit they pulled today.
