. Plus, I'm surprised that Tiger did something so dumb as to continue to play on his bum knee. If there's one thing that's defined his career it's that he's been the smartest guy out there.

I wouldn't call it stupid. He said that he thought about withdrawing, but the fans were so receptive and he couldn't just leave them , but the real reason had to be that he really wanted to win. And he did. It's all that matters to him. Okay, amybe a little stupid, but more stubborn than anything.

That's the only real sad commentary on Golf these days (besides the outrageous greens fees being charge by a few local courses) - one guy goes on the shelf, and no one is able to truly capitalize. I'm not sure if it's that because the injured player is that good, or that the competition is just not there to make it happen. Vijay and Harrington are the only ones who seem to be getting the job done on a somewhat consistent basis - is this really the way it is?

Talk about a competitive gap...

How does this compare to the Nicklaus / Palmer days?

So here's what I'm thinking of doing...assuming all the people didn't subscribe to this forum, I'll be private messaging all these premature ejaculating "paddy harrington" bandwagon jumpers 'I TOLD YOU SO'! A guy wins a couple tournaments and all of a sudden he's Gods greatest gift to golf???!!??!??!?!?!?

C'mon people. Let me guess...after last week all you people thought Vijay was gonna "eat Tigers lunch" next season...blah blah blah. Tiger may never be the same, but Padraigs days of the sun shining on a dogs ass is over.

Padraig sure is "nasty".

So he won two tournaments back to back, one The Open Championship, which he in fact won two years in a row, a feat that has occured only sixteen times in the history of golf, and not for any European player since James Braid in 1905-06. And, oh, that other tournament was the PGA Championship. Sounds like a real hacker. Add to that he's a class act and has a real college education, and you're right, it's a wonder anyone would get behind Harrington.

Sorry buddy, although I understand your opinion, this post was over the line and I found it offensive. Paddy didn't live up to all the hype for the Fedex Cup playoffs, but no-one is really sure why. Maybe to him, winning 10 mil really isn't what the game is all about.

Don't demean a proven champion caliber player just to satisfy your own need for self affirmation on an internet forum.

No link on YouTube or anything, but according to the Golf Channel schedule, there are two Playing Lessons with Harrington coming up this Fri, 9/19, from 8:30-9:30 am. I assume the one I saw was one of those. It was shot at a course in Ireland, and as always, he came across as a really great guy.

are you serious? this guy won't touch Tiger. Pad won because he was going against Sergio. If Sergio doesn't hit a ball directly into the water, they are atleast in a playoff. Once again, Sergio handed this away.

The stupidity of this comment beggars belief

He played the PGA. He didn't qualify for The Masters or The U.S. Open.

Oh, ok. I thought it might have been something like that.

I could also point out that he missed two cuts in a row at his recent "playoff" appearances and failed to qualify for the Tour Championship.

Bah! Playoff shmayoff.

Nobody cares about those (I know I've never watched a round of it). He's just saving himself for the RC...XD
And Perry hasn't exactly torn the playoffs apart either. What is he? 13th?

Kenny made the cut, at least, and will be in the Tour Championship. More than one can say for ol' Paddy.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
