Jason Day was asked ahead of The Masters whether he has any empathy for what Tiger Woods is going through and he gave a brilliant answer that a lot of people can probably agree with:
“So yeah, in regards to Tiger, it just shows
the human element and the human side of
someone that is struggling with some sort of
an addiction. He's not immune to it just
because he can hit a golf ball really well. He's had 25 to 30 something surgeries, and when you're going through that many procedures, it's painful coming out of those procedures. I've had procedures done and I typically try and stay away from all that stuff because I just know that -- painkillers, there can potentially be a downfall to it.
“Granted, when I look at that, I look at it and go, he's just a human being like everyone else and we have struggles. It's unfortunate, the only thing that I don't understand is that it's a little bit selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm's way, as well.
“But when you're the player that he was and how strong-willed he is, he thinks he can do almost anything, and that's probably why he's probably driving and a little bit under the influence.
“He was my hero -- he's my hero. He was my hero growing up. The reason why I play golf is because of this tournament and Tiger. It's hard to see him go through what he's going through, and especially under the microscope that -- it must be hard to be who he is and have everything, everyone look on, kind of down on him.
“Some people want him to fail. Some people obviously want him to succeed. It's really difficult for me to go through that and watch him, and I know that he's getting the help now, which is good. I'm just hoping he comes out on the other side and is better.”
Well said.

@BarstoolBigCat Maxx Crosby failing a physical and Bam Adebayo scoring 83 wasn’t on my bingo card for today.
PS, thank fuck Crosby isn’t a Raven #abengalsfan
@tony_pike15 If they get it, they’ll be a problem no matter what seed they get. Since the WV loss, Wes Miller is coaching with his butt on fire but it has been working. I haven’t seen UC basketball in my lifetime play at such an offensive clip
You think you’re going thru some shit? Watch Eric Dane give his final words to his kids and the reevaluate how much of a chance you got since you’re still on this planet. God bless
Im gonna defend skyline to the death on this one. When your order food at the counter it’s to go. That is how the restaurant works. There was nothing wrong the attitude of the worker behind the table and she had no way of knowing his expectation was for the food to be dine-in. Also skyline chili is not thick. No one watered it down “intentionally”. The victim mindset here is crazy.
Horrible by the @NAIA. Kid made a mistake and once realized rectified immediately. Making martyrs of 150 of the best kids I know.
Proud of you seniors. Proud of this team. Proud of dad. One of the best Knights teams of all time, would love to have had a chance to prove it in FL.
