If this is an indication of a “great weekly column”, then standards are kind of low.

Who DIDN’T know that Anthony Kim doesn’t follow golf…or baseball for that matter ? These questions have popped up fairly regularly over the last couple of years and his answers are pretty standard. If it’s not his favorite NBA team, or the NFL, he just doesn’t follow it very closely – INCLUDING GOLF.

So the question SHOULD be – “Mr Lawrenson, where have YOU been the last TWO YEARS of Anthony Kim’s career ?” The captaincy of the Ryder Cup doesn’t matter until August of 2010 when the captain’s picks are made.

I love these attempts to make ignorance on the part of professional athletes seem like the players themselves are total morons. So AK doesn’t follow golf like a fan does. So what?

They roasted Donovan McNabb because he didn’t realize that an NFL game could end in a tie. At least you could argue that it’s a rule and it affects the was a game is actually played. What difference does it make if AK knows who the European Ryder Cup captain is?

I said the same thing when the topic came up of him not knowing how many majors Tiger has won. He knows the most important thing. That is, it’s a lot of them. Knowing these things is in no way going to change the way he prepares or how he approaches a tournament or round.

He’s not a fan. Big deal. It’s amazing that it warrants space in someone’s column.

if someone asked Freddie Couples who Europe’s Ryder Cup captain was, he would have stated, “I do not know and I do not care” and everyone would have laughed. AK doesn’t have to live and breathe this stuff, that’s what they have us (bloggers) for…

Idiot??!! Glass houses, my man, glass houses…
