Meet Your Playoff Victims From The Barclays

Last week, I was watching The Simpsons episode about Jebediah Springfield Day.  And one of my favorite quotes from the episode is from the Jebediah Springfield Museum curator Hollis Hurlbutt (voiced by Donald Sutherland) bans Homer and Lisa from the museum for exposing Hans Sprungfeld Jebediah Springfield as a total fraud.

Get out! You're banned from this Historical Society. You, and your children, and your children's children! ... For three months.

Replace months with tournaments and Historical Society with FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the following poor souls are out.

K.J. Choi
Ben Curtis
Chris Riley
Harrison Frazar
George McNeill
Matt Bettencourt
Bill Lunde
Michael Allen
Robert Garrigus
Adam Scott
Aaron Baddeley
James Driscoll
Jeff Quinney
Tim Herron
Vaughn Taylor
Alex Cejka
Mark Calcavecchia
Chris DiMarco
Steve Flesch
Chris Stroud
Joe Ogilvie
David Mathis
Todd Hamilton
Roland Thatcher
Jeff Maggert

Only four of these guys were actually in this week's Deutsche Bank Championship if nothing had changed.  So, really, there were four big losers this week.

K.J. Choi
Ben Curtis
George McNeill
Matt Bettencourt

My heart is breaking

Bill Bettencourt and Roland Thatcher won’t be competing for the most overhyped honor in golf. I better lay down before my bp gets out of control.

Total number of people who care that aren’t related to or owed money by one of these players??? ZERO.

Btw, congrats to Adam Scott for going from #3 in the world to completely irrelevant in barely over a year.
