So, if you were Cory Pavin....

[warbirdlover]

Yup. Pretty much a done deal I'd say. Pavin is going to ask him and he said he will accept.

Whether Tiger makes it or is picked, it seems like hes on the plane. It is match-play and I for one think he will rise to the occasion and get his fair share of points anyway.
Looking forward to some great golf, I was at the "Twenty-Ten" for the Wales Open earlier this year and the course looked great then. Should be in super condition for the Ryder Cup.
(Anyone know some "stay-away-rain" dances for October?)

Stop press, Pavin has now said (via Twitter?) that he said no such thing about the Tiger pick and that he would not announce picks till 7th Sept.

yeah, i think Pavin realized he made a mistake by answering the question too soon and is back peddling.

Tiggy should devote himself to practice his acting for starting in a Porn Movie called "The Ryder Ridden" instead.

wow. the reporter from Golf Channel(Jim Gray) and Corey Pavin are just going at it. one says yes, one says no, one is lying..etc. check out these posts from Twitter:


-New reports suggest Pavin and Jim Gray had to be physically separated today.

-Did anyone get a pic of the scuffle between Pavin and Gray?

-Should be fun to see the Gray-Pavin showdown. I like Pavin in three rounds.

-Corey Pavin:For the record, @golfchannel Jim Gray has misquoted me re: picking Tiger. I never said such a thing & will not til 09/07

-"Is Jim Gray a liar?" was not one of the question on this week's Grey Goose 19th Hole

it goes on and on, jeez. btw, there seems to be problems with Monty, the Euro captain. seems there's some S&M pics of him out there that may get publicized? looks like Mr. Doubtfire has a kinky streak going.

Yeah, I've been hearing about that on ESPN radio. Methinks Gray is gonna have a helluva time getting any interviews with this years Ryder Cup squad.

And man...I hope that Monty rumor is just that....a rumor. If there's one thing in this world I really don't wanna see....

If those pictures of Monty are made public... and show up on ShotTalk... they need posted under WBL's thread "Getting Excited Now!!"

 

[warbirdlover]

What pics of Monty?

 

[N.V.M.]

Monty has admitted to having an affair with his neighbour, and to quote the story regarding what kind of pictures, "Rumour is full on gimp mask, rubber ball in the mouth, whips, dog collar and dominatrix."

Was that when he was on holidays in Vancouver?

IMO, if Tiger doesnt get his game turned around and play well enough to earn a spot on the team, he shouldnt be the captain's pick. Unless his play improves, he isnt going to be any help to the team.

While I agree with you, his level of play in this case is almost irrelevant. Pavin HAS to at least offer him a spot on the team. If he doesn't and loses he will be raosted in the media almost as much as Jean Van De Velde.

I disagree. I would think that knowledgable reporters would understand the reasoning behind not picking TW. It's almost as if Pavin is in a no-win situation. Offer a player that's clearly struggling a spot, and lose....he will be criticized. I guess the only thing to do, no matter who's on the team, is to go kick some Euro-ass in Oct, eh?

Well winning would cure most of the issues. But knowledgeable reporters still have deadlines and for every Knowledgeable one there are 4 that just need a story.
