As every sane sports fan well knows . . . The USGA's insistence on playing a full playoff round on Monday for the U.S. Open was, is and always will be an awful idea, a profound anti-climax that is unnecessary - especially for a West Coast Open that left ample time for playoff holes after the 6 p.m. PDT finale Sunday.
Sigh.
The good news is that unlike every other Monday playoff in Open history, for this one many people have high-speed Internet connections at work, and thus will be able to watch on USOpen.com, NBCSports.com and ESPN360.com, assuming they have understanding bosses and co-workers on the sensitive issue of blatant goofing off.
By the way, why is ESPN showing the first half of the playoff and NBC the second? Because that's the way the TV contract is set up.
(P.S. I hope Tiger appreciates how respectful I have been toward his wife in my selection of images over the months. I'm leaving many page views on the table, sir!)

Neil, you get comment of the week with your P.S.!
But you lose it because of what you said prior. I love the 18-hole-format, mostly because I was on a train last night and couldn't watch the end. So now I can. Though my boss wont be that understanding when I have to go into work at 4:00.
