I'm not sure whether to give this thumbs down to Chris Matthews or to my local television station. The Chris Matthews Show airs on Sunday mornings in my market. This week, Chris did a piece on the relationship between Tiger Woods and his father, Earl. It was a nice feature, but at the end, when Chris was wrapping it up, he stated something like, "This week, Tiger's out there competing. . . without his dad."
If the show was to air earlier in the week, thumbs down to my local station for not doing so. However, I suspect it's not the station's fault.
This thumbs down goes to you, Chris. It was big news Friday afternoon that Tiger did not make the cut for the U.S. Open, the first time he missed the cut on a major in his career. Tiger's not out there competing this weekend. It would have been smart to go back and edit your piece to reflect that. As it stands, rather than thinking about Tiger, Earl and Fathers Day, you left your viewers thinking, "I didn't realize that show was taped so far in advance."
