Holmes Wins Playoff; Mickelson Unable To Regroup From Kostis Football "Reference"

I searched the transcript but apparently the scribblers did not think to ask Phil if his mind was racing in a desperate attempt to figure out what it was that Peter Kostis was getting at with his post round interview football "reference."

Not sure about the reference, but I during a Kessler 'making the turn' conversation with Dave Dusak, the latter was complaining about poor Phil having to wait so long for a one hole sudden-death playoff, while Holmes was still warm after posting his score. I guess Foo-Foo Phil should have played a bit better prior to Sunday so he wouldn't have had to wait so long.

I love football, and I watched the golf, but I did not understand the defence/special teams comment by Kostis. Mickelson looked like he had just taken a verbal judo chop and didn't know what to say.

Maybe he could have said Phil had to settle for field goals? When the analogy doesn't come easy, it is best to just abandon it. Like the Pats and the run game.

i'm so glad I'm not the only one who had no idea what the hell kostis was saying.

Giants won, and that's all that should compute.
