A statement which had me say this to Bob Harig, a or the senior golf writer at ESPN.com...

Harig didn't take it too well.
@darkstar7646 oh yes ,this is such a disgrace to the tournament. it's horrible
— Bob Harig(@BobHarig) June 19, 2015
To which I finally had to fire off the money shot...
@BobHarig Yes it is, especially as much as your damned network has made golf in this country about Tiger Woods and NOTHING ELSE! #ESPN
— Michael Falkner (@darkstar7646) June 19, 2015
He didn't like that one either.
@darkstar7646 oh yeah, it's ESPN's fault. good one. #makeitupasyougo

Of course, anyone who's watched ESPN and their golf coverage over the last 15 or so years knows better, so I had one more for Mr. Harig:
@BobHarig Don't have to, Bob. ESPN's record on making American golf all about Tiger Woods is legendary. Stop lying to us and cover golf.
— Michael Falkner (@darkstar7646) June 19, 2015
EDIT TO ADD: It continued while I was trying to get home...
@darkstar7646 oh, I'm lying to you. okay.. and Tiger wasn't worth covering over those 15 years. Please
— Bob Harig (@BobHarig) June 19, 2015
He did try to play the logical fallacy card...

Which I didn't buy for a second (current as of about 7:30 Pacific -- Tiger's +9 through 17, 61 golfers +1 or better):
@BobHarig Tiger's on the cover of your homepage, FOURTEEN SHOTS OUT and EIGHT off the cut line. #TRUTH
— Michael Falkner (@darkstar7646) June 19, 2015
To which Harig fired back:
@darkstar7646 @Jrw61Rogers so bitter... why don't you watch.. the Golf Channel!
— Bob Harig (@BobHarig) June 19, 2015
He doesn't know what golf fans like me and my friends usually do for the three majors it is provided...
@BobHarig Why do you think golf fans like me openly avoid network golf coverage for things like Masters, US Open, etc.?
