Some Monday Afternoon Championship Golf For You

The US Open playoff — and how cool is it that they make the two people who tie play another 18 holes the next day? — tees off in about 20 minutes. As Jason Sobel put it, it's Tiger's knee vs. Tiger's brain. Or, as we put it, it's Tiger's knee against Rocco Mediate's male pattern baldness. Don't worry, Tiger: You'll catch up with him soon!

The first nine holes are on ESPN — we don't know if they're bringing Berman back; maybe they'll have that absolutely-hilarious-on-television Rick Reilly — with the last nine on NBC. We can't think of a better all-day contrast between Mediate and Woods; either win is a great story. All we ask is that Tiger grimace as little as possible because of that knee. You think your knee has problems, Tiger? Rocco Mediate has a goiter the size of Pakistan.

You can follow along right here, if you're feeling frisky.
