Heady stuff

The Players Championship golf tournament was heady stuff this weekend. Seriously. Heady stuff.

OK, before we explain, can the Players Championship and NBC quit referring to it as the fifth major. There are four majors. Period. If one of the majors wants to quit, then there is an opening to be filled. This is simple math. There are not five runs (or five bases for that matter) in a grand slam. So stop calling it the fifth major. Besides, one of the fundamental sports rules is you can’t give yourself a nickname. (Side question: If you could give yourself a nickname, what would it be? We thought about going with LL Cool Jay, but it was taken. So was Jay-Z, Jay-Smooth and Chief Jay Strongbow. Stink.)

OK, let’s take a quick look back at the Players being very heady stuff – literally and figuratively.
