Some say the world is going to Hell in a Hand Basket.
The Smartfella is thinking that the world just may already be in Hell sitting in that Hand Basket looking back at where it used to be.
=====================
Now for the not too important…
According to Yahoo Sports
HEADLINE: Tiger wins Players Championship with strong finish.
Text from the article: Woods closed out The Players Championship on Sunday like he has so many other tournaments: hitting big shot after big shot down the stretch.
According to the Wall Street Journal
HEADLINE: Woods Wobbles to Win
Text from the article: When Tiger Woods stood on the 14th tee Sunday, he held a three-shot lead and his march to victory seemed inexorable. But a weak hooked tee shot into the water on the hole made him scramble for his 78th career win.
What you wanna bet that the guy pecking out the Yahoo Sports article was not doing so with a baseball cap on (backwards) that read, “Tiger Is One Great Cat”.
This kind of blind reporting just might see this same guy starting a campaign to have Tiger “awarded” 5 more victories so he can pass Sam Snead.
Can’t you just see him pecking out something like, “Tiger deserves these 5 more wins. If he had not been such a complete jerk and so completely screwed up his personal, family and golfing life, he would have certainly won 5 more times.”
To the Smartfella’s way of thinking, no one should ever be allowed to pass Sam Snead because Slammin’ Sammy uttered the greatest line in the history of golf when he said, “I have always wanted to shoot a round of golf equal to my age. There is a lot of pressure on me to do that this year because I am 61 years old. Next year it will be too easy”. 
Would I kid u?

More: As he grew older he shot his age many times. For example, in 1983, at age 71, he shot 60 at his home course, The Homestead. It really was too easy.

The Player's Championship had the craziest finish of any tournament I have ever watched. All of the players at the top of the leader board who had a chance to win made really bad and unexpected shots late in the round that ruined their chances to win the tournament. Sergio Garcia, when tied for the lead, dunked two balls in the water on 17 and one more went in the water on 18, and both Palmer and Maggert hit really bad shots on 17 or 18 which cost them a chance at winning. It was a crazy round of golf and Tiger did in fact wobble in to win.
