Alonzo Mourning’s Accused Of Being Deadbeat Casino Space User [NBA Legal Kerfluffles]
Say some you poverty about the Wynn Las Vegas, but their debt-collections aerofoil is clearly not messing around. Wynn, which notoriously went after Chuck Barkley for his $400,000 gambling debt, is now loosing its jural hyenas upon Alonzo Mourning, who’s charity foundation owes the casino 50 super for “convention and meeting space and related services used during the 2007 NBA All-Star weekend”, according to the LA Times.
Mourning, the one kidney’d warrior who is apparently still a member of the Miami Heat, had no interpret on the suit and the NBA isn’t commenting on it until they find out who exactly screwed this up and the league’s attorneys have still to see the suit.

Tiger Woods, Rocco Mediate, A US Open playoff, and 13
There module be an 18 hole playoff tomorrow to watch the US Open Champion. 64-time PGA Tour winner, 13-time Major Champion, maybe the large participant ever to play the game Tiger Woods versus five-time PGA Tour winner, Zero field champion tour journeyman Rocco Mediate. The playoff has the smell of a rout in the entireness for tomorrow, doesn’t it? I’ll intend back to this later.
Just yesterday I wrote I was pulling for Rocco, but at the same time gave him lowercase chance to get the US Open. Rocco, who comes off as a very nice person(at small he did when I followed him at a tournament 20 eld ago) had people pulling for him this weekend. Fans shouting Rocco. He played beatific golf, better on Saturday than Sunday I think, and has put himself in position to get a field championship.
Except that Rocco is up against Tiger Woods. An injured, but formidable Tiger. I wasn’t surprised when Woods birdied 18 to force the playoff.
A playoff that shapes up much same the 1929 US Open did. Then it was Bobby Jones, arguably the large player to tee it up prior to 1950, against Al Espinosa a 7 time PGA winner. Because Espinosa was a sincere Catholic, the tee-time was pushed back on Sunday in order for him to go to mass.
I’ll save you hunting up how that playoff ended. designer won it by 23 shots, 141-164. In those life a 36-hole playoff took place to watch who the Open champ was if a there was a tie after 72 holes.
Which reminds me, the USGA should finally eliminate the 18-hole playoff format they use to watch the US Open champ. A four-hole playoff same used at The British Open is a fair test, besides the USGA has dumped the 18-hole format for their other events.
Note- I always thought it dumb that once the 18-hole playoff was over, and if there was still a tie, the USGA suddenly thought sudden modification was acceptable for a field championship. If it isn’t acceptable at the end of 72 holes, ground should it be at the end of 90?
I looked at other playoffs that may study to Woods vs. Mediate. On the men’s side of the equation, you have 1990 where Hale Irwin faced Mike Donald and 1994 where Ernie Els faced actress Roberts. Irwin and Els are three-time field winners, Donald and Roberts were journeyman.
A better comparability may be the 2006 US Women’s Open where Annika Sorenstam faced off against Pat Hurst in a 18 hole playoff. Annika and Pat’s get totals 67 to 5, is almost the same as Tiger and Mediate’s 64 to 5. Annika was the #1 player in the world, maybe the best blackamoor to play the game ever. Hurst is a career journeywoman(but unlike Mediate, Hurst has a field to her credit. The 1998 Kraft Nabisco)
Annika won the playoff in 2006 70-74.
So what do I predict tomorrow.
First what’s that 13 I mention in the title of the post.
Tiger has 13 majors
Tiger has almost 13 wins to every one of Rocco’s.(12.8 to be exact. I think that’s close enough to be called 13 to 1).
The Par 5 13th hole was pivotal in this weekend’s play. Tiger making an eagle three on Saturday compared to Rocco’s bogey six. Then on Sunday, Tiger bogied the 13th, opening the entranceway for Rocco Mediate to get the tournament in regulation which he nearly did.
Now for my prediction- Most people module say Rocco Mediate hasn’t a prayer meet same Al Espinosa did when faced with Bobby Jones. Tiger has a bum knee, and Rocco is playing well. I think the playoff module be close with Tiger reaching out on top 71-73.
One terminal thing- I’m surprised tomorrow’s playoff isn’t in prime time also same play had been over the weekend. Instead Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate module begin their playoff at 9 a.m.
Also note Tiger is 10-1 in playoffs according to the 2007 PGA media guide book(I don’t have 2008’s) and Mediate is 2-0. Tiger has won the San Diego Open, also played at Torrey Pines, in a playoff. That was in 2006.
Tiger’s only finish in a playoff happened up the road at the Nissan LA Open in 1998 to Billy Mayfair.
