Here We Go Again

It may not be news, but it, too, is reality.  Augusta National's Billy Payne apparently believes Tiger will win again, and it could be another Masters.  I only have one comment about that: is that really news?  Actually, I have another comment:  would what Billy Payne believes about Tiger Woods comeback chances and a dollar actually buy you a coffee?
