Maybe there’s a surgery for that, too

In a related story to today’s Tiger Woods bombshell is this report in which “Retief Goosen says he was only joking when he said Woods was faking his knee injury during the Open”:http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/25241379/site/21683474/.

â€œI was joking, really. I mean, how do I know? I never spoke to the guy,â€ Goosen said. â€œHeâ€™s got a sore knee, yes, and at the end of the day itâ€™s a great achievement by Tiger winning his 14th major. But I wouldnâ€™t really know how sore or not his knee was. Obviously if his knee was really bad he would have withdrawn. I wonâ€™t say I knew he was faking it. How would I know? Anyway, itâ€™s great to see that heâ€™s recovering well and that heâ€™s back on form.â€

This would be entirely believable if not for the fact that, as far as we know, Retief Goosen does not actually possess a sense of humor.
