Can somebody give me a synopsis of what happened with Lefty and Tony Paul et al. ?
@portislives Tony & another DetNews reporter write stories about Phil being hosed by a SE MI bookie 15 years ago. Phil gets mad that it was brought up so he says screw Detroit, I'm not coming back to this event ever again. Some say "hit piece!" (it was all true) & others think Phil is a baby
@portislives I think they could've gotten by this week w/o it but Phil is super sensitive about the topic so there's fault to be had on both sides.
@BuckGenoIII @portislives True. But, why write the piece? His presence was helpful to the tournament & they turn around and publish a story which isn’t flattering (not great for his brand). Only the DetNews won, I guess. They got clicks, Phil looked less than great & now the tourney is w/o a big name.
@verbosedutch @portislives Nobody won. But the way it's playing out Mickelson isn't going to be seen in a negative light.
