2¢ With Kevin Stadler

--LONG PUTTERS I pray to God the USGA doesn't ban them.
--FRIENDS OR SEX AND THE CITY Friends. I don't know if I'll
watch the finale--it might spoil the reruns. --PEBBLE OR TORREY
Pebble. Sorry, San Diego. --NBA ALL-STARS Who cares? --ATKINS
DIET My dad lost 35 pounds, but as soon as he stopped, he got
bloated. --VIJAY SINGH Wouldn't have thought it possible for
him to miss a cut. --BARRY BONDS He's humongous, and it's a
long off-season, so he'd have plenty of time to use steroids
without getting caught. --MONDAY QUALIFYING Brutal. The bane of
my existence.
