As we all sit through what seems-to-be this never-ending rain, a thought crossed my mind.

Given the weather conditions, and that Tiger Woods is essentially out of contention at this week's U.S. Open, will anyone -- other than true diehards -- be watching later today, or Monday, or Tuesday, or whenever the weather will let the tournament end?

My guess is no. Tiger Woods is the probably biggest drawing card in any sport and the PGA Tour needs him a heck of a lot more than he needs it.

Whether you like him or not, you watch him.

But not this week.

The Yankees and Mets sound like a better alternative at this point.
