"It makes it really hard for fans to have to keep learning all of these new faces and these new people, and the LPGA really needs one breakout superstar to get out of this niche of women’s golf and into the mainstream sports media, and if they fail to win consecutively and build on the momentum it really holds the Tour back” -- Golfweek’s Beth Ann Nichols, on many of the LPGA’s better known players not winning titles this season ( “Golf Today,” Golf Channel, 11/27).
“They have to play in Oakland this year. That’s going to be a rough situation. Only the diehards are going to come, the owner’s going to get pounded, nothing they can do. The stadium isn’t ready, they’ve got another year on the lease, but that makes for an aptly disastrous scenario. The owner’s not going to spend any money and team is going to win 50 games again. Better days are ahead” -- MLB Network’s Chris Russo, on where the A’s will play until their Las Vegas ballpark is built ( “High Heat,” MLB Network, 11/27).
