When Greenbrier Was The Answer To The Million Dollar Question

Fifteen years ago the hottest show on television was “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”, hosted by Regis.

When they got around to doing a celebrity edition of it, Norm MacDonald was the final celebrity contestant for the week. Norm was a star, and got all the way to the final question which would have won his charity the million dollar prize (see clip starting at 5:21).

Regis talked Norm out of going for it, and of course, Norm would have gotten it right.

Anyways, whenever I think of the Greenbrier, I think back to this moment in tv history.

Jason Day Tied for Lead At U.S. Open While Battling Vertigo

Jason Day collapsed on his final hole at the U.S. Open on Friday due to an attack of vertigo. Apparently he’s been battling vertigo for a few years now.

Incredibly, Day battled vertigo again for much of his Saturday round, and was able to shoot a 2-under 68. He birdied 3 of his final 4 holes to gain a share the lead at -4 going into the final round.

I hope the Jason Day’s ending at the 2015 U.S. Open is better than James Stewart’s in the movie Vertigo.

Tiger Misses Cut at U.S. Open

Tiger was pretty bad at the U.S. Open, opening with an 80 following it up with a 76. He was better than only 3 other players in the field.

This is Tiger’s second shot at 18 on his first round, and I think it pretty much sums up his play.
