Tiger Vs. Phil: The Hype Has Begun

Good grief, the hype has begun.

We’re talking the hype for the dreaded Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson match.

HBO is already investing big money with its first trailer for the $9 million square off.

You wonder out loud if they’ll eventually call in the good folks from the WWE to really blow this thing up.

How about a pre-match arm-wrestling contest between the two “combatants”?

This is just the beginning, there’s a long way to go before November 23 in Vegas.

Go straight to the Dog House, HBO, straight to the Dog House.

By the way, the Dog House has no cable TV.
