  • 2012 Golden Gobble Awards: Reds...

    The envelope please.
    Thanksgiving is here and that means it is time for another edition of my Golden Gobble Awards - my annual look at the biggest blunderers of 2012. The holiday would not be complete without them. They are the dressing to your turkey. They are the gravy to your mashed potatoes. I just hope that, unlike dinner, they don’t leave you with heartburn.
    My first Golden Gobble goes to the United States Ryder Cup team. The team went into Sunday with the lead against the European team. There was no way they could lose.
    Oops.
