Barring an ill-advised late night call or the misplaced text message, the ACC's relationship with Jacksonville is over.

It began, as most relationships do, with great expectations and high hopes. The city beamed over landing the ACC Football Championship Game and the ACC Baseball Tournament.

Sometimes, the winner of the Players Championship is the story.

It was when Tiger Woods won. Same with Phil Mickelson and Fred Funk and David Duval and Craig Perks.

Friday morning:

8:40am-Alex Cejka of Germany is making a move. He's 3 under thru 5 holes and now 9-under overall. He leads Ben Crane by a stroke. I really think the early morning tee times are going to have a chance to score today. Kevin Na is also making a move. 3 under thru 5, 4-under overall. Phil Mickelson has just teed off.

Brad Adamonis is the first guy on the top of the leaderboard to birdie today. As of 7:47am, he's at 6-under par, one stroke off the lead of Ben Crane. Adamonis has had a lot on his mind over the past couple of year. His father has been fighting all kinds of cancer (prostate, throat and neck, lymphoma, and non-smoking lung cancer) over the past three years. At one point, he was read his death rights. But Adamonis' father is here this week, walking when he can, riding a cart when he needs it. I've never spoken to Adamonis, but after hearing about his story, I'm rooting for him.

As I drove in this morning, there was a lot of dew on the grass. That should make the greens more receptive in the early rounds. That could be a real positive for first round leader Ben Crane who tees off at 7:40 and Alex Cejka, who is one stroke back. Cejka tees off at 7:30, the second group to being today.

Some players to watch today: Camilo Villegas, who begins at 8:10 this morning. Not only is Villegas in a great situation to post a good score, but if you are coming out to the tournament today, there is always good people watching in Villegas' gallery.

I will also keep an eye on Bubba Watson. He's a young gun and I think that he's likely to win this tournament at some point in his career. Ditto for Nick Watney, who is one of my slightly-off-the-radar picks this week.

A few thoughts on today at The Players Championship:

If you were to ask fans at the TPC Sawgrass who they root for, you would get a combination of Tiger, Phil, Sergio, maybe even some Furyk and Funk. Adam Scott. There are others.

Here's what I'm working on for Wednesday at The Players Championship.

First, I'll be talking with Jeff Klauk. He's the son of the long-time superintendant of the golf course at TPC Sawgrass, Fred Klauk. Jeff has did well on the Nationwide Tour last year and looks like a rising star on the PGA Tour. He'll certainly have some great local knowledge this week.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that I have all the answers (I'll just hint at it).

But once again, I love what the Jaguars and GM Gene Smith have done.

It's official. Torry Holt has made it big. And it's all thanks to me.

Me, me, me.

Okay, you'll pardon my punny title.But I have to tell you, I just couldn't stop starring.

Torry Holt held his first in-person press conference as a Jaguar (we had a teleconference with him last week), and I just had to ask it.
