There was so much discussion Monday about an ACC Network during John Swoffod’s opening remarks, that it was actually difficult to sift fact from fiction. Is it around the corner? Have talks cooled?

Let’s give Zach Johnson his due. Coming into the final round of the British Open, the story was Jordan Spieth’s pursuit of the Grand Slam, or amateur Paul Dunne making a run at the major. Maybe Sergio Garcia or Jason Day were going to win their 1st major. Zach Johnson came into Monday a …
