Less stress here. No capping but this should be a great watch
Be surprised to see an American win. That's the extent of my capping.
J Walker would likely be my favourite but he's not even in my contest picks...so I'm clueless
Watch this next piece on Mike Donald. It's sad. He's Cleveland.
I mean wow...life changes
So Tiger, Fowler and Louie are losing two shots PER HOLE to the group in front of them (Spieth, Day, Rose).
Fairly certain this is not how Tiger drew up the hole.
Just turned on the coverage will hold judgement on Fox's telecast.
So far in terms of suckitude, I'd rate it:
1) Chambers Bay - visually unappealing as a US Open venue. Gimmicky slopes, greens that blend into the fairway, holes that can't accommodate spectators. Bad choice.
2) Eldrick & Ricky Flatbrim - Woods was horrible, Fowler was even worse.
3) Fox coverage (would be higher on the list if not for the occasional Holly Sonders sighting)
Dude it is BRUTAL....Let us just say they treat the audience like they are broadcasting Jai a Lai championships
I am surprised they didnt explain what par/birdie is.........
they got it all weekend too?
Fox shouldnt do golf....I hope all you fuckers who hate Nantz realize now what we had/have..
I am waiting for a big futuristic golf cyborg to jump out to some Puddle Of Mudd or Hinder song and swat the club at another cyborg's head
football....sure....they don't make me puke.
I always have felt Fox to be last place in sports broadcast
Btw i took Hideki over Bubba for the tourney. Tied thru 1 round.
You should win that.
Thoughts on Phil vs Bubba in 2nd round? Bubba seemed so frustrated with length of round today and it isn't changing anytimer soon...and Phil was pretty solid after the good weekend last week...
We got 115/105 right now.

I was thinking the same thing. It's like they think that there is some huge new viewership because they are new at broadcasting the US Open, and don't realize that the people who watch golf on Thursday are generally die hard golf fans. It's like watching college football with my parents, having to explain what's happening all the time, or explaining that yes, sometimes Alabama does commit penalties.
Also thought they did a poor job on Tiger's group. I get that there is a large part of society (the fans on the 18th were atrocious) who enjoy watching fallen superstars, but there was no reason to show every shot that group was hitting, just to see how bad it got. You can always go back and show some lowlights, but they were basically kicking those guys while they were down. The guys on the telecast who actually played golf (Weiskopf and Faxon) basically said they didn't want to see it. Norman wasn't as bad as the non-golf guys, but you can tell he doesn't like Tiger because Tiger never went to him for advice. Can't believe this joke of a broadcast crew has the next 10 of these
