Starting today, Jim Nantz is back where he belongs: Butler Cabin. My buddy Danks thinks Jim Nantz should be locked in the Butler Cabin at Augusta National and never ever allowed to leave. I agree completely, and I’ve contacted Craig Stadler to see if he’d accept $20 to knock Nantz out and chain him to a pipe in the boiler room. No word yet.
If you’re looking for something to do on the Internet, and themightymjd.com just isn’t doing it for you, you can had on over to Masters.org and watch everyone play Amen Corner. Coverage of that begins at 10:45. You can also watch live coverage of the practice tee all long, if you’re the kind of person who would be into that thing. Of course, if you’re the type of person who’s into watching golfers practice, I’d also recommend some LSD.
My pick to win is, of course, Tiger Woods. My second choice is Tiger Woods. My third choice, just to mix things up a little bit, is Eldrick Woods.

The masters is a great cure for insomnia. NASCAR? If you want racism and 19th century thinking check out Augustus. Bunch of old farts with drivers up there asses who think they’re superior, probably because CBS kisses their fat asses. Nantz is just the Captain of the asskissing crew.

I agree with pete. At least nascar is trying to change its image.Augusta just keeps thumbing their noses at us.

I’ve watched a total of about 45 minutes of Masters coverage today, and I already want to pull Jim Nantz’s throat out.
But you’re right…covering this is his element. He gets to be the pompous ass he has to pretend to almost cover up during basketball season.

I can’t really explain why, but I love the Masters. I’m not proud of this, but it’s the truth. I’m not an old man, I don’t really like golf (especially on TV), I think all the whispered talk of the “hallowed ground of Augusta” or it being “a tradition unlike any other” is silly, and I would like nothing better than a chance to kick Jin Natz in the face. Yet every year, without fail, I watch. I wish I knew why.

I feel almost exactly the same way.

I consider it Christmas. It is something my Dad and I have always shared. I remember 86 when Nicklaus won, with my brother and I and Dad watching.
Seve on 15…
Dad: “Hit it in the water, you prick.”
Splash.
What a fantastic moment.
