It's explained in detail on the thread. Cliff notes - the way people thought you shaped the ball for years is wrong.

Interesting, thanks.

Also lol at Chamblee "telling it like it is" in regards to Tiger.

To quote Chamblee "Tiger may not even be in my top 2 golfers of all time even if he gets to 19+ majors"

You cant make this stuff up.

And again, his statements and opinions on Tiger are based on much more information than the general public is willing to learn. The general public merely wants to suckle on Tiger regardless of facts.

Here's a hint for you... The people saying a long ball hitter is going to win this week all count both Tiger and McIlroy among the long ball hitters.

Ron Burgundy · 08-08-2012, 06:09 PM

how awesome would it be if nitBO had his own show on GC?

Wallypop · 08-08-2012, 06:10 PM

Not very.

Ron Burgundy · 08-08-2012, 06:18 PM

wtf it would be awesome. My idea is it would be a call-in show, where it's BO sitting on a fancy chair in a room surrounded by leather bound books and rich mahogany furniture. BO would pick a topic and say a short monologue in which he expresses some asinine opinion and implies that anyone who hasn't played a handful of mini tour events would never be able to have a valid opinion on. Then people call in to rip on him and BO just keeps doing what BO does and the caller's heads explode.

Fair enough.

Random thought. Was browsing PGA website reading different articles. Apparently they have a series going where wive's give some details about their husbands. They have a picture at the top and everything. Someone tell me Charley Hoffman and his wife don't look related in this picture. It's sort of creepy. Same smile and everything.

I would definitely watch that

Phil also paired with Ryder Cup captain DLIII the first 2 rounds. Will be interesting if he plays really poorly and misses the cut to see what DLIII will do. Tho im sure he'll get the nod with 4 captains pick at DLIII's disposal rather than the 2 the presidents cup captain gets.

US players get 2 points for every $1000 they make this week.

I think all the guys you mentioned are near locks. The only question remaining will be who gets the last spot. Going in I lean Fowler over Haas, for marketing purposes obviously.

Rooting for Garrigus to mess everything up.

Obvious Hogan lobbying effort.

I have no idea who this Brandel guy is but you guys seem to hate on him before every Major and it's mainly due to what he says about Tiger.

Why do you read/listen to what he says if you think he is that dumb?

I guess the obvious response is because you want to see what dumb stuff he has to say but after a while that loses it's appeal, no?

Wallypop · 08-08-2012, 06:33 PM

BECAUSE HE'S ****ING EVERYWHERE!

This sounds like an old Jesse Jackson skit on SNL called "The Question Is Moot", a trivia game where contestants buzzed in with what seemed to be the correct answer only to be informed by Jackson that the question didn't matter for some bizarre reason and they would be awarded no points. The game ended in a 0-0 tie and he kept the prize (a new car) for himself.

If this is true it would be unsurprising if there was a near 1 : 1 correlation between Tiger nuthuggers and those hating on Chamblee. Not that Chamblee is right all the time or averse to being contrarian.

Your theory would have a little more weight if Chamblee hadn't also said that Tiger is an overwhelming favorite this week for a variety of reasons
