the two worst topics of sports discussion are someone else's fantasy team and someone else's golf game. The reason they even start is because everyone loves to talk about their own teams and game.

Phil Kosin, (GRHS) had one of the most listened to shows on the Score back in his day.

This weekend in Augusta is better than probably about 80% of NBA regular season games.

You just know Nantz is already lathered up too. Seeing Mitch McGary and Spike Albrecht balling out is literally a wet dream for him.

I'm also wondering about golf in person as a spectator experience.

Do most people just stay at one hole and watch everybody as they come through? Or do most people follow a particular golfer from hole to hole?

Is it cool, or does it kind of suck? Like if it was baseball, it would be like you watching the right fielder, and only the right fielder, the entire time. No?

I have a huge soft spot for big sweaty, pulsating hawgs.

But to keep things in perspective, 80% of NBA Playoff games are better than this weekend in the wildly overrated hick town that is Augusta.

And I won't even bring up the (traditional) shitty pimento cheese sandwiches.

Things to like about the South are few and far between. Barbecue and the blues are about it, and those are Memphis touchstones. What are the Carolinas but tobacco and McMansions for relocated Yankees?

It looks like a huge collection of pudwacks desperately attempting to interact with the "atheletes".

Couldn't be further from the truth. The "get in the hole" assclowns and the people running to an errant shot to get on TV are in the minority.

There is nothing about the south you like, at least from what I read.

Quite frankly, if it's more than 30-45 minutes away from a large body of water, there isn't much for me there. In fairness that also includes the overwhelming majority of the fly-over country as well. (I mean really, what is there to LIKE about non-Chicagoland Illinois?) I just don't appreciate/like country life. Remember, the overwhelming parts of rural America wasn't exactly safe/welcoming for people like me up through my formative years. I have a healthy dose of concern/skepticism remaining.

I just don't find much of the south particularly interesting. Even the "cities" like Atlanta .

With exceptions for College sports/BBQ/Cajun/Creole food, sweet tea, Coca Cola & The Waffle House.

That's unfortunate.
