NewMexiKen has been watching sports for at least 56 years that I can remember and while fully understanding the emotion that makes the contest du jour the event of the century, I must say that the past three days of U.S. Open coverage have been absolutely compelling. It just doesn’t get any better.
91st hole, sudden death. Woods putts for win, misses, then taps in. Mediate putts to tie (and continue the match).
P.S. The four most dramatic putts in memory (on 18) and the imbeciles who manage the local NBC affiliate run a programming crawl that cancels out the high definition picture, then forget to change back until Woods and Mediate have finished.
I even turned the channel from the UEFA 2008 game between Germany and Austria to watch golf. Golf! Me!
And, yeah, that kind of HD stuff happens all the time here. On the ABC affiliate here too during basketball games…
