Pebble Beach Golf Links (among the other courses associated with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) is one of the most desired courses on Earth for hackers to play. Today's CBS broadcast of the event regularly referred to it as "The World's Best Golf Course." Yet for some competitors in the Pro-Am, CBS golf commentator Jim Nantz would have you think playing the event was an enormous sacrifice—in particular Bill Belichick, who surely must have been paralyzed with depression following Sunday's Super Bowl loss, but courageously "honored his commitment" to do something for which nearly every golfer on the planet would sell an internal organ.

Earlier today, we brought you wretched flashbacks from last night, when Jim Nantz, who is usually sharpei if mastiff, deployed the oldest dog-related puns in the bark. It was an announcing boner—the shih tzu see too often on TV. The line stank like poodle the moment we heard it. More »

To be fair to Worst Man Jim Nantz, we understand that a Huskies-Bulldogs final is a bit like Christmas for him. A Christmas trimmed with multiple opportunities for insufferable references to dogs and winning. And so when the buzzer sounded, Nantz dropped three dog puns in under 20 seconds. It was either that he'd been saving them up for this moment, waiting to crown the "top dog," or that the wordplay just came out naturally. Like projectile vomit. Not even #jimnantzpunpredictions took it to this level. But that's what the Nantz is for. More »

My first visit to Augusta National broke the club's dress code with almost criminal negligence: I was wearing basketball shorts, a T-shirt, and was unshaven to boot. Sure, I was on my couch, but I told myself I was stepping… [Kotaku] More »

Justin Rose got his first PGA tour victory over the weekend at the Memorial tournament, which allowed Jim Nantz to reach deep into his back catalog of allusions. This week: Hocus Pocus chanteuse Bette Midler. More »

Nantz pronounces himself appalled at Tiger's naughty language. "How about the father and son who are standing right there by the tee? How about the hundreds of people who are around that tee who hear that?" How about you fuck yourself? [Chron.com] More »

CBS's omnipresent talking guy Jim Nantz is divorcing his wife of 26 years. This is not at all scandalous or shocking, yet the local newspaper provided us all with a depressing blow-by-blow that just might break your heart. More »

We are coming up on the busiest month of Jim Nantz's life. He'll be broadcasting the Final Four, and then he'll head off to the event that he seems born to cover, the Masters. We sometimes think Jim Nantz is the living embodiment of the Masters. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. More »

If you love scrambling for pars and conservative golf (as opposed to all the extreme high-risk golf out there), you should love today's Masters coverage. The course continues to play very tough, with most of today's players being well over par. A few have gotten to red numbers, though, with Tiger Woods at -2 on the day (+1 overall, tied for 8th), and Stuart Appleby catching fire to be -3 through 4 holes today. He's your current leader. And yes, I have been watching golf on my computer. Leave me alone. More »

With the official Week Of Jim Nantz just around the corner — starting Saturday, Nantz is about to take a starring role in all your nightmares — we are reminded that Nantz, right now, is probably sitting in a hotel room in Atlanta, jotting down puns and single entendres based on which ever team wins the national championship on Monday night.

As The Masters tee off today — complete with cigarettes and littered beer cans everywhere — we cast our eyes again to Jim Nantz. After playing toadie to Billy Packer for a while — and is there a worse possible job description on earth than "Billy Packer's toadie?" — Nantz heads to Augusta, a place he calls "better than any event I could ever cover."
