Deadspin
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.
Count me among those who think Augusta's kind of ruined its appeal by all but eliminating the possibility of birdies and eagles. It's like watching a football game in an arctic blizzard. It's fun to see every the players sliding around, the wind killing every pass or punt attempt, and no one staying on their feet for longer than 3 or 4 seconds, but eventually, you begin to remember that you like touchdowns. Yellow Chair Sports agrees.
But there's nothing Augusta can do to ruin the harmonious intonations of Jim Nantz. CBS's coverage begins right about now, so tune in because Jim Nantz goin' do it BIG... ALL DAY... AND ALL NIGHT. You have no idea what Jim Nantz means when he says that, but he goin' do it BIG. You don't know, but my boyz know — them Augusta boyz know — they know what Jim Nantz talkin' 'bout when he say he goin' do it big.

Hmmmm.... Greg Norman gives a gentle caress to Jim Nantz's chin... that's so ####
I'm not okay with Nantz calling me his friend. I've never even met him. That's presumptuous.
@George of the Jungle: I'm pretty sure that was right after Nantz had licked whipped cream off of Norman's finger.
I have to agree. With all of the changes they've made to the course, and the weather conditions, this really seems like it is going to be a boring tournament.
@Roy Hobbs: Imagine that, a golf tournament being boring.
Well, count me as one who loves this shit. I hit a tremendous amount of horrible golf shots every year, so I enjoy seeing the pros make double bogey too.
@Roy Hobbs: Its funny watching everyone self destruct though
HAHAHAHAHA
I don't think I will ever get tired of making fun of Joakim Noah.
Jim Nantz is having a great time, because he doesn't beieve in the existance of bogies. That's because all Golfers are perfect beings who are incapable of making any mistakes. I can't wait to read on Monday morning how the Master champion won by shooting 60 under par!!!

any chance at all that Nantz, after captivating America's hearts and minds these last few weeks with the NCAA tourney and The Masters, slips into his alter-ego NantzNasty, fires up the yacht, and makes it rain like it aint no thang but a chicken wang on a strang?
I've seen Lefty try to putt a couple of times today.
I think Arsenal is about to sign him.
Did anyone else hear that comment about Tiger "unsheathing his weapon," or am I just crazy?
@DisgruntledGoat: You hear it alright...
@Roy Hobbs: Thanks. Glad to know I'm not crazy.
Greg Oden looked a little winded on Amen Corner.
With bottles of D.P., Nantz do it real B-I-G.
One of the 5 best lines of all time uttered on TV was by David Feherty earlier today.
He said playing lovely Augusta was so tough today, "It was like being tortured by a beautiful woman".
Like none of us have ever felt that...
Of course, unsheathing a weapon is in that top 5, as well.
I watched the Masters today for a few hours, and then tried to play frisbee golf. I couldn't get Nantz's voice out of my head.
@Scott Walker: I heard that comment too. I was in shock.

Now THAT, I'd watch on my computer.
