Thursday afternoon, Sergio Garcia pulls a 5 foot put for bogie and Johnny Miller says, "Talk about YANKEE DOODLE!"

At least he played the game and is a Major champion. I can handle him. It's Karl Ravech of ESPN who should not be in the booth during a golf tournament. The guy knows nothing about the game. I want to punch him in the head.

Karl (as you probably know) is a baseball specialist.

ESPN does not do this type of coverage a lot. They are using everyone and Andy North cannot sit in the booth all day.

It's time to celebrate the ridiculous: Post the stupid things Johnny and the rest say! I'll kick it off:

I decided to hate Tom Kite forever after his caddy clubbed him and he replied, "All righty ditey!" That is lame.

Johnny Miller may sound corny to you but that's a legitimate slang term. It's at least as clever as these gems I gleaned from the members of this esteemed forum: *"Well you’re dancin’, but there’s no music playin’ " (on the green but far away) *"She was ugly, but she had big tits" (a bad shot that turns out good) *A Hitler (two shots in the bunker) *"was that your putter you hit? (a worm burner off the tee) *'get some jizz on this' *"Let the big dog eat!" *"I’m gonna start calling you the CHEF--You're slicing everything today" *After topping a drive, "I popped that like a Chinese cop on a Tibetan Monk!" *When trying to kill a drive "hit it like it owes you money!” *When you hit a putt and still have 5 feet or more left: *"A little poop left in that diaper!" *I had just hit a pull hook with the driver and my buddy hollered out, "more right rudder!" *On the greens: "A Brazilian" One that just shaved the hole. *A Rock Hudson, convinced it was straight but it turned out it wasn’t *When I hit a fat one, I will refer to it as a "Weight Watcher's Drop Out." *"That one was fatter than this girl I hooked up with one drunken night in college." *That's the most enthusiastic fade I've seen for a while. (It's a slice) *So many shots to choose from! Which do you think was your best? *That's the best three-putt I've ever seen. *An O.J Simpson: Got away with it *A ladyboy: Looks like an easy hole but all is not what it seems *A condom: Safe, but it didn't feel very good *"Did you get caught in your g-string on that one?” after leaving a putt short *When a friend leaves a putt way short: "Take off your panties and putt it." *"That ball looks awfully THIRSTY..." (Self-explanatory) *Leave it short - Throw you purse at it. *Poor Putt- it wouldn’t have been alright if it weren’t for that thing on your putter. (Inspect putter face). No the other end. *"Putting like I’m at the junior prom, lots of lip and no hole" At least he's not Lanny Wadkins. I'm grateful there is only one. He's way better than Brent Musberger. Brent never stopped calling bunkers "sand traps" while covering the Masters. He was nearly strangled by Tom Weiskopf for it. Maybe now you all will like Jim Nance a little better. Jim, at least, played college golf and roomed with Fred Couples at Houston. I won't be happy until Venturi and Summeral return.

I know this is a little anal, but one commentator just referred to Michael Campbell as 'Past Open Champion' when traditionally this should only be referred to shen they have won the Open Championship and not the US Open.

Tight I know but I'm a bit traditional and it annoys me when the commentators perpetuate the wrong terminology.

And while I am ranting I really don't understand how an albatross started getting called a double eagle. Shouldn't that be 4 under on a hole?

Let's not start this whole thing again. The U.S. Open is our (people in the U.S.) "Open Championship" just as the "British Open" is the "Open Championship" of Britain.

Each is "The Open" to their respective host countries. Yes, the one hosted by the smaller of the countries came first, but that doesn't make it the "wrong terminology."

In that case I am sorry as I have simply never heard an American person refer to the Us Open as their Open Championship and I have seen British people nearly come to blows when 'their' Open was referred to as the British Open. The signage at both events would add weight to this. I really don't mind though as I love and respect all of the majors because of their differences and not despite them.

Back on topic now and I just loved the way the crowd booed someone's ball after it stopped near the hole and then took a swail which ran it back 30 feet away. Also the orange shirt team of Weekely, Jiminez and Katayama. Do you think they called each other before the tee time?

'Tiger coming to the 16th hole... he puts his tee in the ground'

Where else is he going to put it? I laughed when I heard it anyway...

I think you all are forgetting how bad Dan Hicks is. I'm sure Hicks is a stand-up guy, but he makes some really, really silly comments at times. Just listen to him today, you'll see what I mean. On that note, Jim Nantz is the best in the business by far, even if he is sometimes more than a bit syrupy.

I know its not exactly a quote but when Johnny circled Tiger's left knee on the screen and said, "here is his left knee" I just about died laughing. Stupid me, I always thought it was the other knee, thank you Johnny.

I enjoy NBC's coverage, including Johnny Miller. Would you rather listen to Gary McCord's silly commentary? I turn the sound off when he's on.

I like Gary McCord and Johnny Miller. I even enjoyed Dennis Miller when he was on football duty: that got me to watch non-Super Bowl football for the first time. I like just about any announcer who appears to be having fun with the job.

Johnny Miller, the worst golf commentator EVER. What ticked me off the most was ANY putt that missed right was a 'he pushed it'.

It couldnt have been the break Johnny? It couldn't have been the speed Johnny?

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
