I like guys without a filter. They make me feel better about myself! Actually, I like Miller's opinions and his knowledge of the golf swing. And I challenge anyone to fill time in a golf tournament.

I also like McCord. And, I'm not sure what Maltbie brings to the table in terms of announcing acumen. He seems like a nice guy and I did read a book of his that I liked, though.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

He's dumb, no common sense, says stupid things and tries to sound smart when he really isn't. He's a fool and did I mention , hes dumb?

Johnny's great because he provides chat for message boards and talk at the water cooler. Whether anyone takes him seriously or thinks he's an ass is up to the viewer.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

I'm not sure how many people read GolfWeek and GolfWorld, but but magazines have been ripping Miller lately for exactly the same reasons posted here. They've also both mentioned how the other broadcasters are firing back at Miller and his comments.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

I used to try copy his swing a million years ago. I'm trying to think of that great year he had when we started out winning a bunch of spring tournaments, and that U.S. Open win at Oakmont, even Tiger thought that was impressive.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

Tiger is back and so is Miller.

#1-Was it appropriate to comment on sean o hair's personal relationship with his father?
#2-How many times could one commentator say the word 'cut' or 'high cut' during a round?

the knucklehead is back! Overrated player, overrated commentator, overrated mind.

He's got a great TV voice and Arnie seemed to take a shine to him...

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

I think his voice is actually quite annoying. Miller is a tool as far as announcing goes, simply because he thinks what he says matters. I thought Peter Jacobsen was incredibly good in his comments yesterday, he speaks well, doesn't try to add inane comments in, and says as little as possible which is about what a golf announcer should be.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

Generally, I like Johnny, I've really liked him since I saw him win what I think was his last winning tournament on a couple of really bad knees, praying for putts to go in (Pebble Beach 1994).

I don't like it when something happens and a minute or two later Johnny says, "I was going to say that . . .", which did happen at least twice this weekend.

I did almost fall out of my chair on Sunday at one point when he said words to the effect of "Now, I'm not always right . . ."

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

How about Miller comment when Tiger hit his third into the 16 green and ended up within 7 feet of the hole!

We wouldn't have a need to yell at the TV if Miller wasn't on...I like him!

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

OK, I'm feeling brave and ready to out myself: I generally like Johnny as well. Shock Horror. He is full of interesting little gems and insights but yes, sometimes he comes up with a doozy - remember the unintended insult to Rocco at the Open last year ('looks like they guy who cleans your pool' compared to Tiger, or whatever it was he said). I know what he was getting at but really *wince* ... (I've forgiven him ... )

So he puts his foot in his mouth occasionally. It's human, it's endearing, it's entertaining and occasionally irritating but at least he's candid and not a mealy-mouth ..... I value that a lot.

Also his voice is soothing, sometimes I almost fall aslee.....

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

how many times can one man finish a sentence with "huh Rog?"

This put breaks 3.75" to the left, huh Rog?

the other one that gets me is how he always says what the player is looking at: "He's looking about 4' left of the tower."

There's really no way to tell, the way optics work in those cameras.

He also had a couple where he told everyone that so and so was going to hit the high cut and there you go a slinging hook shows up....

I'm not a fan. I find him pompous, he truly believes that he's better than the current PGA players.

I've also met him...he's kind of an ass...think Don Johnson in Tin Cup.

Agreed - I like listening to Miller: he's brutally honest and that's what rubs folks the wrong way.

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

Some serious Miller bashing here... I respect your opinions but I just don't get it... I really like Miller and find him entertaining... I don't find him arrogant, although he does have skins on the wall... He calls it as he sees it, which is what he is paid to do... It's really an easy solution if you don't like the commentator: change the channel or hit the mute button... Worked great for me when ABC still covered golf on a regular basis

Re: Johnny Miller Master Thread

There's no difference between Miller or some of the posters of this forum. A drunken old golfer. lol jk

Feherty, McCord and Faldo are still my faves. Kelly can go fly a kite. :)
