Johnny Miller Master Thread - Page 5

I agree now.

Rodger: ITs going to break to the right.
Miller: How Much?
Rodger: UGH! ITs going to break some
Miller: How many feet?
Rodger: I dont know!
Nantz: (Mockingly) How many inches Rodger?

I got a kick out of his comment before Anthony Kim's birdie putt on 17... something like, "if he misses this one it's because he either pulled it or pushed it or left it short."

I know he was making the point that AK should know the line because he'd just seen Furyk's putt, but it reminded me of one of the running jokes in my Sunday scramble match... "if we get the right speed and the right line on this putt, we have a good chance of making it."

Okay, I know there are a million "Johnny Miller sucks" threads . . .

. . . but I'm sitting here watching The BMW and I swear he's getting worse. He's slurring his speech more than usual. He's going off on random tangents. And he's clearly bugging the crap out of the other announcers.

Roger Maltbie has been dismissive to Miller all day. And even Gary Koch and Dan Hicks seem frustrated.

The incident I just watched involved Maltbie telling a story about why Anthony Kim chokes up on his clubs. Miller interrupts and the following exchange occurs [paraphrased]:

Miller: "You guys on the East Coast call it choking up. We call it choking down here out West. I think we are more accurate."

The 'isn't that right Dottie' is hillarious....hahaha good one!

Maltbie [annoyed]: "Uhhhh, okay."

Hicks [to Miller]: "You've got rights to that 'choking' word, so we're going to stay out of it."

Miller: "Well, I'm not sure how to take that, but thank you."

[Miller goes off on a tangent about how older balls used to spin a lot more.]

[camera goes back to AK]

Maltbie [still annoyed]: Okay, there's a good look at Kim choking up or down or whatever you want to call it.

Many years ago, I used to like Miller. But for the past 5 or so (maybe longer), he's virtually unintelligible ... and more than virtually annoying. I swear, he sounds half-drunk sometimes. And even the other announcers seem to be getting increasingly fed up with him. (And it's not the good-natured ribbing like you see between buddies Gary McCord and David Feherty.)

Anyway, I know this issue is beating a dead horse, but Miller seems particularly bad today. It makes me want to mute the audio. Too bad I don't speak Spanish - I would use the SAP button.

Oh well, at least he hasn't said "Isn't that right Dottie?" a million times today.

I didn't catch much of the BMW Championship, but I was able to see some of round 2/3. Sergio Garcia was in the rough and Miller was criticizing how Sergio brings the club from the inside into impact. Because of this Sergio is more likely to hit the ball fat...

Does he know Sergio is one of the best ball strikers ever?

What makes it funnier is that he continued saying that to make good contact in the rough he needs to come "over the top" like J.B. Holmes. LOL I don't even know where to begin with this statement.

What he means by that is that a golfer with a more upright swing has a better chance of catching more ball out of the rough compared to a player like Garcia who comes into the ball on a flatter plane. By coming in on a flatter plane, more grass will come in between the club and ball.

Okay, I think you should e-mail Sergio and tell him to swing steeper because his ball striking isn't good enough.

I e-mailed Sergio like you suggested and he said " Gracious " ! :)
