I personally think that every event should be commentated by Jim Nantz. To me he is the classiest commentator of all. He is still accurate but, not as brutal as Johnny Miller.

Yeah...I agree.

Have any of you seen the YouTube video of Chris Berman cussing out someone off camera? What an ass.

Yeah, I have. The guy is a joke.

I think they are showing live video coverage on espn.com. not positive though.

Thanks. They're showing the Woods/Mickelson/Scott group only

Whatever, I'll take it!

Yeah, but he doesn't work for every network. That's kind of silly. IMO he's over-rated these days anyways. I actually don't think Johnny Miller is bad... sure he's a bit arrogant and dry but he really does know his stuff.

Haven't seen it but I'm not surprised. Back in the day, much like everyone else, I liked him quite a bit when he did SportsCenter. He really is a horrible announcer. I'm not even sure he knows anything about sports.

ESPN needs to stick to SportsCenter and never do golf again. They suck at televising it and Chris Berman sucks at commentating it.

Leave it to the real golf people at NBC.

I will say the quality of the picture looks a little better on my TV on ESPN than NBC but that's a moot point.

NBC HD LOOKS FANTASTIC.

Everytime I hear Chris Berman talking about golf I think of his HORRIBLE round at Pebble . . . you could see his plumber crack THROUGH his golf shirt. NOW THAT'S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!

holy crap Tiger has made so many clutch par save putts today.

He really has. That's the one thing he can work on with a bum knee.

Nice little comeback from Phil.

Tiger has had some awesome par saves today. That's what is keeping him in it. I think you're going to see a different Tiger tomorrow after he gets the first round under his belt.

NBC still doesn't look as clear on my TV as ESPN does, maybe just my TV though? I'll still take golf on NBC anyday over ESPN. I have HD as well.

When I switched from ESPN (not HD) to NBC HD today, the difference was big. The picture was much sharper and you see much more gleam of the grass. You can see the skin melanoma on the older guys. . .

I believe the reason why the coverage was so spotty was some sort of agreement with the USGA and just which networks get to carry how many hours of coverage. By putting all the extra stuff in there ESPN could claim that they really weren't showing the tourny live - just highlights live - until their regularly alotted broadcast time.

There's the winner. Right on. It's called "U.S. Open Extra" for a reason. It's "extra."

Yeah, I wouldn't trade my HDTV for anything, but it does have its downsides

My ESPN and NBC are both in HD. I'm watching on ESPN right now and it's still clearer than NBC on my TV.

I agree Tiger is hurting but I still think he will do better today and be in contention on Sunday.
