I like Chris Berman...for football.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I'm not a Berman fan. Not hard to tune him out though. My wife's been yapping for 45 minutes so it's hard to hear him

Yeah he tries to be comical but it never is funny...

Not a Berman fan, either. He's OK in football, nothing special, but for golf, someone give me the T.V. remote for the MUTE button. Maltbie and Andy North are fine. Along with Rolfing. I don't have a problem with them. Berman kills it though since he's ALWAYS talking!!!

I LOVED Berman while I was in college in the late 90s. NFL primetime with he and Tom Jackson was my favorite show on TV.

Now, I can't even stand him for NFL football. The guy is washed up, and thinks he is larger than life. Therefore, he doesn't properly prepare anymore, he goes out and wings it using the same tired lines and trying to make a narrative out of absolutely everything. For other sports like baseball and golf, its even worse because those were never his strong points. The big problem is that he is God at ESPN, being one of the originals, so he seems to get to call whatever he wants to, and no one with any association with ESPN is allowed to critique him.

The sad part is that Mike Tirico is a play by play guy that KNOWS golf, and should have been in the booth. He and Scott VanPelt would have made a very capable crew for ESPN, but fatso Berman had to throw his weight around and take the seat.

For all of those Johnny Miller haters, I hope you took note of the two different broadcasts today.

lol fescue club was a joke because one of the other guys called it the rescue club and he was in the fescue so....... it was a stupid joke but whatever.

They aren't that bad on the whole, though I do prefer NBC. JM isn't that bad. sometimes he says some stupid things but who doesn't?

Chris Bermann just said this: "

He was referring to when Weir hit a good shot with his hybrid in the fescue the time before(more or less asking if that was the same club). Give them a break the coverage is good.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
