Non golfer culture critic professes love for Golf Channel

[nevets88]

This is from slate.com, the last place I'd ever expect an article like this. Cynical me says there's some kind of Comcast-NBC-Slate.com tit for tat going on. Here are some quotes:

Yet after a week of watching the Golf Channel, I’m a convert—not to the sport, but to the channel’s celebration of full-on, no-holds-barred, nothing-too-nerdy, knowledge-dropping expertise, packaged in familiar, cozy TV formats.

Whether the discussions happen around the anchor desk or in the comfy chairs of the conversation pit, Morning Drive segments are long and nerdy.

Even in the middle of the day or the early hours of the morning, the commercials are the classy kind every network dreams of, pushing cars, banks, hotels, resorts, and all manner of golf gear.

IMHO, Golf Channel is not nerdy enough.
