💬 Former Tider's At The U S Open This Weekend.

I guess he gets the call for the Open because Fox doesn't dip their toe in the golf water that often. But Buck is overexposed and his face time far exceeds his abilities. Just to put all the big events on the shoulders of one guy doesn't say much about who's waiting in the bullpen.

That last thought crossed my mind earlier as well. Who else do they go to besides Buck? Chris Meyers? He's more suited for baseball if you (they) asked me.

Pardon the use of a golf term, but it sure seems Fox Sports is the landing area, or the waste area, we see a lot of guys fall. There's simply not a lot of talent to be found. (Think about that...Cowherd, Brado, et al.)

So many complain about Verne, but he's pretty damn good at events like this one.

I don't necessarily dislike Jim Nance, he's extremely versatile, but why must he call every event on CBS's schedule?

I like Nantz in golf coverage. I likely don't get exposed to him as much as others due to me not watching the NFL. What's he doing now? I think it's Thursday night and Sunday's, isn't it?

Here's an example of overexposure for me. I've found some of Chris Fowler's commentary on Twitter to be entertaining and informative in the football season. It stops there. I know he's a BIG tennis fan, but I don't want to know what's going on in the world of professional tennis. It's just not my thing.

Agree, to me he's better at this than football. CBS + SEC = Verne overload.

Thoughts?

Joe Buck: Sergio says "pull the chain on his downstroke. I don't know what he means by that."

Translation: I don't know the game of golf.

As much hate as Buck gets, he was pretty funny and not afraid to take some swings thrown his way on the IFC series Brockmire, a few months back. They also threw some shit at Musberger but he did not actually show up to take his medicine.

That was almost a very funny episode. If really like Joe Buck, I would have really liked that episode.

Still, that's a great series. It did get picked up for second season, right?

It was picked up for a second season before the series premiered. I can't say I've ever heard of such.

It was a pretty good finish with another 20 something winning a major. It does make you wonder if any of these young bucks are going to separate themselves from the pack and have a Tiger-like career? The worst of the tournament had to be that freakin prop plane. Day after day it went buzzing through the course. Buck said because it was unrestricted air space there was nothing they could do about it. I didn't see the plane, perhaps he had a banner on it, but I was wishing after the second day that someone had followed him back to the hangar and decommissioned it for him.

IFC does not have a ton of successful series, so not like they had too much competition. Also, Azaria, they know he can make a show last, right Moe?

He's perfect in that role. Hard to imagine anyone who can play it as well as he...Like Bob Odenkirk in BCS.

If I see he's starring in a role in a movie/TV show he's one of a handful of actors that will draw me. Add Amanda Peet? Yeppers.
