ofiba Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 He said no one watches hockey. That isn't the truth. He could have been like "Oh I don't really care, I'm more of a baseball guy" or something. Instead, he went out of his way to act like no one in the world watches hockey, which isn't true at all. It was an unnecessary pot shot. Geez...a black guy who grew up in California doesn't think much of hockey. Shock. Do you always wish for people to fail who don't think exactly the way you do? Thanks for post, Mein Fuhrer. Yeah, that's what I said. I don't care that he doesn't like hockey. I care that he went out of his way to bash it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't somebody ask him about it? Anyway, I guess you sure hated the finish yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just an FYI, you can watch the final round on espn360 if you get it at 11AM CDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Unbelievable. I watched golf for the first time ever yesterday to spend time with my dad, and I was actually riveted. I do feel bad for Rocco, part of me was pulling for him. And his reaction when Tiger hit that birdie was like, "dude, I'm done." I'm hoping Rocco can hang for 18 today, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is over early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely be tough for him...Just playing within the Tiger Circus is intimidating enough, but even more so when Rocco is hitting his drives 265 yds and Tiger is pounding them 320. Hell, Tiger can hit his 3-wood 290.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Why are they playing 18 holes today? Why didn't they play a sudden death hole yesterday when everyone could watch it? Why are there different rules for different tournaments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping Rocco can hang for 18 today, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is over early. Count me in the camp who believed Rocco would be done yesterday. He played unbelievably well under the circumstances -- the only guy among the top 3 to shoot par. He has a great attitude about it as well. A lot of folks believe it's a foregone conclusion Tiger wins going away today, but let's not forget about the knee as well. This will be the 5th consecutive day of playing, and he hasn't exactly been Mr. Consistency out there. I will be genuinely happy for whichever guy takes home the trophy -- Tiger because he's, well, Tiger, and has provided so much incredible drama during this tournament, and Rocco because this is probably his last shot at a major and he's such a likable guy. He has also played his ass off. The guy I felt badly for was Westwood. He really hung in there and battled to the very end -- I think he's the only guy all week who didn't make worse than a bogey on any hole. Getting the DVR set up to tape today's events...can't wait.

SD Jarhead Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Why are they playing 18 holes today? Why didn't they play a sudden death hole yesterday when everyone could watch it? Why are there different rules for different tournaments? USGA rules for this tournament. It's different than most others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Why are they playing 18 holes today? Why didn't they play a sudden death hole yesterday when everyone could watch it? Why are there different rules for different tournaments? Different rules are due to the different organizations that run the tournaments. The USGA runs the Open, so they make the rules. Before 1926, the golfer played 36 holes on 2 days. In 1927, they played 18, 18 then 36 on day three. then in 1965, they started playing 18 over 4 days. The 18 hole playoff has always been the practice. Personally, I like the British Open playoff ..4 holes aggregrate score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes away the "fluke" factor of a sudden death playoff, yet gets the tournament over on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What you can't? I thought everyone could. I can hit my 3 wood 200 yards. My driver about 75 yards. I don't even use my driver anymore. Just a 3 wood and irons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
