For what it's worth, Jay Powell may not be polished as an announcer, and if you have only a casual interest in baseball, then he's not your guy, but I have really enjoyed the broadcast today.
the audactiy to say "he ought to drop this one" while it's a 15 footer... and when it lips out it's a mis read..
"just don't understand how he pulled that"....blah blah blah...
"just don't understand how he pulled that"....blah blah blah...
Morgan is on espn now for the Sox game...
and I wish someone would do the world a favor with a sniper rifle.

The guys on tour respect him for what a great player he was, but they dont give two ***** about him personally and dont like what he has to say. When the Ryder Cup was in Brookline he was very critical during the telecast about basically the play of every member on the team. Now, granted, they were playing like **** but he was over the line. They had heard what he had said after Friday's matches and the guys blew it of as Johnny being Johnny. Saturday, he was extremely critical of the teams play and was really calling some guys out personally. That is the night Crenshaw had the team meeting and basically told the guys everything Johnny had said that day. That is press conference when all Ben said was (pointing his finger) "I'm a big believer in fate". He knew how fired up they were about it. That Sunday morning, to a man, about 6 guys on the team told Johnny to go 17 himself when he came up and tried to talk to them on the range. Then after they came back and won every guy on the team told Johnny to 17 himself again. If fact, if you remember, Jimmy Roberts interviewd 4 or 5 guys greenside after they had closed their matches out, and the first thing the players mentioned was Johnny Miller and his comments over the course of week.
Constantly saying the he and his California boys are the best thing to ever happen to the PGA, and he praised how he was 10X better than Nicklaus, Trevino, and Player. This was happening in the late 70s while those 3 were in their prime. Just some more food for thought. I will later start a website telling NBC to fire this guy.
Maybe in the mid 70's, at which point it may have been true. But I agree you just don't say **** like that in golf, even if it's true.
