Totally Crossed the Line

Ric Reillys commentary at the end of tonights coverage

I dont normally go into announcer bashing but this guy crossed the line with me.

Did anyone else listen to his not supposed to happen comments his comments on Phil Michelson

and his wife Amy " bring the trophy to her hospital bed" Comments about David Duval selling insurance and wise remarks on Rocco Mediate for a moment of his own fame were totally rude.


I swear If I was Phil and heard those remarks regarding my wife I would punch him right in the mouth.

Well those are my opinions I hope people complain to ESPN personally I do not know how.

So what do you guys think?

I think you expect too much from the media. Most of them are idiots, enjoy the golf and turn off the sound.

I agree with you, BS that announcers are idiots, their job is to keep watchers entertained, provide a little interesting commentary and maybe explain things. You don't have to demean, insult or be rude to anyone to do any of those. Those announcers should show some respect, because where would they be if those golfers such as Phil, Duval and Rocco, were not playing?

Without a job.

I don't remember coverage of a major ever being so cheezy, stupid, and diluted.

 

If anyone wondered why Augusta keeps a chokehold on the media coverage of the Masters, this is a prime example of why they do it. Through the stupid comments made during ESPN coverage, the dumb spots having the golfers practice their "New York Accents", and the Ric Reilly coverage, the media has completely made a s***show out of the US Open this year. Minus the regular round coverage on NBC, they have completely processed the image of professional golf.

 

The Masters is proof positive that you can cash out on a major and generate a ton of publicity without catering to the complete idiots of the world who get their rocks off on cancer and lightnening strike jokes.

RR should stick to writing.

Mike Tirico, Scott Van Pelt and Andy North are great. Curtis Strange was never all that good in the booth, but he's certainly got the credentials. Chris Berman and Rick Reilly on the other hand have no business anywhere near a golf telecast, period.

 

ESPN should stick to what it does best these days, creating news instead of reporting it and covering the legal problems of athletes from every other sport.
