News Flash! Middle Aged White Guy Sits Around Watching Golf

I generally have a real disdain for golf, both because it serves as a kind of crack cocaine for rich guys, and because when I see it on television it makes about as much sense as cricket. However, this year's U.S. Open was fantastic. Consider the following:

1) The championship came down to two guys named "Rocco" and "Tiger," neither of which is a typical golf name (ie, "Thurston" or "Sterling").

2) Rocco and Tiger actually look like athletes.

3) In the end, these two played a full 18-hole playoff, and then they tied that, leading to a sudden death win on the seventh hole for Tiger.

4) After the match, Rocco and some other Bloods were attacked by Crips (this often happens when they have the Open in Southern California), and then Tiger came and did some amazing jujitsu moves, saving Rocco and sending the attackers to a spectacular death in the Pacific Ocean some 100 feet below.

Comments:
NBC cut away from coverage just as the Crips were running out on the green. Is it on Youtube or something?
 
Someone should have told Rocco and Tiger it's not wise to wear red shirts when playing at TP, which was built on top of an ancient burial ground for Crip royalty. Especially on Mondays, which is traditionally visitation day at the site.
 
You know, some of us stateside like to watch a cricket match or two... you know, when we have 3 spare days. :)
