A Funny Video Look at the Contenders for the US Open

by Ryan Ballengee on Jun 17, 2009 12:59 AM EDT Comment 11 comments

Rather than waste your time with a video preview about the US Open that you could get from anywhere else, I figured I would try to be educational and funny all at once. What better way to explain the contenders at the US Open to people who don't know much about golf than with sock puppets?

Well, I've said too much already. Just watch the video.

Haha, it took a lot less time than I expected.

Should I put up a translation for the Angel Cabrera part?

Well, supposedly his translator sometimes doesn’t actually respond with what Cabrera says. So that might be funny.

Haha, but you don’t like my random comparisons. Should I add impersonations to the list?

hmm – probably a good idea. I always cracked up when Dan Patrick would try to do an impersonation – his producer would always say it was Dan doing Jimmy Stewart doing…whoever he was trying to impersonate – they always sounded alike.

Haha, I definitely was not trying to do a good impersonation. I’m terrible at that. My faux-British and Australian accents would offend anyone from those countries. Surprisingly, my French accent is accurate.
