One More Masters Hour Is Good Enough for Me
The folks down at Augusta National - i.e., Billy Payne - have decided there will be another hour of Masters coverage on Thursday and Friday next year. Instead of going from 4-7:30pm ET, ESPN will broadcast from 3-7:30pm ET. Some complaints have been raised since the tablets came down from Mt....
To No Surprise, Mickelson Skips Out on PGA Grand Slam
From the moment Phil Mickelson sank that emotional last putt to take his third Masters, his place in the PGA of America's million dollar, four player Grand Slam of Golf was secure. Securely vacant. Mickelson has expressed his disinterest in the silly season tournament previously, despite having...
Someone Tell Phil Mickelson About the Krispy Kreme in San Diego
After the world melted at the sight of the loving embrace between newly-crowned Masters winner Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy, our food-obsessed country goo-gooed some more when a lady at the Krispy Kreme donuts drive-thru in Augusta, GA, snapped a photo of Mickelson coming through to pick up some...
Waggle Room Was at the Masters More Than the BB-Freakin'-C
I went to the Masters. There's video proof of it. There's picture proof of it. It was one day, but I was there. Surely, the BBC was there to cover it, too. A worldwide leader in journalism, who has only been massively had on one particular occasion (::snickers::), would obviously be all over a...
When Did Golf Get So Interesting?
I was always told that in order to play or be interested in golf, you had to be a middle-aged white guy, wear goofy pants, and have a huge ass. At some point in the last six months, though - probably the day after Thanksgiving - golf got a whole lot more compelling. Sure, Tiger Woods' horde of...
Why Sean McManus' Visions for Masters Grandeur Never Came True
CBS Sports and News President Sean McManus - who once emailed me like three years ago to talk about a column I did ripping CBS coverage, quite the thrill for a punk kid writing on the Internet - made a pretty bold prediction about the ratings for the Masters provided Tiger Woods' return to the...
VIDEO: If Gus Johnson Called the Masters
Just one final Masters-related post for you before we move on to Harbour Town and the Mojo6 (that you won't find out about anyway until May). Given how maligned Jim Nantz's way too prepared call of the NCAA basketball national title game, it almost seemed right to see how Gus Johnson would do...
Feel Like A Southern Bazillionaire & Buy This Augusta National Green Jacket
The way that you know someone is a member of Augusta National during the Masters is that they are wearing a green jacket. (They're very polite and helpful, but man, do they gotta feel that it is beneath them when I ask them to point the way to the nearest phone bank.) Champs get green jackets. ...
We Have Jim Nantz's Cliche Sketchbook from the Masters
Waggle Room has exclusively obtained the doodling paper that CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz used on the night before the final round of the Masters to determine which cliche he would use depending on who won the Masters. It is a revealing find.
Why Phil Mickelson Had To Go For It on Thirteen
The more and more I think back about that shot - the shot of the 2010 Masters - it just seems like Phil Mickelson had no choice but to go for it out of the pine straw on the par 5 13th. Don't take me literally. Mickelson could have chipped out, and he said as much in his post-round press...
