2010 U.S. Open Second Question: "The Human Vuvuzela"
/Mercifully my AmEx television battery died out from excessive use on Thursday and Friday, so I missed out on Chris Berman's first ground control to major Toms, but boy did I hear from folks on Twitter and via email.
John Strege joins the Berman fan club list:
Last week, I suggested that ESPN's Chris Berman on golf telecasts was not as bothersome as the vuvuzelas that plague the World Cup experience for so many.
Upon further review...
Berman is a human vuvuzela, an incessant noisemaker and irritant that eventually has you reaching for the mute button.
After Thursday's telecast, I noted it was a good one if only because we didn't hear "ground control to David Toms."
Then, as if on cue on Friday, "We go to the 17th hole," Berman said, "where on the tee is ground control to David Toms."
Question: Is there anyone who finds Berman on golf (or anything else, for that matter) tolerable?
That works for me as a question. Or, who at the USGA actually tolerates a man who makes a mockery of their championship for the hours he's on the air?
