Yeah, there's a lot, but there are always more commercial breaks on Sunday (especially afternoon) because there are fewer people on the golf course that matter, so the routine is something along the lines of Player A takes a shot. Player B takes a shot. Commercial while Players A & B walk to their balls. Repeat for 8 holes.

Besides, on NBC, it's always a relief to get a commercial break because at least then you don't have to hear Johnny Miller talk for 90 seconds. So look on the bright side.

This one was on CBS, so commercials gave you a break from Jim Nantz, a particularly worthless media specimen. Never at a loss for a cliche, that one.

I'll take Johnny Miller over Lanny Wadkins everyday of the week. I thought Curtis Strange was awful, but Lanny is just as bad. Just nonstop meaningless babble.

So Johnny Miller annoys / aggravates you also, with his inane comments?

I usually really enjoy Nantz's comments but he seemed a bit snarky Sunday, less professional, more peevish / cranky. In fact, some of the others were on the bash the players bandwagon. It wasn't seriously egregious, as is the case with some of the other network gripelings, but it made me wonder if they'd gotten enough sleep the night before.

And then the tourny was called for weather. I'm just glad Phil won.
