British Open
Posted by TFG on July 17th, 2005
It’s nice to get up on Sunday morning and have live sport on the teevee. And have the leaders already on the course. Now I only have to get through four hours of the doofus announcers saying claret jug every 2 minutes.
Looks like, too, that the top golfing dudes are destroying the Old Course. 12 under for a major seems wacky. It would be fun to have a tournament to make these guys play with persimmon woods and blade irons. Preferably do it on one of these Scottish goat ranches, too.
ZZZZZZ UPDATE: Zzzzzzz…. The only thing enjoyable about that was the British Airways commercial that featured cricket. Speaking of the cricky, does anyone know of any package for Dish Network that has a cricket channel? It can’t possibly be that far out in left field. And I mean for a little less than $250 for one bloody series. A FoxSportsNet-Midlands or something like that?

FoxSports World used to have it periodically. I got into it a couple years ago when they showed a series or whatever they call it. I don’t get it anymore as part of my package, so I haven’t seen if they still have it.

You want to watch cricket?!?
Well done, there is hope for you yet.

I’m a long-time cricket fan. Somewhere around here is a Nottinghamshire County club hat.

Baseball on downers?
Kidding. I lived in Nottingham for six months and needed a live sports fix. Cricket were it. Soaked up as much as I could in three or four months. Still love the game.

Any idea why Peter Allis is so revered? Aside from a truly comprehensive knowledge of cliche’s, what exactly does he bring to the table?
