Jim Nantz Grows a Pair, Rips Tiger Woods for Swearing
Jim Nantz is mildly annoyed, and isn’t going to take it anymore. I’m talking about the normally bland and corporate CBS announcer’s reaction to Tiger Woods‘ series of verbal outbursts during this year’s Masters. In a break with his usual nutless form, Nantz ripped into Tiger, telling WFAN’s Mike Francesa:
If I said what he said on the air, I would be fired. I read in the USA Today and it was called “mild language.” Someone on my broadcast dismissed it as him having a camera in his face. Well, guess what? Phil Mickelson had a camera in his face all week and did you even hear him come close to approaching that? He didn’t hit every shot the way he wanted. Have you ever heard Arnold Palmer or Jack Nicklaus use that kind of language? What are the parameters between what’s right or wrong?
In defense of Tiger: Nicklaus and Palmer played in the centuries before television or profanity were invented, and Mickelson…let’s just say, whatever he takes to mellow before teeing-off, it’s obviously stronger than what Tiger takes. But to be serious for a moment – I think Nantz has a point. Tiger did promise everyone he would stop swearing, and what he did do? Swore. This is naturally going to make people wonder what other promises Tiger is breaking. How about that promise to not be an adulterous shithead anymore? If Tiger keeps that one as well as he kept the swearing one, Elin is going to have another go at him with a 7-iron. Clearly, Tiger’s golf self-discipline is much stronger than his mouth and penis self-discipline. Perhaps Buddhism can help. Or growing the hell up.

I’m extremely inspired together with your writing abilities as well as with the structure for your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it your self? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is uncommon to look a nice blog like this one today..
Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the net the easiest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as folks consider concerns that they plainly don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
