Running Diary (sort of) of the U.S. Open

9:36 am - God it's early. Can't sleep, so decided to do running log of U.S. Open. Today we're at beautiful Oakmont Golf Course in Pennsylvania. And by beautiful I mean completely unnecessary and ridiculous. Any course that plays like this for professional golfers should be destroyed. Anyway, we'll see how far we can go with this.

9:38 am - Tied for the best moment so far: the guy who holed his second shot...in a hole in the practice green...that was a part of the same green as number nine, which led our rules expert telling us that the rule is "play it as it lies" (bitchiest rule in sports, easily), and the fact that Sergio Garcia is 7 over before the turn. He's the Andy Roddick of golf.

9:42 am - Well, ESPN is broken right now, so i get to watch NFL coverage on First Take, formerly known as Cold Pizza. I hate this. Alot. It's June, we shouldn't be talking about football. Also, just found out that the Bills starting DT wont play for us this year. Stupid Techmo Super Bowl.

9:45 am - Back to golf, just in time to see Retief Goosen blow a put and Ernie Els stop a chip long as the announcer warns him not to go long. Cut then straight to Geoff Ogilvy and Monty. That's four foreigners in a row if you're keeping track.

9: 48 am - Jesus Christ! The rough behind the second hole looks like it belongs to some white trash family. How is this fun? Does anyone look forward to this course, or do people just start praying in January?

9:50 - more technical difficulties, so back to First Take with...Skip Bayless! My god I hate Skip Bayless. No one gets more indignant quicker, no one relies on gimmicks and stupid nicknames faster. He also seems to conveniently criticize every high profile black athlete that comes by...oh right, so does everyone on ESPN. My bad.

9:55 - Still difficulties, He Got Game and Gilmore Girls both start in five minutes. This might become a very different running log.

10 am - and now FX is out! Get ready to hear about the Gilmore Girls wacky adventures in Stars Hollow!

This AmEx commercial forgoes the necessity for creativity by showing FAMOUS PEOPLE! LOOK IT'S ELLEN AND ANDRE AGASSI IN THE SAME ROOM! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wow, Milla Jovavich and Rosario Dawson are in this movie? Sorry U.S. Open. That was fun and all, but this takes precedent.
