    I usually watch Univision for the big guns on the news anchors and weathergirls. But I will try.
    MileHigh, I got into it upthread, no need to rehearse the argument again.
    Short story, the presentation is a little too English for my tastes.

    I think that's right. He could have been a touch closer, but the idea was to keep him outside his left shoulder and cut down the shot. Perfectly acceptable defense.

    English accents. Fart friggin HATES English accents. I believe that's the gist of it.
     
  5. Soccer fans think they are sophisticated by the idea of ESPN using English commentators to "class up" its coverage. It's similar to PBS viewers who believe they are "sophisticated" for watching bawdy BBC comedies.

    Yeah. It's like nature shows almost always having a guy with the most dignified British regional accent.

    Lots of guys can hit a 5-iron from 220 yards to 6 feet. Only a select few can do it on the 72nd hole of a major.

    I can only hit a 5-iron 185 yards.

    Back when I could hit a 5-iron it was my 180 club.

    That's certainly not terrible. My 16-year-old can simply crush a golf ball, so my frame of reference could be skewed.

    It was an excellent ball, but curling it over the shoulder of the last defender is what you are taught to do. Simple idea, well executed,but not mind blowing.
