US Open, Round 1

Watching it, but not paying much attention to it. It's good to see non-superstars at the top of the leaderboard. I hope it continues past today. As for the 'supergroup' - that Jimmy Roberts in his sports report talked about the 'supergroup' but only talked about Woods and Mickelson. Not a word about Adam Scott. I still don't know what he shot today. Personally, I am happy to see Mickelson end up one shot better than Woods. Odd that no one is talking about it all that much. But if Tiger had shot the better score, we the golf watchers would never hear the end of it. I can't really talk about the leaderboard right now since there's a couple more hours of play to go and it is far from being set in stone for the day. I will probably be behind the whole week since they are playing so late.

Speaking of being behind, this morning I caught some of last night's Live from show on the golf channel. I think it was the second day in a row that they repeated themselves when talking about Tiger's knee. It's ridiculous. They are saying the same things over and over just so they can say Tiger's name. Either get some new Tiger news to talk about or shut the heck up. There are about 140+ other golfers they could be talking about this week.

Finally, yay - Mike Tirico's back. He is a very good golf announcer and it's a shame he doesn't do more of it. Also glad to hear Judy Rankin, Andy North, and Terry Gannon. Not happy to hear ESPN Carl.
