NBC needs humor

jwalaballa · May 9, 2010

I am overall impressed with NBC's golf coverage this year (the current exception being an utter failure at showing anything from Zach Johnson's round today), but the one thing that seems to be missing is a funny guy. Johnny Miller is not funny. Dan Patrick tries to be witty at times, but he's not part of the real telecast. The closest they come to a humorous personality seems to be Peter Jacobsen. However I feel like "Jake" is in a constant interview to keep his spot, and therefore holds back. Could Jacobsen bring some color to NBC's telecast? Does anyone else find themselves missing some humor in the coverage?

I'd like to hear more from Faxon.

And I'm waiting for Rocco to get behind a mic, again ... he was fantastic.

I agree. Whenever Rocco is ready to pick up the mic again, every network should have one waiting for him.

Dan Patrick needs to lose the suit.

It would be amazing if DP did coverage, but that won't happen. Johnny Miller is a doosh, but I love the guy. He calls it like he sees it and is downright hillarious IMO.

Nope. NBC needs to keep on doing what it is doing. Best 4 hour nap I have had in a long time.

I did wake up for Clark's last 3 holes though.

What, you don't think hearing Johnny Miller talking about hitting a "skanky fade" is funny? :russian_roulette: Man, is he brutal. Just brutal.

I agree they could use a bit of humor. Aside from Johnny interrupting Garry to circle a putting graphic that takes up a 4th of your TV, (just in case you didn't see it) it was a bland presentation.

:cheesy:

Johnny: Clark's going with the three metal here on the four par. I think he's going to play some sort of cut. You just want a short stainless-steel into the green and hope for a slice putt.
