The Most ANNOYING "Guy" in the World
2004-06-21 15:42
Ok, I don't watch golf much, but I do try to watch the major tournaments. I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to do that any longer, as the gallery screamers grate on my nerves like nothing else. I don't know when it began, but this need to yell, "you're the man" right at the moment of club hitting ball is just about the most ridiculous thing a man can do. Throw in that the guy doing it is usually some preppy dork who shoots 100, himself, with the only quality drive he's capable of producing is when he motors his Ford Expedition, with Bush/Cheney bumper stickers, down the Cul-de-sac. Sports history is littered with pathetic attempts at trying to transcend being just a fan, but actually being mental enough that you think you are part of the real action is just looney. (See Spike Lee dressed in Knicks jersey, sitting in front row, agitating Reggie Miller during many 1990's playoff games, for best example) I'm not one that thinks golfers should perform in some kind of sound-proof gallery, like some traditionalists do, but this "you're the man" stuff is just delusional self-aggrandizing. I would be curious if there is anything more annoying in sports than the "you're the man" guy. Please list your suggestions.
