That’s the face of a man who had to sell his Liverpool EFL cup tickets so he could spend an evening on live television playing tummy sticks with Rory McIlroy.
I tried telling you guys the TGL was trash but nobody believed me. I’ve been getting hate mail sent to the Sterk Family Farms email inbox telling me I’m a moron. People stopping me at the grocery store and even refusing me bar service. All because I hate the simulator league concept and the forced banter and the fact it’s just a lame thing to watch. That’s what I said and now the golf nerds are trying to silence me.
It’s never going to happen. It’s a stupid idea and you can’t intimidate me out of that position. Blow me.
Please?
On the subject of which, Rory McIlroy won’t be silenced either. He responded yesterday to Charley Hoffman’s letter and needless to say Rory isn’t taking shit from anyone. Especially when your best major finish is T-8 from 7 years ago.
Golf has created so much juicy drama over the last couple years. We knew Tiger changed the landscape of powerful athletes in golf. But what happened to all the cool guys? The old PGA tour was full of sandbagging puss hounds that cranked heaters and drank around the clock. Now we just have guys whining about pace of play and rule enforcement and facebook engagement. It’s just so lame and then that breeds more lame sensibilities in the fanbase and on it goes. One big circle of – you guessed it – being LAME.
There’s a reason John Daly is a legend. Maybe give that guy a TGL team and get out of the fucking way with the controversy.
PS – For real though if TGL ran back the sim league with legends and cool people that talk real shit, then I think we’re onto something, Justin Rose be damned.
