Because we dominate golf now and don't worry about this nonsense.

How many prayer circles have the USians done so far this week. The over/under is 12.
Euros gained a point today. Must go 7-5 tomorrow. Not infeasible. Ole, ole ole ole.

I can't watch the Ryder Cup because of the constant "team" cliches you'll hear every 2 minutes.
It's fucking golf. It is not a team sport.
Oh, and the American jingoism which is why the rest of the world hates us... blah blahb lhah.

Why are the Europeans sucking. They are not. The Unisted Staes is better. This time. Even without Eldrick "Tiger" Woods. And because golf has evolved into such a worldwide sport there is no way the Ryder Cup should be the United States against Europe because there are players from too many countries the United States is competing against. I would prefer a Davis Cup like team competition in golf with perhaps 5 players per country competing against each other with winning teams advancing to the finals and then playing for the championship. The truth is the Ryder Cup has nothing on the Davis Cup because it's not one county against the other it's the United States against Europe.

There aren't that many countries with 5 good players, though. US, England, Australia, Spain (maybe?), Ireland (maybe?), and some of the Asian countries with players we never hear of because they play the Asian tours.
The Ryder Cup is an event for all of the reasons that Johnny Mac and others feel the Davis Cup isn't: it's one weekend, once every two years. That makes it special.

There's already the World Cup thing where 2 players from each country compete. And there's only like 10 countries that are competitive with that.
That, and everyone wants to play the Ryder Cup. No matter the format, that will still be an issue. But, still, it would be a lot better off as some 2-week gathering where all countries play in late November, or something.

The Davis Cup would be better received if it was played over a 2 week period every year instead of playing it over 4 seperate weeks a year. But it's almost impossible to schedule it that way. For me the Davis Cup is important while the Ryder Cup isn't nearly as important. I just don't like the Ryder Cup format of having so many countries involved and it being played every other year. Phil Mickelson is coming up small again in Ryder Cup today. But the USA looks to be in good shape leading in 6 of the matches today while trailing in 2 and being even in 2 other matches.

The Ryder Cup is less important to you because golf is less important to you. Welcome to the frustration of being a tennis fan. Anyway. Blah, congrats USA.

Tennis is far more important to me, and the Ryder Cup is easily more important, even though I hate the format and everything around it. I'm confused now.

Because more people in America watch it? Okay so the only team even in the history of any sport that has players from one country playing against players from many countries is some great sporting event? I say no. Give me the United States against the United Kingdom or the United States against Spain in golf and I would enjoy that more than the Ryder Cup because it's country verus country. And that's the advantage the Davis Cup will always have over the Ryder Cup and it's bemusing format. By the way I did watch some of the Ryder Cup and was rooting for us (U.S). We won and that's good. But I think there's too much golf played over 3 days. I should be used to the Ryder Cup format by now but I'm not.

I guess tennis will always be in golf's shadow in America. That's too bad because it's a better individual sport and it's a better team sport.

That's why Tigre gets all the ladies. Rough ladies.

Even if Tiger sucks, I fear this will be a redemption week. As long as he doesn't completely ignore his teammates or gets caught having sex.

I fully support golfists being barred from Twatter and Friendface, now if only they could be removed from the telly as well that would be even better.

He's divorced now, so he can have as much sex as he wants to now without it interfering with any Redemption. As long as it's not with animals, children, or men, I suppose.

Even the radio is talking about "some British [sic] golfer" talking trash at Tigre during "whatever big event is this week...the Players Championship? Or something." Also Tigre's FL porn star is going to sell Vivid their sex tape with 37 minutes of intercourse. I'm saving $1 per day.

Ah.
I'm starting to miss tv all of a sudden. I think it's the rain and the early darkness that makes me want to press a button and mindlessly veg out in front of a larger and even more mindless machine than this one. I have a sudden hankering to stare at earnest weatherfolks in front of their maps, and maybe even look in on some Ryder Cup.

I know. It's as goofy as holding the Olympics in the USA's Deep South in July, which also happened. It's all about who comes up with the $$$, €€€ or £££, and not about what makes sense.
