Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

SPURRIER PISSES ON AUGUSTA.

Golf is a worthless game, and nothing approximating a sport. It's croquet with more expensive equipment; it's hockey without defenders, ice, and with an undersized goal. It's hurling for sissies. If given the choice between watching an entire golf tournament or being kicked in the balls and then being free to leave, we'd take the Rochambeau happily. Adding twenty bucks to the offer on the golf side adds nothing.

We hate hate hate hate hate hate hate golf.

We also hate it because we remain convinced that without its siren song, Steve Spurrier's offense would have actually invented, implemented, and perfected every possible offensive scheme in the years between 1990 and 2000 and averaged eighty points a game, instead of merely obliterating most opponents by twenty-eight and only winning one national championship.

Damn whoever sent this to Will Leitch first--but Steve Spurrier just did the only worthwhile thing that's ever happened in the history of the game, aside from that time Colin Montgomerie raped a chicken in front of a cheering crowd during the U.S. Open.

Steve Spurrier pissed on Augusta National.


Spurrier improves the game of golf by one zillion percent. Golf sucks.

Two things:

1. Golf is all I have this time of year and it gets me to football season. You are wrong OS.
2. Taking a leak on a golf course requires at least getting back into the tree’s to do so. Standing on the edge and pissing in is no good. Nobody wants to watch thanks.

Alcohol would be a better investment of your time. At least you cut your risk of skin cancer while keeping the best part of golf: drinking.

I too have pissed on the Augusta National, but I was a lot more discreet about it, as I was pretty sure I was going to be arrested if I was caught.

Hmmmm something smells like asparagus.

1. That is assuming you are drinking indoors, Orson.

2. FYI, the original photos on Deadspin have Spurrier posing with the caddie in front of #4 at ANGC in the second photograph.

It appears that the photo was taken on the right side of the #5 fairway.

3. This caddie is a dumbass, because everyone will know he did it, and former chairman, and USC alum and former player, Hootie will be sufficiently pissed. I hope the anonymous 5 minutes of fame was worth it, dipshit, because you are about to lose the opportunity to play on Caddie Day, which as in CaddieShack, also exists at the ANGC.

Before my two kids,I used to play quite often. I would often tell friends that were looking to take up the game to consider cocaine instead as it is cheaper and less addictive.

Orson, is there a sport other than football that you enjoy? The only other references to other sports I recall reading on here are to basketball (hate) and now golf (hate).

I doubt that the Evil Genius cares if anyone sees him relieving the lizard. Hell, he’d do it on the sideline if they let him.

BTW, a hearty “Hear Hear” about your comments on Golf.

Did your Father spend time playing Golf instead of giving you any attention? Why the hate?

We love:

We respect:

Umm…there’s some more, we think.

Damn, Swindle, I think Golf touched you in your bathing suit area when you were a wee lad.

Is Fulmer Cup or Friday Cheesecake a sport?

Hookem, there’s probably a whole good piece in there about why we hate golf. Game for next week, anyone, on our opus about why we hate golf? Or is that too autobiographical?

Oh, and personal things aside—it’s boring as shit, and we’ve got a serious case of nagging ADD. Geology’s sexy in comparison.

Bullfighting on acid?

by drogue on May 18, 2007 4:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Drogue—yes. Especially if the bull’s the one on acid.

Kanu—worse. It bored us.

Methinks Orson hates golf because he has terrible difficulty in hitting the ball. Pussy.

That said, Augusta kicks ass, etc. etc. Making par on 12 is cake.

by BuckeyeDan on May 18, 2007 4:42 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s the off season – unleash the opus.

Soccer isn’t boring? News to me. Much like baseball, you have to wait inordinate amounts of time to see important action.

by maskedavenger on May 18, 2007 4:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Soccer actually has tons of stuff going on all at once—it’s just usually filmed from eight miles above the stadium, which makes it look like nothing’s going on.

Dan—everyone has trouble hitting the ball, one of the reasons golf sucks. We are a horrible, talentless athlete without an ounce of skill. But we’re in the majority in that respect.

I am getting my pilot’s license, and recently I realized that it would be cheaper to go to a strip club and get nothing but lap dances the whole time than to rent a plane and pay the instructor for the same duration. Which would would I rather do though…flying.

Saban doesn’t have time for this piss.

Also, when contacted, Ole Ball Coach replied with, “He took pictures of WHAT? I told you ball coach had to piss. Yeeeeah…clickclack.” He then called R. Kelley and had a good laugh.

It is too late for me. At my age, I have neither the time nor the inclination to spend the 100s of hours learning to appreciate the games subtleties. What it looks like to me is 85 minutes of kicking a ball back and forth and 5 minutes of serious offensive opportunity. Good luck to you, Rupert Murdoch, and every one else trying to change my mind every 4 years the World Cup rolls around.

by maskedavenger on May 18, 2007 4:54 PM EDT reply actions  

plus, soccer is great because it facilitates drinking just as much as football does. I get the feeling I won’t be able to stand up by noon tomorrow.

by parker91 on May 18, 2007 4:57 PM EDT reply actions  

Golf is cool – try it again sometime, stoned. I’ll 2nd the “bridge to football season” idea also. After-golf visits to the strip clubs are a nice perk for the fellas also.

by RyderCup on May 18, 2007 5:01 PM EDT reply actions  

I’ve heard golf referred to as pasture pool. I don’t play it cause it’s too expensive. Soccer and hockey are deathly dull to watch, it’s like an hour of foreplay. The action is cool at first, but not enough scoring.

And just because I love to brag, I was walking off the course at Augusta at about this time 2 years ago today. This dude wasn’t my caddy.

Orson: “I don’t wanna play golf grandpa, I wanna play tennis!”
Grandpa “Smails” Swindle: “You’re playing golf and you’ll like it!”
Orson: “Double turds.”

The world needs ditch diggers too!

Spurrier pissing on Augusta is immaterial. Anyone who’s ever been there knows that God pissed on the place a long, long time ago.

by Doug the future Mr. Theuriau on May 18, 2007 5:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Piss City:

First: Spurrier goes after the Confederate Flag and,

Second: He pisses at Augusta.

What is next? Will Spurrier demand the abolishment of:

- Jefferson Davis Holiday in the South

Orson: Geology is sexy time! Where else can you give a lecture and mention beds overturned by vigorous thrusting, cleavage, dikes, and nude beaches all in the same class?

My take on soccer and scoring is that because it does not happen very often, the drama and excitement are cranked up every time there is a play developing. To me basketball is a boring sport because, unless you are in the last 2 minutes of a game, each shot means virtually nothing.

Like I posted over there, you can’t spell urinate without UT.

I too am not a big fan of golf, but that’s probably due to all of the swimming for clubs that’s involved.

Golf is not a sport, it was designed by Scottish Calvinists as a metaphor for life: no matter how good you are, something will always go horribly wrong and you’ll find that out in the rain as your drive blows backwards towards you…

Which is why it really loses something being played in perfect weather on a groomed course in Florida or Georgia.

by DC Trojan on May 18, 2007 11:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Golf is not a sport because there is no defense. Your oponent’s skill does not affect what you are attempting to achieve. You are playing (with) yourself. Hell, even pool has defense.

ORSON!!! I think I have found something that might help you better understand the game of golf.

Whenever I’m asked if I play golf, I reply “no, my knees are still good.”

Fellas, rugby is the banana peels to football’s stickiets-of-tha-icky, if not an adequate substitute. And, for better or worse, there are no commercials during matches. Get Setanta on DirecTV.

Orson, rugby fan? Do you follow any team? Personally, I have been hooked by the golf bug… It’s that one round where everything seems to be going right, that just keeps making you play. Though I grew up with cricket, rugby, and soccer. UGA is to blame for the football passion.

Rugby kicks ass. go the Wallabies and the Roosters.

Orson, just because you can’t hit a mid-wedge with backspin and nudge the pin from 110 yards away, feel bad. And if you shank your drives, feel bad. Golf is life and gives you a reason to get up early on Sunday mornings.

Second to College Football, I love World Cup Soccer.

It’s the purest global team athletic event. Any country with a ball, 2 goals and 11 guys can play, better than the Olympics where your Nordics have the winter advantage, etc.

Also national pride is at stake at a level that makes some of the greatest college interstate rivalries pale in comparison.

That picture is actually the left side of number 11. The caddy will be in deep trouble. I know him and don’t feel sorry for him.
