Last week I made a crack around a CBS type about how Masters organizers might react to the prospect of Chris Berman covering the first two rounds on ESPN, which takes over that honor from USA Network this year.
Said CBSer explained to me that, as in the USA days, it would be a CBS production, with only Mike Tirico involved on TV from the ESPN end.
So I dropped it, figuring it wasn't newsworthy and I knew nothing about major golf tournament coverage. That turned out to be a wrong-headed decision.
Many people assumed, as I did, that ESPN would handle the production itself, and thus didn't know the telecast would not feature Berman and his Bristol friends.
Hence a story on this by my venerable counterpart Phil Mushnick in today's Post has been getting a lot of blogsphere attention.
I assume it's OK for me to link to it, seeing as how Phil and I could be teammates pretty soon.

ROFL........
or should I say....OUCH!!!!!
The day that Rupert Murdoch and his tabloid loving behind owns Newsday is the day that the Great Long Island paper falls into the muck that is crappy New York Tabloid Journalism...
Will Newsday have a Page Six column on Page 10 too?
Other blogs are making a big deal that Berman is not involved in the coverage. Well first, THANK GOD! Second, the idea of that bag of hot air would be able to call a golf tournament had to have come from the same clown who thought dumping David Aldridge for SAS would be a popular move among NBA fans.
