We’ve seen this before, when Letterman went to CBS and NBC got nothing in return. CBS is about to get a terrific reporter

, to replace a guy in Bob Sheafer,

who never really wanted the job long-term. So that NBC does not get screwed again, it’s time to send the Masters to NBC, for a number of reasons.

Reason # 1–Lanny Wadkins.

Kiel Christianson discusses this one at length, so I won’t go overly into detail. Suffice it to say that Wadkins is a menopausal emotional blob whose pithy vocabulary drags every colleague down, as they attempt to cover for his run-on sentences and inability to take himself out of the equation. DUMMY, it’s the tournament, not you, on center stage.

Reason # 2–Johnny Miller.

Like Lanny, he never won the Masters. However, he is the main guy at NBC, unlike Lanny, the second buffoon to Jim “Did you know Fred was my college roommate” Nantz. Jim and Johnny would be great, but NBC’s number two, Dan Hicks, is almost as good as Nantz. We need Johnny to right the ship. Perhaps Gary McCord would jump to Johnny’s ship…then we’d have some kind of telecast!

Reason # 3–Do You Need Any More? That’s all I have, and all I need. Blogs are supposed to be brief.
