Alan Shipnuck Watch: Phoenix Open Meets Super Bowl in 2008
Saturday February 10, 2007 | 17:08:39 258 words, 3688 views
Al Shipnuck just cannot get off my radar, otherwise known as my s-list. Talk about dangling an unreachable carrot in front of a braying, drooling donkey! Here he is this week, writing about the Phoenix PGA Tour Stop’s collision next year with the NFL’s Super Bowl…"you owe it to yourself to go” is his message. Imagine trying to get a hotel room, a tee time, heck, even a dinner reservation, in any of the places that AS dangles in his article. Do you think, AS, that the visiting NFL folk will reserve the living bleep out of the town? Love, too, when he plays coy with his readers in the following ways: “Being a California kid I often forget how miserable it is in most of the country this time of year” Bite my snow shovel, Alan. “and arrived in desperate need of some Guy Time. Playing golf in the morning, watching the tournament in the afternoon, exploring cougar dens by night” Yeah, like we don’t know what Cougar refers to, Mr. Nuck. And the piece de resistance, dangling a private, impenetrable golf club in our faces… Maybe it’s the Lake Erie effect, maybe it’s the lingering aftertaste of closed steel mills, but I just don’t i.d. with this guy. Still love his writing, though. It never fails to arouse some emotion in me, be it hatred or admiration. Comments:

Rono, what it the HELL are you talking about. I mean, seriously, were you drunk when you wrote this?

Bill,
I assume your English is fluent. With what do you take umbrage? From my desk, the blog is coherent and surgical, deftly reducing the AS column to ... nothing.

Apparently, AS has been living such a priviledged life in golf circles that he's lost touch with us regular schmucks. Standbridge must be his agent or a relative.

RonMon, Maaaarvelous. Both Shipnuck and Bamberger are on a gravy train and have lost touch with the real world of golf. We live about 40 miles south of Phx. Golf is good here unless you absolutely have to spend $150 for a round. The FBR and Superbowl next year...no problem. We have a very nice television and cold beer in the fridge.
