So did you watch it all?
This weekend the more committed sports fans was looking forward to endless entertainment on the box and personally I was more excited than Max Mosley on a day trip to Nuremburg.
However, despite watching something like 30 hours of sport from Thursday night I found it hard to enjoy much or any of the stuff on show.
Top of the bill was the Masters. I must have watched nearly 15 hours of it this year. Sitting in the office today everything still has a deep green hue from staring to long at the lush manicured lawns of Augusta.
But try as they might the coverage was pretty dull. Peter Alliss spent most of his time giving out about how slow the play was. If I want to hear a pensioner moan about how long something takes I will hang around outside the loo in a retirement home.
He had some gems of comments but overall he sounded as bored as the rest of us. At the end Ken Brown suggested it might not be over as Immelman still had to sign his card. Spare us. A dull South African won, there was no magic from anybody or a surge from Tiger.
And Ian fuckin Poulter got a hole in one. I saw that shot more often than I saw the outdoors this weekend. That fact reflects more badly on me than it does the BBC.
Attempts at finding something of interest in the following also failed;
Bernard Dunne comeback: Boxing from Mayo. Oh dear
Man Utd vs. Arsenal: Arsenal score, give away a stupid penalty then lose. Surprise!
Leinster vs Munster: Leinster win a match against Munster that Munster dont really care about. If they needed to, really needed to, Munster would have won.
The only really interesting event was Queen of the South beating Aberdeen 4-3 in the Scottish cup semi final.
Thats right, drink in that sentence.
I need to get out more.
