I just said that to someone this morning, about J'Biden.
I am also reasonably certain that Musberger once called a golfer's eagle on a par-five a "hole in one". Listening to him talk golf was comical. Like me talking womens' (sic) fashion.
...Musburger's golf ventures were somewhat infamous. Fans were critical of his knowledge of the game and he often made mistakes, like the time he referred to Larry Mize as 'Johnny Mize,' the Hall of Fame baseball player. These sentiments grew with fiery comments from former studio partner Tom Weiskopf.
"Brent Musburger was not a golfer," Weiskopf once told the Chicago Tribune. "Brent did not know or understand the tradition and terminology, or jargon, of the game."
Weiskopf claimed he had to "babysit" Musburger. "It was not a pleasant situation."
Also adding fuel to the flames was criticism from CBS golf producer Frank Chirkinian. The World Golf Hall of Famer allegedly never saw eye-to-eye with Musburger. The relationship was further damaged when Chirkinian ripped Musburger in an interview with Golf Digest, after Musburger asked John Daly about rumors of his wild off-the-course lifestyle.
"What you've done is you've established in the eyes of the other players that you are not to be trusted," said Chirkinian. "Every player who was there and heard the interview said, 'Don't come to us. We will not be interviewed by you.'
