working in front of the TV today

[Evil Chris]

I don't normally do this, but today I'm going to set myself up to work in front of the television.
If you follow sports you'll already know why. The US Open has gone to a playoff situation. Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate tee off for an 18 hole playoff round this morning at 11:30, then at 2:45pm this afternoon Germany and Austria play a match in the Euro 2008 tournament.

In the soccer, I'm cheering for Germany but as for the golf... I'm just hoping it's an exciting playoff.

I do for all the Majors, we have a nice big flat screen in the boardroom.
Are you sure it's 11:30 AM EST or is it 2:30 EST?

[Evil Chris]

TSN is reporting noon eastern (9am PT) with coverage starting at 11:30am.
You made me go double check! ;)

Watching golf while working...sounds like a cure for insomnia to me ;)

Just kidding!

My FIL was over yesterday watching bass fishing and golf... zzzzzzzz... LOL

[Evil Chris]

Fishing is one thing that WILL put me to sleep on television.
Even my father and brother who are both very avid fishermen, cannot watch that on TV.
It's like watching paint dry!

I always have the TV on next to me, it's usually on BNN or CNBC.

On a side note, what an amazing course they're playing on.

[Evil Chris]

Rocco just got off an excellent first drive on hole 1. I wish him good luck. He'll need it against Tiger Woods.

Tiger finally finds the fairway on hole 1.

They're off! :)

[Magnus3x]

yeah no double bogs on the first man that was stinky.

[Evil Chris]

It's only the first hole, and I already want to reach into the TV and tell Johnny Miller to shut the hell up. He's so partial to Tiger, it's ridiculous.

[Magnus3x]

Oh Man.. poor Rocco is'nt playing the same Golf he was the last few days. I know he likes to have fun.. but sometimes you have to put your head down and concentrate on the job at hand, especially when you have the best of the best playing next to you and is all focus.

[Evil Chris]

Tiger doesn't seem to be all there either. I can't remember watching a major where so many fairways have been missed.

I think Rocco is just playing with a 'nuthin to lose' attitude. The gallery is sure behind him that's for sure.

[Panky]

I can't have my work and the TV in the same room. It kills my productivity big time.

[Cyndalie]

I got sucked into it at the resturaunt i went to for lunch!

[Evil Chris]

It's still anyone's championship. They're taking turns blinking.

[Magnus3x]

Man this is the way it should be a nail biter till the end.

[Evil Chris]

Tiger has a short putt to force more overtime...

[Magnus3x]

What a finish.. too many chances given to the Tiger and he prevailed.
Amazing 5 days of Golf.

[emac]

congrats you can do that thing.

[Evil Chris]

I think it came down to mental toughness in the end. Rocco Mediate will always be remembered for pushing Tiger to 18+1 holes of extra time in the 2008 US Open.

He played amazing win or lose.

[dyonisus]

I watch movies etc while workgin but I know i am not as productive...
I saw US Open ad thought surfing, haha, not much of a golf fan... for me its snoring!

[StaceyJo]

[Janell]
