I know, I know… The Masters is still going on and is engaging as all get out with Tiger making a charge today, the first day’s leader (Justin Rose) plummeting to near the bottom of the leaderboard, and 3 players at the top of the leaderboard each with three solid rounds under par. And what do I write about? Ridiculous Rory Sabbatini.
He missed the cut – so much for “breaking the curse” after winning the par 3 contest. Fortunately, that means we don’t get treated to a weekend of ridiculous belt buckles. Yesterday’s gem not only had no place at Augusta, it has no place on Rory. I’m sorry, I just think he’s incapable of pulling off this “style” he’s been attempting. His entire persona seems affected, and his choice in apparel seems out of place on him. Geoff Shackelford made a good call back at Riviera: Rory: Liberace called, he wants his belt buckle back.
Lord knows I’m no fashionista, but I like to think I know what I can pull off and what I can’t. Rory looks as ridiculous in his piped trousers, loud colors, flashy belt buckles and tiny visors as I would in booty shorts and knee socks, and a cocky strut doesn’t change that for either of us. I could stuff a potato into a G.I. Joe outfit, name him Paolo, give him a mysterious back-story and a sympathetic and intriguing character image, and he’d still look like a spud in doll’s combat clothes.
Whether his duds are his own choices or if someone else is dressing him (I find that hard to believe), it certainly has gotten him attention. If that was the whole point, congratulations. But if he wanted that attention to be positive – another missed cut.

The Masters being Disrepected
Augusta Georgia: Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. has pulled a good one on the good old boys at the Masters Golf Tournament. Shock Jock Austin Rhodes of WGAC Radio is at the Masters pretending to be a Golf Commentator. Unbelievable this crude, controversial, big mouth, vile and most perceived Racist in Augusta is given license to interview people at these Holy Proceedings…choke choke. Oh well, down here Masters means different things to different people and I guess the Puppeteers know what they be doing. I’ll bet if the Golfers knew Austin Rhodes history they would not allow him or WGAC within a mile of them. I kinda think they might even have WGAC removed from the premises. Does anyone think Howard Stern, Bill Maher, Randi Rhodes or Air America would be allowed to do what Austin Rhodes is? How did the Imus of Augusta get such an opportunity?
Go figure…only in Augusta as we who live here often say.
Actually the joke is on all of Augusta and of course the legit people in the studio.. Some of us feel is it downright disrepectful.
