Why Is NBC Still Covering Golf When Their Top Personality Has Just Passed Away?

I know they are capitalists but????

1. I guess no one knows what is proper since their Captain's gone.

2. He Wasn't The Head Of Programming

Show some respect and run a f'ing crawler at the bottom...

5. Do you know how much they paid for the US Open?

I am sure it was not cheap

Also this is their only major.

7. Do you know how much they paid for the US Open?

That's the answer...

6. Because life goes on. We have great emotion and feel sympathy

but we are still alive and much is happening in our world including massive floods and fires within out country where many, many people's lives are being destroyed.

8. They Aren't Showing Floods On NBC. They Are Showing Large Men Trying To Put A Ball In A Little Hole

13. SOOOO glad that 3-thread limit is gone.

15. It's The First Thread I Started In About Three Days

I am sorry you have so much hostility...

Call a friend...

Call a loved one...

Look at a friend or loved one's picture...It will lessen it...



Peace and tranquil thoughts,

17. Sorry...

You're right, sorry for snapping at you.

12. I think if it wasnt the US Open, they wouldnt be.

I dont fault them really. If they didnt have MSNBC, they would be doing what you are wondering.

16. Why is this in GD: P? eom

[WinkyDink]

18. Because he wasn't their "top personality" (I don't know)? Because he'll be covered at length later?

Because it's a major golf tournament and Russert's death, while shockingly unexpected, doesn't trump it? (The NBA Finals wouldn't be blacked-out, either. Or baseball. Etc.)

19. I Can Not Tell A Lie...Some Of The Impetus For My Post Was My Animus For Golf
