Don't think it's been talked about much but the tv coverage has been awful. Running stupid puff pieces while golf is being played. I'm up at 5:30 to watch golf. Show me the golf.
And there have been a ton of commercials. Now that our TVs are much more interactive, I wish I could push a button and promise to buy a Rolex, Lexus or boner pills to prove the ads worked and then it runs commercial free.
Some of the TV coverage issues, especially what and how many shots they show, is due to NBC having to use a third party Euro provider for coverage. They have some of their own cameras out there, but not near as many as they would have in the US. Here's a story about the Solheim Cup coverage, that is going to bleed over to some extent to the Ryder Cup coverage.

Listened to some of the NLU pod earlier. They're right about one thing- US team is a bunch of front runners. When it's rolling they're all buddy buddy but when things turn they're a bunch of little beetches. No one was really supportive of those last few afternoon matches and they all flipped to halves. Also reports Xander and Cantlay are locker room cancers complaining about not being paid this week and just generally bad attitudes. No idea if that's true or not but it's out there. Sucks waited 2 years for this crap.

What an embarrassing group of overrated chumps. Have some pride. Show up. Zach is a joke. Team is a joke. All the hype only to get run off the course in 1 f'ing day. Unreal.

No way that is true. If so, then neither one of them should ever be on a Ryder Cup team again.
