The DVR Wins Again

I've discussed my hatred for DVRing sporting events before, and yesterday during the Masters my hatred was justified yet again. CB talked me into DVRing the Masters Tournament so we could skip past the commercials. I reluctantly agreed, only because the Masters is his favorite sporting event of the year. I love the Masters, but I do find myself grabbing and scrolling through my phone mindlessly during the broadcast. The thing is like 6 hours long, I zone out from time to time. 

It should be noted that when Rory is on TV, I do not zone out. I've been known to rewind and replay on occasion. I'm not sure what it is (pecs, face, butt, smile, eyes) about him, but I just really enjoy studying his golf swing. 

You know, studying. You know, so I can improve my own game. You know...

So there we were somewhere in the first 9 -- if you watched my snaps on Friday night, you'll know the Masters has some crazy rules. i.e. it isn't called the front and back 9, it's called the first and second 9 -- and my mom calls excitedly, "ARE YOU WATCHING THIS??!!" She was of course referring to the Masters and I had to scream, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING WE ARE ONLY ON HOLE 8."

Again, I hate DVRing a sport. 

About 15 minutes later, my phone chimes... Duh Nuh Nuh, Duh Nuh Nuh 

(that's supposed to be the Sportscenter sound, for the record)

Knowing the Mavs and Rangers were both playing, I picked up the phone and looked. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

My phone excitedly reports, "Danny Willett wins Masters." At the time I received that message, Speith had a 5 stroke lead. 

It was like knowing someone was going to punch you, but not knowing when it was going to happen. Ok, that's a little dramatic, but you get the point. I didn't enjoy it. 

I didn't enjoy watching -- waiting -- for someone to blow a lead like that, especially someone I like. Well that might not be true, there are many, many SEC football teams I love to watch blow a lead. 

Man, poor Jordan. I feel for the kid. He's so young, and that was so intense. Not only do you lose something you could have easily won, but you've got to go crown the winner. Yikes. I think he is going to have a seriously difficult time getting over this. I know he is loaded and he can go cry into a giant pile of cash, but he is 22. I cried and pouted over everything when I was 22. (and now still at 29....)

The suspense was totally ruined for me though, because 

1. ESPN spoiled everything 

2. Our recording cut out around hole 17, so we didn't get to see Jordan finish or the green jacket presentation. 

In conclusion, that will be the last time I agree to DVRing a sporting event. 

Sorry CB, never again.

Did you watch?! How do you think Jordan handled himself?
