TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many playoffs have there been in Masters history?
A:16
Masters: the year's best sporting event
THE MORNING BREW
Every year, I watch the Masters and am reminded of what perfection is like. It's an event practically hosted by heaven and run in an according manner. "Patron" may as well be a title of royalty for tournament goers because they are spoiled with the splendors of tournament drama, free parking and cheap food, all while walking around Augusta National, which could be considered the largest botanical garden in the world.
But is it the year's best sporting event?
But if the year is best season No, but it's a tie. The NCAA basketball tournament can always match the same drama, and with the tournaments within two weeks of each other, we are a spoiled population. The two events stick out from other sports' best events - and for good reason.
College football is right up there with the NFL for most popular league in America. College football has perhaps the most potential for an exciting postseason, but a one-game postseason is an atrocity. How the BCS could lay stagnant on this issue for so long is baffling, and a four-team playoff won't do much to fix this issue either. It should be a minimum
or 16 teams. How do you expect me to get caught up in meaningless bowl games with titles ranging from the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl to the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl Spread the games out over December and January. The 4-6 week time period is enough to fit a field of 16, and save your breath because fatigue is a terrible argument. How many games will they play in the NFL?
I'll hear an argument for the NFL Playoffs to be at the top of the list as an event, but I get confused as to whether I'm watching new commercials with football interruptions or the other way around. The Masters has rather limited commercial interruption, while
the NCAA tournament is a channel-changing frenzy with loads of action to start the tournament. Some people have a thing for watching (and listening) to nerds lock lips with Kate Upton, but I prefer the other kind of action.
I'll also hear an argument for the NBA Playoff. The most athletic combination of human beings in the world playing like it means something – noted only because the same intensity isn't found anywhere in the regular season. Chill out, Kobe fans. But the two months it takes to decide a winner makes it more eligible as a TV series rather than a tournament.
The World Series can get exciting...can. As much as some of us want to say we love baseball to confirm our American identity, please answer my question honestly. When was the last time, on television, in one sitting, that you watched the first five innings of a baseball game straight?
The World Cup should be on the topp five list, but a lack of American following and an annoying vuvuzela impression left on viewers from the last World Cup certainly doesn't help the tournament's
chances. I would agree with the statement that it's the best tournament in the world, but definitely not stateside.
And just to cover the spectrum of sports and please a northern readership, many viewers see televised hockey as an eye exam rather than what it really is.
Golf is boring. Yes, I bet some of you had one hell of a Sunday afternoon nap, but if you tuned into to any of the recent Masters tournaments, you know the event doesn't compromise on drama. If you are stubborn and hate golf, and won't acknowledge it as exciting, just look at the tournament as another addition to Disney's "Earth" documentaries, because Augusta National is well worth the same attention.
