I've Never Wanted To Golf With Al Michaels More After The ManningCast Aired Highlights Of Him Losing His Shit On The Course

I'll be honest, I never once thought of playing a round of golf with Al Michaels. Now? Well, now it's second on my list behind having a drink with Bill Raftery. Look at this man. The lost composure, the duffed shots? He's someone I need to experience for 18 holes. I need to be in the cart with him after he hooks one into the other fairway and just starts losing his shit while sounding like he's calling a Super Bowl. 

That said, the first clip is simply amazing. YOU PIECE OF HUMAN SHIT is a great insult for yourself after a terrible shot. Everyone has their go to. I'm a big fan of telling myself I suck and calling myself a real asshole for playing the game after one of these. But you piece of human shit? That's A+. That's how you know you're on tilt right off the drive. The only thing that tops it is the little jumps right after. 

Amazing hops. Also just looks like my 2-year old son when I tell him we're not watching Thomas the Tank Engine anymore. Full on meltdown right before bed time. He does need to improve the club toss though. Sure, it's a vet move to toss it in the fairway where you're not going to break it. But if you're going to toss the club have some umph behind it. Give it some juice so you get the temper under control. You'll feel better before you top your next shot. 

I almost feel letdown though. I needed to see his second shot out of the bunker. If you're a standard weekend golfer, you've been here. You think you can scoop the bunker shot, maybe the ball seems propped up. Doesn't even come close to getting over the lip. So there's one thing left to do? Immediately walk behind the ball, barely let it stop rolling and then swing away. Good chance you catch it clean and FIRE that bad boy over the back of the green. 

Impressive all the way by Al. The hands behind the head watching it lets you know he's truly enjoying it. He knows he's a loose cannon on the course and that's precisely why I need a round with him.
