The Masters is not yet over this afternoon but I can safely present the "Worst Musical Accompaniment of the Millennium for a Major Sports Event."

I normally don't even listen, if I am even aware of musical accompaniment of sports events.

But watching the 2008 Masters in Augusta my attention has been morbidly drawn to what is, without a doubt, the worst background music for a major sports event.

With subdued but identifiable cuts, from, "Quo Vadis", "Exodus", "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "The Ten Commandments" CBS has reached a new low is network broadcast scoring.

Second only to their selection of Katie Couric as evening news anchor CBS has cemented their total incompetence in every phase of Television programming with the background music for the 2008 Masters Golf Tourney.

When they are not playing long ago and far away forgotten movie themes, there is some yo-yo playing casket viewing music on a poorly tuned piano.

No, I am not being premature when I present CBS with First Prize for the "Worst Musical Accompaniment of the Millennium for a Major Sports Event" 92 years early.

John,


Shouldn't that be 992 years early? Or am I just confused? haha



Can't watch golf myself, as a great man once said, "it's like watching flies fuck."

:)


However, I may shoot over real quick to catch a listen to the god awful selection of muzak that they have chosen.

Off topic, but, I'm surprised that you didn't chime in on the "Dragons" thread located here (http://amkon.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1143).

Seeing as how you dig dragons and all.



:P

No, John is absolutley right. The score is awful. I am not one for watching golf either, they guys at the station are so I usually tune the stuff out. But this was so terrible. I think cheesy best describes it.
