Do whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home.
High on the list of things I've been meaning to do since I moved to New York in 2004 is going up to a Columbia University football game.
It's fun to deliver material on live TV because it's more off-the-cuff, but I like writing better. You really can measure the joke, think an extra second and nail the right reference.
I have a simple plan to solve the economic crisis. Give every American a $100 credit to the dog track of their choice. I have found the puppies to be a reliable source of income with a consistent rate of return.
I do remember vividly sometime after puberty when I'd answer the phone at home and the callers began to say, 'Hi, Bill!' That's when I knew Dad and I had the same voice.
If you're one of the fortunate few on this Earth with a pass to enter the gates of Augusta National on Masters Sunday, you don't leave early. You just don't. If it's a Masters Sunday when Tiger Woods is near the top of the leader board, you really don't leave early.
In our deepest places, we all wish we could live like Raoul Duke for a while.
Golf is the only sport where watching the game is arguably as grueling physically as playing it.
I don't think anybody's quite accurately branded me. I'm not sure I could do it myself.
If the relentless personal maintenance plan has taken over your life, give it a rest.
My routine is to ride that snooze button as far as it will take me, take a quick shower, get dressed in the dark and bolt out the door.
I've had two pedicures in my life, and they were glorious.
In a tradition second in wonderful absurdity only to 60-year-old baseball managers wearing uniforms and spikes in the dugout, golf spectators come dressed ready to play 18.
When you work in TV long enough, you tend to get a little jaded with different things you have to deal with.
