Sarah Silverman supports the use of LSD by pitchers, and gets bleeped by Fox for using the term “Masshole” twice.

The European Tour wasn’t pleased with Tiger’s actions and announced Monday that it will be fining him an undisclosed sum. Tiger has since taken to Twitter to apologize about the grave injustice to the world of golf.

The Euro Tour is right – it was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better. Just wasn’t thinking and want to say I’m sorry.

Murray obviously has a point: nobody wants to put through Tiger’s spit and Woods should have apologized for not having more awareness. But I don’t think there was any reason for Murray to channel his inner Joe Buck.

Relax, Joe.

I truly don’t care what a man or woman’s sexual preference is.

Gay, straight – whatever. I don’t care.

But I do find it interesting that Joe Buck would choose to call two different men “dreamy” and “good looking” on national television in the same week that rumors started circulating that he was gay.

Let’s back it up for a second.

Earlier this week, the website TerezOwens.com reported that Buck was going through a divorce and that it’s “common knowledge” in St. Louis that the broadcaster is gay. The site goes on to say that there are rumors that Buck and former Cardinal Fernando Tatis had sex and “Joe’s wife found out or something.”

Seeing as how TerezOwens.com doesn’t reveal its sources, it’s wise to take the report with a grain of salt. Plus, just based on how the story was written would be enough to doubt the accuracy of the rumor.

But Buck said a couple of things Thursday night during FOX’s broadcast of the Patriots-Falcons preseason game that made me scratch my head. Before New England quarterback Tom Brady took the field for the first time in the first quarter, Buck uttered: “And now the dreamy Tom Brady will take over for the Patriots…”

Granted, I get that Buck was playing off the notion that women think Brady is a good-looking guy. He even emphasized “dreamy” by holding the “e” longer than the rest of the word while enunciating it (i.e. dreeeeeeeeamy).

But later in the game after sideline reporter Pam Oliver interviewed Falcons’ tight end Tony Gonzalez about his strict eating regiment, Buck dropped this on the listening audience:

“Well we know this, he’s a good looking guy, he’s well-spoken, he’s been in the league forever, he has the best stats of any tight end in the history of the position, but he’ll never be a part of the media because he would always eat alone.”

I’m sorry, but if I were doing the broadcast of a football game when I know my target audience is predominantly male, I wouldn’t be calling Brady “dreamy” or pointing out that Gonzalez is a “good-looking guy.” There’s just no reason to make those statements during the middle of a football game. Do those two references mean that Buck’s gay? Of course not, and does it matter either way?

But if he’s not, then he certainly didn’t do anything on Thursday night to dispel the rumor.

Sports Illustrated put out this list of what it believes to be the Top 20 all-time sportscasters. Some of these guys are before my time, but unfortunately, most of them are not. Anyway, here is the list and a snappy comment or two, as well as who they missed and who I’m glad is not on here:

1. Jim McKay—The Bob Costas of his time. McKay hosted ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” as well as The Olympics. It’s hard to argue with putting him on top here, but it’s also easy to argue for a few of these others to be #1.

2. Vin Scully—If I hear ol’ Vin doing a game on TV, and with the MLB package it’s nice to still hear him doing Dodgers’ games, I don’t care who is playing….I stop and watch, and listen. It’s just comforting to hear the guy’s voice, which was made for broadcasting baseball.

3. Mel Allen—He did Yankees games before I was born, but I remember his distinctive voice as the host of “This Week in Baseball.”

4. Red Barber—Way before my time, but I’ve heard great things

5. Ernie Harwell—Even hearing his voice doing interviews before he passed away recently, you couldn’t not be engaged to listen.

6. Jack Buck—Loved hearing him do both baseball and football, and who can forget his call in the 1988 World Series when gimpy Kirk Gibson hit that home run against Dennis Eckersley? “I don’t believe what I just saw!”

7. Bob Costas—Many of you don’t like this guy, but he’s a pro and as knowledgeable as they come.

8. Curt Gowdy—Another voice from my childhood that is synonymous with baseball.

9. Howard Cosell—Who can forget Cosell doing “Monday Night Football” along with Frank Gifford and Dandy Don Meredith? The fact that Cosell was so annoying just added to his charm.

10. Keith Jackson—Even if you were never into college football, you had to tune in when Keith Jackson did a game. It was like religion. “Oh, Nelly!”

11. Harry Caray—I remember when we first got cable and had Cubs’ games on WGN. I was like, “who is this old dude doing the games?” But Harry was awesome, especially when trying to pronounce names he couldn’t pronounce.

12. Jack Brickhouse—Um, also before my time.

13. Al Michaels—He’s not my favorite announcer ever, but he’s not hard to listen to either. Michaels is smart and extremely professional, and his resume is enormous. His claim to fame was calling the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.

14. Dick Enberg—“Oh My!” I still love hearing this guy do NFL games.

15. Marv Albert—Yeah, you can poke fun all you want about his extra-curricular, um, issues in 1997, but there is no better basketball announcer, and he was doing hockey games when I grew up in New York too. About as recognizable a voice as there is in sports. Hard to believe he’s almost 70!

16. Don Dunphy—This was a boxing guy from before my time

17. Jack Whitaker—Also covered many sports, probably before I was born

18. Chick Hearn—Was the voice of the Lakers for many years. I never heard him do a game, but heard how awesome he was.

19. Chris Schenkel—I remember watching PBA bowling on Saturdays with my grandpa, and this guy was the voice of that as well as several other sports. A true pro.

20. John Madden—There is/was no one better at color commentary, and to think he planned on stopping in the broadcast booth temporarily before he found another coaching job. But wait? He’s 20th? That is kind of bogus. Madden should be Top 10, easily.

Some guys they missed:
Joe Garagiola—I loved hearing him and Tony Kubek do NBC’s “Game of the Week” in baseball when I was a kid.

Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner—This trio was the soundtrack to my youth watching the Mets.

Phil Rizzuto—Holy cow! Phil isn’t on this list?

Gary Thorn and Mike Emrick—Two of the best I’ve ever heard do hockey games.

Jim Nantz—This guy just excels at football, basketball and golf

Gary Cohen—Did Mets radio for many years and is now the voice of SNY for the Mets. This guy is a walking Mets encyclopedia, and I know many of you don’t know who he is, but he’s remarkable as both an announcer and historian.

Bob Papa—Sorry to be the homer here, but this Giants’ radio play-by-play guy now does the Thursday night NFL games, so you all get to here how great he is.

And who I’m glad they did miss:
Joe Buck—I just don’t see what the appeal is. I loved listening to his dad, but this guy just grates on my nerves. He’s smart and witty, but he’s more annoying than entertaining. He’s like the Ryan Seacrest of sports.

Gus Johnson—There is a reason he does the D-list NFL games on CBS—he’s hyper to a fault. Sometimes it’s funny, but mostly it grates on my nerves.
