Hicks, Sands May Vie For Emmy In Lead Actor Comedy Series

Of course, the FedExCup would have to qualify as a comedy but I think Sunday's tape would convince the nomination committee in no time that this farce should be recognized for the passion and salesmanship of NBC's Dan Hicks, and The Golf Channel/soon-to-be-nauseatingly-reinforced-NBC-sister-network announcer Steve Sands, given the hideous job of trying to make sense of the FedExCup points chase. Steve Elling wrote:

Having learned over three years that the confluence of points and par was tough for fans to decipher, throwing in the explanations was a sage move from the NBC folks. But it was like trying to explain Bach fugues to the tone deaf.

Watching Sands try to diagram the mid-round ebb and flow was like watching Florida election returns, except the fans were the chads who were left hanging. It wasn't Sands' fault, because he might as well have been explaining the hieroglyphics Matt Damon scribbled on the blackboard in Good Will Hunting.
