The relentlessly-vapid ESPN commentator shares his views on how to properly speak in hushed tones.

I point this out because we will be subjected to him for all 11 hours of Bristol's Friday Ryder Cup coverage along with Sportscenter analysis over the weekend. You've been warned.

“I figured out right away that it doesn’t do you any good to be 20 or 30 feet from a guy when he’s hitting a shot because you can’t say anything,” he said. “You need to be up ahead where you can see, have a sense of where they’re going and what kind of shot they need to be playing.”

He's an innovator!
