Not April Fools: Finchem Takes Ice Bucket Challenge
/I was feeling bad for the Commish after Rob Manfred survived a battle to become MLB Commissioner and in comparing baseball's new leading man to other overpaid suits, Tim Finchem’s name never once came up. Blasphemy!
Yet something tells me Manfred would not take the Ice Bucket Challenge, which I thought needed to go away for a while now. Watching that GIF, I was so, so wrong.
Points to the Commish for doing this. Points for the PGA Tour branded bucket (ok, an office trash can, hopefully sterilized before this stunt). Points for setting. And big points for putting the beloved royal blue jacket back on over the shirt at the risk of it never quite smelling the same again.
Nice work to Len Mattiace for challenging the Commish too. You may even avoid a fine for that. And good luck to Johnny Miller, Dan Hicks and the FedExCup Champion, who were called out by the Commish and have no choice but to carry on this otherwise absurd challenge.
Charity really is the heart of the PGA Tour...the clip!
**For the record, I was challenged today and declined, choosing instead to take the easy way out and donate $100 to ALS, as is the custom in this bizarro viral thingy.
I hope my fellow grown-ups...errr...cowards will join me in pledging over wasting precious water.
**Tom Watson has issued a challenge to his Ryder Cup team...in his Birkenstocks. You can take boy out of the country but you can't...
Ryan Ballengee with the video and rather scary use of a mini-skip loader.
**We talked about the Commissioner's effort on Morning Drive.
