Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony Live Blog Reminder & Viewing Guide

Over at The Loop, I've tried to condense the American viewing and listening options for those of you I've heard from who are still in disbelief that, indeed, this Ryder Cup will be shown live on Golf Channel Friday followed by NBC on the weekend. Just as intriguing is the "Alternate Shot" live feed on Golf Channel over the weekend anchored by David Feherty and Gary Williams.

SiriusXM will also be at it all the way and all streaming options for those at work are mentioned and linked to as well.

At 11 am ET Thursday I will be hosting a Cover It Live blog to guide us through the Opening Ceremony.

This is always one of the great displays of excess, pageantry and occasionally, ignorance at its grandest. Please join in and comment away if you are at work and watching on the RyderCup.com stream. Or, if you've hit rock bottom and are sitting at home watching and in lieu of adult beverages, needing a medium still faster than Twitter to get through this biennial boondoggle show.
