PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — We’ve reached out to some of our area sports radio big shots to see if they want in on this week’s contest. (Quick recap: Submit five golfers, and we’ll give points for each place finish. If you send in Steve Stricker and he wins that’s 1 point. Whoever finishes 15th will be worth 15 points, etc. If one of your guys misses the cut, it’s 100 points. The winner will have the lowest score. Questions? Interested? Winner gets four Braves tickets. We’ll update later today/tomorrow the list of entries and you have until tomorrow morning to enter.)
We’re on vacation so here’s the structure – we’re going to have one or two comments and then a top three or four list and call it a day. From our satellite studios here along the Gulf, here we go.

Now that TBS has made the full-time switch to comedy let’s just say that the Braves are not easily findable on the cable dial here at the Redneck Riviera. That’s not funny. Think what the Braves got out of being the South’s team – and yes, Florida does not count as the South, but you know what we’re saying.
So it goes, we guess, but the fact that the Braves have been AWOW (absent without watching) for the 5-at-10 has been surreal. And maybe that’s how Dan Uggla hit a homer. His struggles were the 5-at-10’s fault all along. And Chuck Barkley was right, we can blame the media for everything.
