"We've got to have a climactic finish"

I've been a little busy and the Ryder Cup was just too good to let go of, so I haven't read Tim Finchem's press conference very closely but it looks like he was in one of his more long-winded modes, and we know how well that usually turns out.

I did see this from Doug Ferguson regarding the FedEx Cup.

Finchem said he expects a good week and big crowd, and it helps that Saturday's round will be played early, so as not to conflict with the NBC broadcast of Notre Dame football. Thankfully, Georgia plays Alabama on Saturday night.

In the meantime, he said changes to the FedEx Cup appear imminent.

``We've got to have a climactic finish,'' Finchem said. ``It's going to build to a finish.''

That's why he makes $5 million a year. It only took two years for him to figure that out.

I thought golf had a problem competing for viewers against the NFL. Now Tim is worried about college football?
I don't get it, but then again, I'm not from the States so maybe I'm missing something?

College football is big here, at least two games are shown live on a Saturday on major channels. Many purists consider NCAA football more authentic than the NFL.
Yet the NCAA needs to resolve its season-ending Bowl series as there's much debate as to who are the rightful champions...a bit like the FedEx Cup really.

the FedEx Cup is this week end? I can hardly wait. Can they plan a "wardrobe malfunction" to make it interesting?

is a "climactic finish" the same as a "happy ending" ?

do ya think the commish secretly listens to howard ?

dear jim beckner,

for a recent "wardrobe malfunction" see john daly playing shirtless and shoeless on youtube - it's not a pretty sight - so be careful what you ask for
