Is anyone excited about this year's Ryder Cup? No Tiger. No Montie. What's the point then right? I'm sure there will be song very intriguing stories to come out of it, like some rookie playing out of his mind and stealing the show. But really, you have to admit how difficult it's going to be to actually watch this thing. So how about we give you a few reasons!
7. Val "Holla!"
The name of the course brings the Ryder Cup enough "street cred" to make T-Pain proud. Err...Lil Wayne proud...err <insert someone with actual "street cred" here>. OK, so maybe it's not that gangster, but at least it's in Kentucky! Kentucky...
6. Anthony "Don't Call Me" Kim
The guy plays the game the way it should have always been played. He plays fast, fierce and with some f-ing attitude. He doesn't mess around with that 10 minute pre-shot routine and 2-3 backoffs from a putt. You damn senior citizens and rednecks need to take a page out of this guy's book. Plus, can't you already see Sunday night's headline? "Tiger Who?"
5. Uniforms Baby!
4. Slight chance that Faldo and the Zinger Throw Down.
They've been co-workers and enemies and friends and everything else you can think of. But we all know deep down inside that Nick Faldo is your classic Euro prick. He'll pull some shotty move and the Zinger will come flyin' across the course on an electric Benz in knickers with a sand wedge! OK, unlikely, but at least your brain is cranking now, right?
3. Sergio's Moment to Shine.
I know what you're thinking, and yes, I hate Sergio as much as the rest of you. Is there anything funnier though, than "Serg" winning a couple of matches, actually thinking he can win the big one for that split second and then realizing he never has or will? Nothing makes an American glow more than the rise and complete tumble of Sergio Garcia.
2. Tiger Sighting!
What has elevated the world of golf to enormous heights over the last 10-12 years? Mr. Tiger Woods. And what would make you actually watch this year's Ryder Cup? A Tiger sighting! It would be just like Eldrick to show up on Sunday during the final sets of match play with his EURO wife, while Justin Leonard storms the 18th in a throwback after dropping birdie to take out Garcia and Padraig to win 1-up. (Ok, pits are sweating.) Who's excited now!
1. Mohammed Ali Approves.
I think that says it all!

Val Holla! Nice
Ummm... the flag in the Olympic uniform link looks like the Swiss flag, not the Swedish flag.
And we've gone ahead and fixed that...embarrassing!
Ooooh, the dreaded anon strikes again!
Hopefully the Americans can keep up the hot start and take back the cup. Having it in even years and the President's Cup in odd years (and Europe dominating the damn thing for the last few times) has hurt my interest a little, but I'll be watching this weekend in between my many hours of football.
Maybe Anthony Kim is the fresh, exciting face that golf needs to give Tiger a run over the next few years. Certainly doesn't seem to be fzed by the pressure of playing on the big stage, though we'll have to see how he does on Sunday in singles play to really test him on the clutch-o-meter.
