The only thing normal about this British Open are John Daly's pants

As Tom Watson finished his first hole of the third round of the British Open at Turnberry, I was struck by how odd it was that the 59-year hall-of-famer was a co-leader.

And then I thought about how strange it was that Tiger Woods stumbled about and missed the cut.

Then I was puzzled and pleased that former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino was tied with Watson for the lead, obviously trying to score the big win that so long eluded him in the NFL.

Really, John Daly’s pants are about the normal thing at this British Open; Should be a fun weekend.

Excuse me but the co-leader with Tom Watson is NOT Dan Marino - its Steve Marino. Are you even watching the British Open?????

Dan Marino? God bless him. I wish him luck. He's an Ok guy it seems like. Have a friend who gave his oldest child "Marino." Goes good with his name, though, so it's cool. Good guy.

Left out that he gave his child "Marino" as a middle name. And it sounds euphonic with the kid's name. Not like getting "Rothelisberger" as a middle name.

So, what's everyone watching?

I also thought it was Steve Marino. However, I came upon this site looking for an update on John Daly. But the golf is riveting.

I can't seem to find the betting odds for Dan Marino vs. John Daly's pants for tomorrow. Please advise as a matter of extreme urgency.

PS The trash exporters from UK were Brazilians -were they just sending home souvenirs?

I guess there isn't much attention being paid over the players when the pants of particular players are the subject for the post!!
