What's the hold up?

Well OK, the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers went into overtime in Game One of the NBA Finals. They were no doubt gassed by the time it was over.

But wait a second. They then got three days off before the next game? In the same building? As in no travel? No wonder these things drag out so long.

Hey, they played a basketball game, which has plenty of breaks in the action to rest. It's not like running a marathon or slugging it out in a 12 round boxing match, much less getting into an octagon for the savagery that typically goes on there.

Now those folks need sufficient time to recover. But not basketball players. Good grief, they often play back-to-back games during the regular season. And they'll never be BETTER physically conditioned/in shape than they are after playing all year.

So what's the hold up? Three days of rest? Get outta here. Wimps.

Some golfers (notably Jordan Spieth, but there are others) drive me absolutely bonkers with their pre-shot rituals.

See them check with their caddie for the precise yardage. See them meditate over which club to choose. See them line up the shot. Tick, tick, tick. See them take 3-4-5 practice swings. Hey, they probably took a couple hundred practice swings on the range before they even started. How many do they need?

See them finally address the ball.

Oops, see them step away in indecision and start the whole process all over. Tick, tick, tick.

Finally, mercifully, it appears they might actually, you know, hit the dang thing.

And then -- evidently somebody in the gallery breathed just a little too loudly. So they start the ritual all over yet AGAIN. Tick, tick, tick.

Good grief. Trump has tweeted four or five more times. Men need to shave -- again. Flowers have bloomed and wilted. Women have gone into labor and delivered.in the time it takes some of these guys to hit one golf shot.

And then they sail it into the woods, or dump it into a sand trap, or the water?

Hey, any duffer could do that in a fraction of the time. Even a klutz like me.

So what's the hold up?

Let's GO!!!
