Two years ago this week, CBS Sports’ Jim Nantz joined us on our podcast. He was being driven to the San Francisco airport getting ready to call the Memorial Tournament on the weekend. As most guests, Jim agreed to an interview in the 10 minute range. To our surprise, the conversation lasted much longer. More…
