One of the greats...

Perfect fodder for the Sklar twins, the Garvey Billfish/Blue Marlin/Whatever tournament practically needs no comment but that doesn't stop 'em from hurling insults at the screen.

Let's start with the lesser section, the 1996 Bonilla bowling tournament is interesting in the sense that such high calibre baseball players (including Ken Griffey Jr.) would competed in a bowling alley at a bus station. The commentary is good, particularly on poor announcer who is clearly in over his head (he is currently on Animal Planet hosting the animal version of "funniest home videos").

Ah, Steve Garvey...what more can you say? His fishing/golf tournament is downright scary. Take for example "celebrity" guest & "rising" comedian Michael Floorwax who is NOT funny at all despite trying really, really hard. Add to that Garvey's un-funny bits (i.e. every time he's on screen) and blatant racism (a pudgy dude doing a "Native American dance" straight from Pro Wrestling) and the Sklars are having a ball with this one.

Try 'n get the hour long version if you can which includes a great opening set-up of the fish tourney ("Holy #%&!").
