Run To The Hazards, Run For Your Lives


Who's the strangest motivational speaker you've ever had? We're not talking about the time Vin Baker came to your school to talk about the dangers or alcohol or Travis Henry talking about parental responsibility. We're talking about the one that just didn't seem to fit. Allow us to offer up the European Ryder Cup Team.

Captain Nick Faldo has signed up Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain as part of his backroom staff for this year's Ryder Cup. McBrain's job will be to motivate the players. Maybe he'll use giant puppets to help convey his message of slaughtering your opponent or how par is the number of the beast.

The Americans have to counter with their own rock guru. We humbly suggest Ronnie Dio, Nikki Sixx (read the Heroin Diaries before you complain - great read and don't know how the hell he's alive) or Henry Rollins (but only from the Black Flag days). Too bad David Coverdale is British. He would be perfect. If all else fails, American captain Paul Azinger should go with Christopher Cross. He's the only one who knows what to do if you get caught between the moon and New York City.
