Sara Walsh, the host of NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football', recently sparked controversy with her rant about her husband Matt Buschmann's golf-playing habits.

In her lengthy commentary, Walsh expressed her frustration with her husband, who is a former MLB player and coach, for frequently playing golf and having to "ask for permission" to do so.

While her grievances may be personal, her rant attracted attention for its tone and content.

“Find a less time-consuming hobby,” she said.

Walsh's monologue began with a golf analogy, referring to her husband's behavior as an "unplayable lie." However, her subsequent complaints about the duration of a round of golf and the post-game socializing seemed to miss the mark.

“I just want to put that into perspective, the other side of the equation, the one in which you come to us with utterly unrealistic promises that can never be fulfilled, starting with this real unplayable lie,” Walsh said. “You are not going golfing [where] it’s ‘just’ going to take 3.5 hours. You know how I know that? Because not once in your history of golfing, has a round ever taken 3.5 hours. Not once."

She also criticized wives for interrupting their husband's golf games with phone calls, using the example of a trivial matter like a misplaced TV remote.

Many golfers adhere to the unwritten rule of not making or receiving calls on the course, suggesting that text messages would suffice for non-urgent matters.

The commentary generated mixed reactions, with some finding Walsh's frustration relatable and others perceiving it as an overreaction.

While personal preferences and dynamics within relationships vary, Walsh's generalizations and sweeping statements about golf and husbands sparked debates among fans.
