ESPN's new Masters ad is its best one yet
Because golf fans' life revolves entirely around the Masters (ONLY 42 MORE DAYS!?!!?!), and because ESPN happens to be the broadcaster of a portion of that event, it's been systematically dropping a series of promos to get us all very excited.
All of them feature Tom Rinaldi as the narrator, so grab the tissues. Here's the first…

And now, we have a third, which is my personal favorite so far. It's about the magic of the roars in Augusta National, and some of Rinaldi's lines are pure poetry. An example:
"The peace around the pressure. The whisper, before the thunder. It's nature's arena, and within it, there are moments. Born from silence, and remembered in echoes."
Brilliant. Here's the spot.

What was my favorite Masters roar, you ask? There can only be one.
