Earlier this week, Norm MacDonald and his son, Dylan, wrote a piece about last weekend’s PGA Championship. They wrote the article after Vice Sports reached out to Norm about writing a bi-monthly column for their site.

We know all this because today Norm took his Twitter followers through the whole ordeal, so keep in mind it’s all gleaned form his own perspective and we have yet to hear the story from Vice.

Vice didn’t ever actually run the story, so Norm decided to share its brilliance on Twitter instead. Let’s take a look at what happened, from the perspective of comedian, Norm MacDonald.

First the backstory to the piece, according to Norm.*

I got a call from my agent last week that Vice magazine wanted me to write an article for their online sports site. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

An offer was made. They wanted me to write something every 2 weeks. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I accepted the offer but said I'd only write the stories if I could do it with my son. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I watched the PGA championship with my boy, and on Sunday evening, after Day turned into Major Winner, we wrote the peice. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

So, to rehash, Vice wanted Norm to write a piece (according to Norm), but he would only do so if he could do it as a joint venture with his son. Father and son then watched Jason Day win this past weekend’s PGA Championship and wrote their piece together afterwards. But all does not go as smoothly as you might think, which is why we’re now telling you about it. Here’s Norm:

All we were told is that it should be between 300 and 1000 words. It was the first thing I'd ever written jointly with my boy. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

But I knew he was a better writer than me and he is also very funny. So we wrote it and sent it to Vice. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

On Monday, I looked on Vice's Sports page and the piece wasn't up. My agent told me that Vice said not to worry, not time sensitive. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I'd written before for the nonpareil Bill Simmons and I follow many fine Sports sites. Sports is very time-sensitive. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Then I got a call from my agent saying that Vice was now saying any piece my son and I wrote would have to be revised after editors saw it. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I said fine. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

This is where it gets closer to real time, with an editor calling Norm to — presumably — discuss the piece in question. Except, that’s not how it goes.

A minute ago I got off the phone with an editor from Vice. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

He said he thought it would be better if I interviewed athletes because he said he found athletes to be naturally funny. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Some might say athletes are naturally athletic and comedians naturally funny. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

So, I told him, Sure, I'll interview athletes. He asked if I had their numbers or if that would be something Vice would have to do. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I said I had very few professional athlete's phone numbers. He sighed. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

I said I had very few professional athlete's phone numbers. He sighed. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

This next one was perhaps the most damning of tweets Norm sent about Vice Sports.

I'd heard a lot about Vice and how hip it is. Whenever I hear the word "hip" I get very nervous. So I went to Vice Sports on my computer. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Go to Vice Sports on your computer and see what you see. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Anyway, I had a fine talk with the Vice editor on how difficult it is to get the phone numbers of hilarious athletes. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

And, after I hung up, I realized we had not discussed the piece my son and I wrote after the PGA championship. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

So, even though it is not up to Vice Sport's high and hip standards, it will still be good enough for you lot. Would you like to read it? — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

He then goes on to RT various people asking him to publish the piece he and his son wrote on Twitter. He, thankfully, obliges. Here, uncut, is Norm and Dylan MacDonald’s piece about last weekend’s PGA Championship.

THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Jason and Jordan and the legacy of Tiger Woods. by Dylan Macdonald and Norm Macdonald. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

It was Jason Day who prevailed Sunday at Whistling Straights, as the rest of the field became gallery, watching the final twosome… — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

…of Jason and Jordan compete for the 97th PGA in match play format. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Tiger watched from home. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

And the boys in the booth all talked about Tiger being done. He is not done of course. He will win. And sooner than you think. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

But, for now, Woods can take comfort in the knowledge that this new generation of the young and the fearless are his creation. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Tiger came to the tour in 1996, with the novel idea that an athlete might do ok in golf. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Before Tiger, the greatest golfer who ever lived was Nicklaus, a man whose nickname was "Fat Jack". — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

This monicker seemed a mite cruel so was replaced and Nicklaus became "The Golden Bear". — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

He was now named after a creature that spends all of its time accumulating fat so it can sleep for an entire season. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

That's a lot of fat, Jack. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

But, in fairness, all the golfers of his time were also big, fat guys and Nicklaus was, without debate,the greatest fat golfer who ever ate. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Then came Tiger. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

He looked different than every one else on tour. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

First, he was black. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Second, he spent his days in the gym and not eating ice cream from sun till moon. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

And the young kids watching at home took notice. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

And now the young boys who grew up watching Tiger have finished growing up and are beating their hero. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Without Tiger, no Jason Day, no Rory, no Spieth, no Dustin Johnson or Bubba Watson, no Jason Dufner. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Well, actually there'd still be Jason Dufner. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

One cannot speak of Tiger Woods, of course, without mentioning race. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

Before Tiger, there was only a handful of African-American golfers on the tour. Now, that has all changed. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

In the end, Tiger Woods' legacy can be seen in the faces of all the African-American golfers in the PGA today. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) August 21, 2015

And Fin.

“That’s a lot of fat, Jack,” is clever by itself, but the sociological nuance Norm and Dylan exhibit in the piece is astounding. Perhaps Vice Sports only wants Norm to interview “naturally funny” athletes, but Norm and his son Dylan can write for Uproxx Sports whenever they want.
