The 71 year old grandpa of 24 grandchildren will be handing the mic over to Paul Azinger starting in 2019. The last chance to hear him will be the Waste Management in Phoenix where things are likely to get emotional in the booth. I think we should miss Johnny on the mic - while he constantly reminds us of his glory days, a good dose of pure, honest thought never killed anyone. But it just might piss some players off - and hey, what’s wrong with that?

Johnny is part of a different generation than all of the current players. The generation where your grandfather might drop a highly questionable remark in a fairly public place about letting too many 'damn immigrants' into this country.

At least he always apologizes when he feels he went overboard "I tried to make a policy when I go over the line that I get ahold of the guy within 24 hours and tell him I made a double bogey, you know. That's just the way I have done it through the years."

Here are some top brutally honest moments during Johnny's career, along with my take on whether this comment was deserved.

1. Johnny learned not to mess with Rickie fans after this comment when Rickie won the Honda Classic.

"A win is a win, but you’ve got to learn to finish out Sundays like a true champion,” Miller said. “He hasn’t learned how to do that yet.”

Verdict: Undeserved. I may be one of those very defensive Rickie fans, who thinks every time there is a major he is going to break through. I've been sitting here saying ‘just wait....he'll do it this time’ for the past 5 years. He just needs to learn to finish out Sunday’s like a true champion….oh wait...

2. Johnny hypothesized Rory stopped winning because he goes to the gym too much.

"This is probably a controversial comment, but I think if he would have never gone to a gym he would have played way better the last five years ... I'm not sure in golf you need to be ripped."

Verdict: Deserved. Hard to disagree with him....Rory should bring back that chubby school boy look with the mini fro next year. I'm promising results.

3. Johnny’s famous comments during the 1998 Ryder Cup while Justin Leonard played four ball.

"My hunch is that Justin needs to go home and watch it on television."

Verdict: Deserved. I mean, Justin ended up sinking a 40-foot putt on the 17th hole at Brookline to basically clinch the Ryder Cup for the U.S. team. But, Leonard has never done better than halve a Ryder Cup match. And the US allegedly used Miller's comment as fuel their fire. Hey, if something like that could have gotten our boys going in France this year, I would've taken it!

4. Johnny said Lefty's game may need some help.

"If he couldn't chip he'd be selling cars in San Diego."

Verdict: Deserved. Just absolutely true. No offense...chipping is what makes you great, Phil.

5.  In reference to Peter Jacobsen's shot at the 1990 Bob Hope Classic and his first tournament in the booth.

"The easiest shot to choke on"

Verdict: Well, just honest. Miller was probably drawing on his career and how he would feel in the moment. Consider it a lens into the mind of a pro-golfer.

6. "I don't want to brag but I do more homework on the course than any other announcer. I chart the greens to get all the breaks. I walk down into greenside bunkers. I walk into the fairway bunkers to see whether a player can the green from them."

Verdict: Arrogant, yes. Probably a better way to position this, but I do appreciate when an announcer puts in the hours to inform himself before going on air.

7. "He goes to The Masters and really fell apart from pressure. The first time in his whole career I can say that Tiger actually gagged just a little bit because he wanted it so bad. He's going after Nicklaus's record, 18 majors."

Final Result: T40 at Augusta in 2012.

Verdict: Deserved. Truth hurts, huh? He's not saying Tiger is a choker, or isn't one of the best players of all time. He's saying Tiger had a bad tournament. That's ok, move on.

8. "Guys with the name of Rocco don't get the trophy, do they? He looks more like the guy who cleans Tiger's swimming pool."

From the 2008 US Open.

Verdict: Deserved. Who has their name on the trophy again?

9. "If you're a bad putter, you will not make a putt. If you have a tendency to chili-dip wedges, you'll be chili-dipping them all over the place for sure. Whatever your weakness, it will come up in spades during the Ryder Cup."

Verdict: Fair. #2018RyderCup  Example A: Bryson DeChambeau and his putting.

10. “He could miss this.”

Every weekend Miller commentated, ever. Hope he is still saying this from his couch at home. Or maybe even tweeting something out.

Also, yes - I realize the only unfair comment (in my opinion) was his target towards Rickie. I said at the beginning and I’ll say it again now - I’m an unapologetic Rickie fan boy and I hope we can be friends some day.
