"Way Too Early" host and "Morning Joe" co-host, Willie Geist, talked politics and sports in an interview with GQ.

[Excerpt]

GQ: Can I describe politics as sports for the uncoordinated?
Willie Geist: That's a good way to put it. The stakes in politics are much higher. Obviously. It's why you have a more serious conversation than you would about the Knicks game last night. There are elements of sport, though: Who's up, who's down. Strategy.

GQ: Romney's essentially been playing in Double A ball. How do you see him making the transition to the Big Leagues when he's really struggled to beat minor leaguers like Santorum? 
Willie Geist: I think Romney will make the transition better than he's getting credit for. He's got money ($8 million in cash on hand), he's got organization. He's been running for president for the last 6 years for, as Romney would say, "Pete's sake." He's a serious man and a serious candidate. If he loses, it won't be because he's not ready. It'll be because his own party, and many independents, just can't get excited about him. We'll see.

In the most recent edition of Golf Digest, "Way Too Early" host and "Morning Joe" co-host, Willie Geist told about the highs and lows of his first experience at The Masters professional golf tournament.  Willie's experience differed from many avid fans and golf enthusiasts because of his 5:30 am ET start time, he had to leave the party early to catch his flight and return to NYC.  

"If you're one of the fortunate few on this Earth with a pass to enter the gates of Augusta National on Masters Sunday, you don't leave early. You just don't. ... Unless you're me," Willie said.

The end of The Masters turned out to be a nailbiter for the players and Geist.  He recounts the moment of truth explaining, "After an agonizing 90-plus minutes in the air, our wheels touched down in New York, nearly 700 miles away from the site where we had abandoned the final round of the Masters. BlackBerrys and iPads were switched on immediately. The moment of truth."
