Phil really made the best choice he could. Yeah, he won at 51, but that was only the 4th win over 50 ever. No one over 51 has won anything. So, his options were: suck on the PGA Tour, play the Tour Champions, or LIV.

This is one of those threads that just shocks me. I honestly thought no one actually liked TRHCPs but the industry just thought people did. OTOH, Pearl Jam is pretty fantastic.
I have a cold area of my fridge and ice in a metal bowl takes a long time to thaw. I have kept them on that ice for a while and they have been fine.

I have had mixed results in containers. For cherry and grape, I have had very little to no BER. With paste varieties, it's been pretty much a disaster. The problem with the grape and cherry typed have been vine containment. Those things want to grow forever.

Look, I am not trying to make anyone dislike him. I will not argue that point with anyone. OTOH, I do not find any of these arguments convincing, for me. I think he was a terrible person. If you don't, that fine with me. I mean, even in the scene with the sword shards he comes off as a total arse.

All I know is what was shown in the movie. His only redeeming moment came at death. What was shown was a terrible person.
