True. And Al Green and Jasmine Crockett.

Don't forget Steve Cohen.... he may be the worst of the bunch.

There is no cap, but Augusta now strongly recommends that former champs stop playing when they can't play at least to a reasonable level.

I can remember when Billy Casper, Gay Brewer, and other former champions used to go out there an hack it around for 2 days into their 60s/70s. Augusta would send them out right after the honorary starters finished.

As long as people like Couples and Langer can play reasonably, I don't think Augusta has any issue with them playing.

But Michigan and Indiana, two core Big 10 teams, won titles on basketball and football in same academic year.

Making it more memorable, if you had said prior to this year that it would be Indiana in football and Michigan in basketball (not the other way around), people would have said you were crazy as hell.

NC State winning the 83 NCAA Tourney has to be up there.

Had to win every game in the ACC tournament just to get in the field, then won it all by beating a team no one in America thought they could beat. They probably could have played Houston 10 more times and not come close to winning. But, they did it when it counted.

You should look into the concept of “ghost jobs”.

"Ghost jobs" are online job postings for roles that do not exist or that employers have no immediate intention to fill, with research indicating up to 34% of companies currently use them. These listings, often used to build talent pipelines, signal growth, or manage current staff, waste applicant time and create false impressions of a robust job market.

There is another issue that is causing some of the 'Ghost Jobs'. I'm a manager in accouting for a pretty large corporation. Our HR department makes us post any job opening that we have internally (which also auto posts it on numerous job sites) even when we already know who we are going to hire for the position. Thus, for at least 5-10 days, there a job posted that no one will ever even consider any of the applications. It absolutely pisses off every manager, and I've even tried to make the outside posting argument to stop it. No luck. Just another example of HR departments being absolutely useless.

If it's Crockett, she has no chance and it will be a bloodbath. If it's Talarico, I have a feeling ol' Jasmine isn't going to take the loss well and will not unify the party like it was both times against Cruz.

I called it a few days ago....

I can't help but think someone is controlling him, or blackmailing him.

He's the sole reason you don't have Merrick Garland on the USSC. He also made sure all of Trump's first term noms got through. He may hate Trump, but his last 2 years indicate someone is controlling him. Wife maybe compromised?

I truly hope his end is as peaceful as possible...but all this fawning over him as some great human is a little over the top.

When the camera was on, he was one person. Day to day working with him was another. He was known to be a colossal prick to anyone he deemed an underling...which was most staff he dealt with day to day. I know personally how people within the athletic department at Arkansas absolutely hated him.

And, don't forget this prime example of what a prick he could be... berating a young female intern because he thought he was too important to stand and wait for an interview for 90 seconds.



Just watch that camera grin completely turn to a scowl and him storming off when the camera interview turns off.

May his end be peaceful, more peaceful than how he treated day to day people he worked with.

Somebody needs to tell Jo that the West Wing and the Oval Office needs to be torn down, because they were added at the sole discretion of Teddy Roosevelt and FDR.

No one person can do that!!!!!!!

Some of the ancillary characters are the best, primarily the parents of each of the main characters.

Sheldon and Leonard's mothers are absolutely fantastic, especially the episodes where they interact with each other.

Kathy Bates is in a few episodes at Amy's mother, and she is hilarious.
