I skipped most of that episode…coukd see the train wreck from a mile away. It sucks because there were tons of people there who would have relished the opportunity and this guy couldn’t even keep himself in check for a shot at $1.3M

Wow! I saw him at Redstone right after Hannah’s burning incident and chatted with about it/her. Super nice guy. think he called Michael Phelps and USA team relay swims in 2008…very memorable stuff.

Yep. I got him fitted for a driver last year and he was swinging it like 102-103. I caddied for him the old course this summer and he shot 79 and we played 12 holes earlier that day at another course. I’m he plays copper mill with a bunch of guys his age who can’t hit it anywhere so they play way up. my dad is driving some of the 4’s and hitting wedges to the 5’s so he’ll shoot some silly numbers out there. He’d be great in a scramble if they let him play the up tees.

That’s awesome! Great round and congrats. My dad has stayed in good shape and at age 77 he’s basically shot his age tons of times playing from the up tees. The Guys he plays with can barely hit it anywhere but my old man has a full backswing and can still get it out there 250 or so off the tee. Keep in shape and you’ll be shooting under your age in no time!
Looked to me like Riggs was just playing a character trying to get cheddy riled up..like rh short putts, putting the pin back in, the potential penalty for improper marking, etc. I think he did it knowing it would drive views and provide a story. Cheddy seemed to get genuinely irked at him…kinda validating what Riggs was doing.


Also, cheddy moved his ball before placing a mark. I always thought you had to place a mark down before you touched your ball, and vice versa when you replace it. Ofherwise how would you know where to place it exactly?
I went into a Haagen Daz in Singapore about 20 years ago and these two Aussie expats came in with their girls both dressed provocatively…the high school kid working there told them they had to wait outside, so these fat middle aged aussies just hung out eating ice cream inside while their hookers waited outside for them. I’m pretty sure they were women at least.

think that there are 2 issues with Internet based radar for planes. 1) As far as I know there are no real time web-based radars. even for National Weather Service and local TV stations that have their own radar, the image has to bee has to refresh digitized, uploaded to the web server, and then the user's device has to refresh its connection to the web server and download the new image. In my experience with NWS they are typically about 5 minutes behind with the most recent radar image.


This is a good point. I’m guessing we probably don’t fund the National weather service like should. We’re too busy blowing on dumb entitlement programs and foreign bs.
I had starlink on the plane recently and was amazed at how not performed streaming live tv to my phone. Would starlink allow aircraft to get better ground radar data to make better more informed decisons on routing or is the on/aircraft radar system superior to that? Sorry if it’s a dumb question as I only hav experience with old school marine radar systems and have no idea what modern air craft have access to.
Skimmed toward the end of the matches with a few stops randomly. Man that Andrew Santino guy come off as a miserable prick. Is that a character or shtick or is that his authentic self?
Holy crap that looked like a missile. Well everyone died instantly at least..hope they didn’t kill anyone on the ground

This is the most obvious conference protecting officiating I’ve ever seen., deplorable
Sorry to hear that news but your attitude seems incredible. Not comparable but I had shoulder surgery 15 years ago and after having my am in a sling I had to get it stretched back out…was incredibly painful but just being able to hit chip shots in the back yard was motivating and kept me going to the physical therapy appointments. So I think you will be able to use golf as motivation and mental energy to fight it!

Also…I got my first colonoscopy at 37 when having some GERD issues and having a family history of colon cancer. I had a precancerous tumor and so now I’ve had 3 more of them since then. I’d go every year if they let me…most preventable cancer out there….i think there’s obviously stuff in our food supply causing al this…maybe glyphosate or sugar…I hope AI helps us figure it out and the politicians have the balls to shun big corporations pushing for these things to be legal…sorry for the politics rant on here but stuff like 39 year olds having stage 3 colon cancer is alarming/maddening.

Texans gonna lose another 4th quarter lead…would be fourth of the year
I always tell people that the BCS broke itself when it forced a rematch…when the entire point was to have two teams play each other that otherwise would not due to bowl alliances and schedules. I knew it was over as soon as that happened..less so from the injustice of it to LsU and more so from the other conferences getting locked out
I’m down to see Cleveland in an ALCS…those fans have had a tough 30 something years
Why do the announcers think he wouldn’t have caught it? He was right underneath it.
It’s apparently hard to remember to cover ceedee lamb EVERY play. It’s like the Texans decided to celebrate 25 years by rolling out the franchises greatest hits…like going 0 and 4
