That is Awesome! I thought the same thing. What a great character and his promos were gold.

Not everyone

For $900 million dollars…..who would say “No” to LIV golf?
Ok

[peaygolf]

yep…. i wonder how many on this board would be yelling roll tide for the right amount of money.

The offer me $900 million…….hell yea. Id drape my arse in houndstooth

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Thanks Jimmy

That really depends on how much natural ability you have. Luka does less time on the treadmill than I do. Does just fine.

Haha, I bet Luka puts in a lot more hours in the offseason than anyone with a full time regular job could physically do.

Same, wouldn’t change my heart though. I’d just get real good at faking it.

Free @skeeter33418

Lol. How many would recognize that handle if it popped up?

 

[85SugarVol]

Now that we know MLB at that time was the equivalent of HS Baseball - What would that have meant for the college game, equivalent of little league?

If you count golf as a sport, a hole-in-one is right up there as well.

Golf is a sport and I have 5 of them

KenSuck crowd is lame.

So I'm assuming you have no issue with the LIV boys.

Edit: Geez. Sorry. Reading this post to which I responded, I was assuming you were talking about football. Clicking back through thevrelevant posts, I see you were discussing LIV (Rory) directly.

 

[85SugarVol]

I don’t think the average (or good for that matter) non-baseball player athlete can hit good high school pitching.

Would depend on the “good” HS pitching.

But yea, if we’re talking elite pitching prospects about to get drafted - highly unlikely.

 

[mrMet]

"more often," meaning equal amount of luck in each would yield better results in baseball vs football.

This mystique around baseball is new to me, never seen so many people in awe of it like it's the pinnacle of athletic or competitive difficulty.

I have not once said it’s the pinnacle of athletic or competitive difficulty.

I disagree on the better results part and my quote was directly correlated to the amount of luck regarding the sports I quoted.

 

[LaagerVol]

they went from 1 win and broke to bringing in more money than they have probably made in several years combined…. Its not a bad thing

Until he leaves and their program is gutted worse than ever.

 

[Batman1948]

Probably easier, tho, to make contact with a baseball, than it is to actually aim a golf ball. It's not the hitting of the golf ball that is difficult. It's the putting it in the hole off of one shot from the tee.


Also, I hate golf.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you can't hit a golf ball out of your shadow

Ok

That’s not in a vacuum though. If LIV is offering you $900 million, it means you are successful and making millions already. I’ve seen McIlroy’s net worth as high as $170 million. 900 over some time is certainly more, but he’s already made generational wealth, and it will keep coming. At some price point, decisions aren’t just made about money. If it was one of us, then it’s totally different.

Ya you're right, I kind of lumped in all the posts in my reply. Yours wasn't that extreme.

 

[mrMet]

Muuuuch less controllable when professionals are flying at you while you're trying to do something. None of us here would control a soccer ball more than 2 seconds against pros. No chance to begin with. There goes your luck opportunity.

An NFL qb has about 3 seconds, at most, to both drop and make a decision...while trying to throw over 6'5+ dudes...while the scariest dudes on earth are flying at you. Talk about shizzing your pants.

Actually, I'd like to revise my answer to playing OT and ever having a shot against a pass rusher


Baseball, it's you and the pitcher and ball. Fewer variables than other sports. Those guys take the luck out of your hands before you even have a chance.

My original post on this topic said to disqualify football from the list, it’s really baseball vs basketball.

But of course, I can tell you have never fielded a piss missle of a ground ball then threw it to first base, chased down a fly ball, or tried to hit the cutoff man while a runner is rounding third headed home. Much less try to hit a 90mph heater that has 15 inches of movement

 

[Vol423]

If you count golf as a sport, a hole-in-one is right up there as well.

The albatross is far more rare than a hole-in-one. I've only see one albatross...Louis Oosthuizen at Augusta's Hole #2. He holed out to card a 2 on the Par 5 from 253 yards in 2012.

 

[mrMet]

Oh chit.

Penny will still find a way to piss down his leg when it matters most

2 run bomb for the Vols. Ensley.

Wasn't expecting that boom!!!!
