Good for them. I’ll take this opportunity to make an announcement -

We haven’t hit Memorial Day yet, and Aaron Judge has already posted 3.5 WAR. He’s sporting a 266 OPS+

Ruthian numbers.

People can say what they want. But any QB that has ever has success was on same page with his WRs, which took countless reps. You can tell Nico and his WR were not on same page, meqning he couldnt anticipate cause he didnt know nor did they.

^^^ This - no doubt.

Deep routes require good timing. This O scheme in particular needs completed deep balls to work effectively. QBs need to anticipate without hesitation, WR's need to get to the spot and compete for the ball. It takes both doing their jobs. Nico did not get that aspect of his job done well. All are to blame including O-line play, but we frequently saw ample QB time with WR's open and the ball sailing away from them with late passes. Frustrating.

Heup can dial back the pass distance/routes with quicker releases and good timing. A 30 yard pass hit more quickly can turn into the 50+ yard bomb if the QB/WRs are on the same page. That's what I hope Aguilar can do well and get this O moving again. That's what I saw in G-Mac in the O/W game. Quicker reads, decisions and accurate delivery.

As you say - countless reps. Get it done with all three QB's.

I do, too, but sometimes influence needs to be exerted. The LIV situation has always been ridiculous.

I agree. Needed to be renamed the Greg Norman Revenge Tour.

I have no problem with another pro tour starting or guys wanting to take the big money and go play it. That is freedom and capitalism - have at it.

To those guys I say don't expect to receive the same privileges with the former tour that made you a name in the sport that you just abandoned after they invested into you. You left on your own. Take the money, be happy and quit whining. Nobody in the world rankings leadership has to include or give you equal credit since you no longer compete in the same manner as the PGA or DP World tours.

Nothing about the LIV format is interesting to me, but I get why it may be to other fans/golfers. I value the incredible competition, tradition and history of the PGA Tour far more.

Happy Wednesday

Morning Devotional – May 14, 2025
Refuse to get irritated about issues that are inconsequential in the long run. Do the best you can, if you can, to correct the problem and move on. Circumstances around you are never going to be perfect. So, you have to take the good with the bad and be as kind and gentle as you can be.

Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

and again, golf doesn't need government intervention.

It isn't the government, it will be a totally private venture.
Word is that The President and Tiger are collaborating on a creating a new PGA tournament that will be included as a major tour stop. It will be a skins game format between the three top rated PGA golfers at the time and President Trump. If the player is not an American they will have to play a tariff to play, American golfers play free.
The skins will be called conquests. For example the first hole could be for the Panama Canal, the second Greenland, the third Canada, the fourth Gaza, and so on. Kinda like Risk on the links.
The President is currently training with RFK jr and is having Callaway manufacture a new driver of his own design, The Big Beautiful Wood ( this is a family show, so I won't go into the headcover he has designed). The President has tested a prototype and it is rumored that he hit his balls 650 yds.

Golf, or any recreational activity that doesn't harm or help anyone beyond entertainment, is not an example where government needs to exert influence. It's a game. None of the players involved were being used unfairly or illegally like college athletes.

Uh, the LIV is financed by the nation of Saudi Arabia. I think that is government influence.

Pate picked up pieces of the stuff that went down behind the scenes. Basically big money and BOT wanted one guy, university admin wanted another. UNC did a pretty good job of getting everyone on the same page at the end but this doesn’t go well that whole program could unravel from boosters to admin. Reminds me a lot of us moreso of Auburn.

Just glad this kid decided not to go there.

Bump.

Well this one went off the rails far quicker than I would’ve thought
