Recruiting Football Talk VIII

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.

Yup. You can blow off the work and just show up on game day. Congrats, doofus.

Nobody was or is a better basketball player than MJ.

Period.

I say this will all respect...

Who gives a flying ****?

The President and Tiger are making golf great again.

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.

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.

He reportedly said, "The Motel 6 we are living in now is much better than that big house in Knoxville and Uber is really underrated."

I hope that Nico sucks so bad at UCLA that Madden becomes the starter.

And then he sucks too

 

[rikberry31]

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

Man I hope that's a legit quote from Nico....dude might be burning his own draft stock just from the delusional mindset he's showing after this situation.

Less money
Worse team
Less experienced staff
Less proven OL
Less talented WR room
No running game

But sure, a better situation...I can only assume him & his dad were a bit more fragile when it came to social media and fan comments than we ever realized. Cause UCLA fans are for sure not going to care how good or bad he's playing cause they're not watching anyway.

They are too busy studying.

How did they not vet him enough to know that he is tied up with some 24yo girl who he lets run the show now? I'd feel like a super-clown if I went to bat to hire this guy and he showed up with these shenanigans. . . maybe that's what they want, for media coverage.

Have any of you been to Easter Island and seen a Moai statue in person?

Thank you for posting these. I've been sharing with my wife who's in a challenging work situation and she's frequently commented to me about how much she's needed to hear the message. Turns out she's also sharing them with her widowed sister who just left an extremely toxic work situation and is trying to figure out her next steps for herself and teenager daughter. These posts have truly had an impact far beyond this forum.

When you hit the bottom of the hole, you’ve dug. You might want to stop digging. This has train wreck written all over it, getting my popcorn ready

Maybe he can get the ball to Hyatt.

Hmmmm. Never hear about this.

The New York Giants are excited about the potential of Jaxson Dart, but there's an understanding that he will have to wait a bit before making his debut.

Considering the offense he comes from at Ole Miss, which didn't ask him to go through full field progressions, it's fair to say that Dart has a steep learning curve when getting to the NFL.

No kidding. You cheat on your rich supermodel masterchef wife with a alcoholic trailer park queen with three kids. Your wife dumps you, and you say, "I'm really in a better situation, my ex kept asking me to take out the trash and now I just eat it for diner."

 

[rikberry31]

Well obviously this is stuff the Giants' staff has recently learned. Must have gone to a clinic.
