  1. It’s clear that the PGA Tour will never be able to match LIV dollar for dollar. The Saudi PIF is too much to handle. Although they did go back to their sponsors and get a lot of new money for the “Top 50” tournament series starting next year.

    What it comes down to is that players who care about tradition and legacy are going to stick with the PGA Tour. And they’re not going to live in poverty either. Guys who are in it only for money are going to hop to LIV. I predict that LIV won’t exist for more than 3-4 years though.

  2. It’s pretty clear how Russia ended up like this. They get taken over by a dictator, who then kills / disappears a bunch of political opponents while stealing the national wealth to enrich himself. Reasonable and smart people realize this is a shit situation and leave the country ASAP. Repeat this cycle a couple of times and what you’re left with is a country populated only by thugs and sheep.

    Having no real knowledge of day to day life in Russia, how often does shit randomly burn/explode there? Recently, it seems like there have been enormous events like this almost daily…at least several times per week. Is that so common that it’s not raising any Russian spidey senses? Because if we hypothetically invaded Canada, and a bunch of stuff around the country started blowing up, I’m pretty sure we’d all be quite concerned about what was really going on.

    The Russians that don’t brain-drain themselves and leave the country seem to basically be sheep. They’re pretty much willing to take unlimited abuse as long as it comes from Mother Russia and not an outsider. They’ve also been conditioned to not speak out under any circumstances, otherwise they’re off to the gulag. It’s a sad sight, really.

    So Ukraine is writing off retaking Crimea, at least for now.

    That’s not how I interpret it…technically, Crimea doesn’t need to rebuilt right now. Although it probably will be after the massive battles that take place there. Ukraine has been pretty open about their intent to retake Crimea.

    Yeah, and you'd just about have to resort to polls to choose your championship game participants.

    I could see the big conferences only have eastern / western division championships (based on regular season results only - no championship game).

  6. If conferences reach 20 teams then what does it even mean to be a “member” of that conference? You play 5-6 opponents yearly, and then rotate 3 opponents? So you end up playing your “conference mates” every 4-5 years? Kinda sounds like the out of conference scheduling agreements we have now. 
     

    I get that it’s ultimately about TV contracts and money but the whole thing seems dumb.

    What does it take on the KF to get your card? is it like a points system where the top x guys at the end of the year get on the PGA? 

    The top 25 guys get a tour card. You can get there by accumulating points year-round (like the FedEx Cup) or by winning / placing highly in a couple of key tournaments to end the year.

    Not sure how the math works out for Coody since he only started competing late in the season, but a win today certainly won’t hurt.

  8. It appears that HIMARS is going to make a big difference. I understand why it took time to get them going though. You can’t give someone an advanced rocket system without 100% of the proper training. 
     

    I hope they have good missile and counter battery defense systems to protect them because they’re extremely valuable.
