  1. I'm jealous. But OU still sucks.

    Our entire damn pool of strikers has been on a mental break for the past 15 years.

    Where ever CP10 ends up, it needs to be somewhere that runs with true wingers. Ever since Tuchel came along, CP10's game changed for the worst because he never got reps as a winger (Tuchel doesn't use wingers). Now CP10 spends a ton of time in the middle of the pitch which is not his strong suit or out on the wing, crowded out by a wing back. That has translated over to the national team as well. If we want the old CP10 back, I think he has to transfer this summer and then we cross our fingers that 3 months at a new club that runs true wingers is enough to get him back into his old habits before the WC.
  4. If one of your core arguments for your jackass behavior is "I'm Surly 0.01%", maybe don't get caught groping a flight attendant on fucking Frontier.
  5. That's a bad comparison. Some of these one year rentals are first round picks (e.g. Jordan Addison) - NFL minimum isn't relevant. Even in round 5+, by which time a lot of these expensive 1 yr rentals will land, you're making over league minimum, though not much more, and that's a commitment of $650k+ for multiple years vs $650k for 1.
  6. You work for Lenovo?
  7. Part of me misses the days when Ted Cruz was the worst part of the Republican Party and there was still some level of respect there. But this wheels on fire shit is entertaining and I'm here for all of it.

    Fucking shootouts are the worst. They just give futbol hooligans a scape goat so they can ignore the previous 120 minutes (see dickhead racist English fans post Euro calamity). Play 120 and if tied, play 15 minute sessions sudden death. Give an extra substitute every two sessions. If you run out of players, you can start bringing back players (though I imagine this would likely never happen). I know that's not an original thought but it sure sounds a hell of a lot more fair than a fucking shootout.
  9. Just need BWG to declare for the draft and we'd be all roses.
  10. The changes Merc made looks like it made the porpoising worse. Like a lot worse. Russell and Hamilton are going to need a bottle of Advil each.
  11. Swung Vokey's for years and just put a Cleveland RTX Zipcore 60 in the bag. I might be a convert.
  12. Clearly that discipline is not shared by GoTJ while posting.
  13. That guy is going to have a "heart attack" in the coming days.

    Test pattern here as well. Game delayed 30 minutes due to weather. Enjoy the multi color bars for a bit.

    Over the air, channel 54. Though all I'm seeing right now is a lovely picture of the cedar park water tower.
  16. I don't know what the fuck a hamate is but golf is very dependent on the left hand. It's not just idle or there for support like in a lot of other sports so it doesn't shock me that the injury happened on his left side. The modern golf swing also has you holding your left wrist through impact which I'm sure causes a lot duress - tense left wrist + 200mph ball speed sounds violent.
  17. His tee shot on #12 was because he misread the wind. He hit a good shot that got smoked by the wind. His immediate commentary suggests as much I'm not going to comment on the "mental" side of his game, his confidence, his belief, etc... - I don't have insight into his head, only his swing that I can see with my eyes.

    Why? Because he missed two scoring opportunities against RM? Those two "opportunities" were low probability at best. If it's just because of his poor form for Chelsea in general, then I can't disagree but I'm guessing a bunch of football hooligans aren't thinking for much longer than a snap judgement.
  19. This non stop dialog around Jordan's pre shot routine is fucking tiresome. And then these talking hacks clamor on about how he's thinking too much about his swing. The whole point of his pre shot routine is to get the feel for an exaggerated position and transition - he's not thinking about his swing, he's trying to feel it. His actual swing is VERY different. He's a feel player. Contrast this to JT's pre shot routine, he sticks the club straight back, stares at it, makes sure it's right (clubhead slightly closed, pointing up, shaft down the line), then swings. The swing is nearly identical to his pre shot routine. He's very mechanical. Two different approaches, both of which are effective - the mechanical pre shot routine will always look prettier but it's asinine to think Jordan is all out of sorts with his full swing just because of his pre-shot routine. He's top 50 SG T2G. It's also tiresome hearing how Jordan is a top putter on tour with a wicked short game - he just isn't anymore. Hopefully, he gets that back soon as he's apt to do.
  20. The fact that a football message board is still talking about Tiger after he shot +113 at the Masters 3 days ago underscores his continued importance to the game. For me, it's that simple - if it helps the game, I'm all for it. And for now, Tiger definitely helps. Doesn't mean I root for him to win, but I'm also not going to bitch and moan about the coverage because that coverage brings eyeballs and growth to the game.
  21. Tiger is a cheetah?
  22. From a neutral standpoint - the MF three of Kante, RLC, and Kovacic looked gassed about 75 min into the game and RM started to get a lot more opportunities as a result. I couldn't believe Tuchel didn't sub any of them until AET and only used one sub in regulation. RLC in particular looked as lively as anyone in the 1st half but just didn't have the legs pretty quick in the 2nd. This one feels like a dang coaching mistake.
  23. Mason County just got a severe t-storm watch - is it happening?
