  1. But that's on top of needing Apple+ or whatever, right? But they had a ton more games on TV before the Apple deal. Like it already existed and was on TV and the league is trying to get more and more popular. This season meanwhile there are 34 games in total on national TV/cable which is barely one game per team. Compare the MLS coverage/reach to the WNBA's: It just feels like it was a shortsighted move by the MLS to take the money and as a result seriously restrict where casual fans and local fans can view matches. There are a lot of people (like me) that are soccer fans and sports fans in general that want to watch their local team play 5 or 10 or 15 or whatever matches per season and they turned that into a pain in the ass. I'm not interested in paying to watch Charlotte/Nashville or DC United/Chicago or even spend $20 or $25 on a month subscription where I don't wind up watching one Austin game. It seems like the move for MLS is to grow the sport locally/regionally and have people follow THEIR team/club - because there are much better soccer leagues out there that the soccer fans in America are already watching - on top of international soccer. It isn't like the NBA or NHL or MLB where fans of the sport are going to tune in marquee national matchups because those leagues play the game at the highest level - and because of that I would think it requires a different marketing strategy. The exception, obviously, is if you get superstars like Messi that already have a following - but if you're someone that only wants to watch Messi or (going back) Ibra or Kaka or whoever then you got paywalled just like anyone that only wants to watch their local club.
  2. Some reporter asked Rory today if he thinks anyone that follows him will get to 30+ wins and he goes "If Scottie keeps having 9 win seasons he'll get there pretty quickly" which was a perfect answer to a dumb question.
  3. Agyemang deserves the shout. Wright was just out for 4 months and has only gone 90 twice since then. Understandable to not call him up. Idk who Brian White is.
  4. I need a couple sources because I refuse to believe that even on reddit people are that fucking stupid. Teams seeded 14-16 have one won game in women's tourney history.
  5. I hope one of my near-death experiences took me out in that one.
  6. They need the tourney revenue to pay for Bill's girlfriend's handbag addiction.
  7. First Euro to win 2 Players. Just Seve and Faldo keeping him from being the best Euro ever if he kind of isn't already. A Masters or a couple more majors would make it hard to argue. I mean he's by far won the most in America of any Euro - 2nd to Vijay of non-Americans for PGA wins.
  8. How do we do play-ins? You get whichever team advances or you get points for the play-in but only if you get them right?
  9. At least I get what they were going for with Yamajesty. Wtf is Asiyan? How am I supposed to pronounce that? Ass-yan?
  10. Damn over half of Rory's wins have been coming from behind.
  11. It's bullshit for the in-person attendance but I don't mind late games for TV.
  12. Shit he may drop 2 shots here. (meant 3 - but Rory could Bog) Really feel for the guy. Motherfucker of a situation to sleep on esp. with these conditions. And it's just another day on Tour for Rory.
  13. Poor Spaun. Needed to win this yesterday.
  14. No just on golf. It is cold and breezy out there. Rory outdrives Spaun on 1.
  15. UH is pretty hard to pick against.
  16. Rodney Terry IV: Resurrection
  17. Welp. See y'all tomorrow.
  18. Idk how Rory and Spaun aren't shitting their pants on all of these shots.
  19. This is the best he's played in a big tournament I think. Didn't meltdown or choke on the weekend - just not quite good enough today.
  20. I mean I guess? He kind of had to win that game.
  21. Pretty damn good from Rory despite some dumb bitch screaming while he's on the tee. Bhatia has to be kicking himself for those 2 bird misses.
  22. Spaun looking really good if he can bird 16. -12 may win it or be a playoff. Gacks his approach but looking fairly safe.
  23. Um. Not really.
  24. Is she the one Ty Jerome called out lol?
  25. I don't think I ever posted this one here. I've posted BigX stuff and I think he's great but this dude he runs with Ro$ama (out of Dallas by way of Tyler/ETX) fucking annihilates the 2nd half of this track. Someone on YT put it best : "he's rapping like the landlord and the cops are outside"
