  1. The US men’s basketball team sucks balls
  2. I went to a super-cheap version of a Top Golf in town a month ago and worked on straightening out my drive. It was an unmitigated and, thus far, sustained success. I just did 9 holes and was on the fairway at least 260 yards on every drive. I still only shot a 44, but it was 8 2-putt bogeys and a 2-putt par. So pumped to be noticably improving.
  3. ...because he wasn't trying to win?
  4. Did you miss the part of the story where there wasn't actually a racial slur? Or are you ok with calling someone out for racism where it didn't exist? I wanted them to not make an official statement claiming racism when they clearly didn't have all the information. Am I ok with calling "someone" out for racism? Yes. Obviously. Who exactly was the victim here?
  5. So, what happened, specifically, that was upsetting to you? [tweet] [/tweet]...you wanted him to say "slurs aren't a big deal" and/or "he was probably just saying "Dinger"? Sorry, I don't understand your frustrations.
  6. ...so this is twitter's fault? Of course not. But the mob mentality of social media is represented on Twitter, and those cries for immediate action don't always fall on deaf ears. It is fine to issue a statement that an investigation is taking place and racist behavior won't be tolerated, but it isn't fine to flag something as "abhorrent racial animus" when you don't have all the facts. So, what happened, specifically, that was upsetting to you?
  7. ...so this is twitter's fault?
  8. Go Cubs https://twitter.com/DannyDeraney/status/1424755244479569926
  9. 9/10 on the Derwood scale I mean, someone could have just linked to the story they were talking about I guess https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Rockies+Slur
  10. If one were so inclined to engage, which would be dumb, we're at least adding Puerto Ricos one gold to the US's count. But also it would be really dumb to get into said possing match. But just saying. Why stop there? Why not add Canada?
  11. Played a scramble tourney yesterday. I shot pretty well, but had to play in this: At least I didn't have to worry about getting sun burned.

  13. It was a delight to watch the Cubs get stomped by one of the worst teams in baseball and not even get the slightest amount upset.
  14. Yeah, I watched a bunch of wrestling online, but the officiating and announcing was so bad that I regretted tuning in. They got these two Brits who had NO CLUE what was going on, and they had to fake it for about three hours of footage. I felt bad for them, after a while.
  15. Relevant: Brandon McCarthy remains the best. Why isn't he hired by someone to produce some content?
  16. It's fine by me for anyone to feel this way, but the way I look at it, the Cubs won the WS and I'm mostly cool with whatever so long as A) I like the players I'm rooting for and B) that's it. Of course, winning makes me like players, but Javy had a lifetime pass no matter how many Ls the Cubs racked up, or swinging Ks he committed. I was pissed when we traded Yu, but now I'm just unteathered.
  17. Two ML'ers for one 19 year old isn't a very common swap you aren't getting quality and quantity for 2 months of javy baez everyone suddenly loves our players again I cannot believe anyone here does not love Javy, even if they say he swings and misses or whatever the hell. He is the coolest baseballer alive, and we all know it.
  18. At least Javy went out taunting Garrett...but really, he did so many awesome things, it was inevitable he was going to exit while having recently been a badass. Very pleased with my choice to not have watched a single Cub game on tv this year. Extremely displeased that I already bought tickets for next week's games in Denver.
  19. It isn't annoying me nearly as much as I would have assumed it would have two months ago, let alone two years ago. Not sure what a scuttle is, but this was the moment where Rizzo became the heart of the Cubs. Not like this is news to anyone here.
  20. Are we over 85% yet?
  21. So the Mrs and I were watching the synchronized board diving, and one of the Brits left his toes slightly off the edge of the board, and the announcer lady seemed nearly angry about it. It sounded like my Mom bitching about her neighbors, and we absolutely loved it. We were doing impressions of it, and then the when the Chinese went next, she was still stuck on the toes. "Notice how they kept their TOES on the board!?". Never laughed that hard at sports announcing in my life.
  22. As long as everyone is here to complain, the footage needs less swimming prelims, a LOT less beach volleyball, and absolutely no horsefeathering dressage. My personal request would be for all gold medal combat sport events be aired, but I know that's just me and I'll never get anything close to that.
