    He'll muff one eventually.

    Call my crazy, but I think maybe our problem is that we traded up to pick a bust QB at No. 2, then committed most of our remaining resources toward defense in a league where defense barely matters.

    Speaking as a 30-something fat guy, you can't be surprised when 30-something fat guys get hurt

    Do we have any running backs?
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    That was a terrible throw high and behind him. That's on the hand-picked QB. You're right but still screw Anthony Miller
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Not even a little bit surprised it was Anthony Miller. Although that was a bad throw.

    Just put this entire Bears era out of its misery tonight, please. Simple rule: If you don't have your QB, start over. I don't care how much you love the defense or how in their prime they are. If you don't have your franchise QB, keep starting over until you do.

    ...that's dumber than the Slate article, which I have to imagine was partially in jest. caring about individual golfers is the dumbest thing of all If you can't get excited about a frat douche named Bryson Dechambeau doing roids and pissing off country club douches who brag about how their US Open course is unbeatable, then perhaps it is you who is the dumbest thing of all. Also Tiger. Who didn't love Tiger?

    Bryson's best weekend beats just about anybody's best weekend right now, but no guarantees he'll have his best this weekend. Shot a personal-best 38 on the par-29 this morning. I've really got the routine down: miss the green, chip on, two-putt.

    You know what the next step is. Bears fandom just isn't ready to admit it yet. Clean house and rebuild from scratch. Bears fandom has wanted to clean house and rebuild every year for 30 years. And it's been the right call for like 27 of them.

    Pace's problem, besides not being able to identify QB talent, is that he has no sense of value. He sees the shiny thing, he pays whatever it takes to get it, then he runs out of resources for the rest of the roster. Then we all talk about how great the great parts of the roster are, it's a shame they're brought down by the bad parts. But that's always going to happen when you operate the way he does in a league where your cap space and draft capital are limited but you have no sense of their value.

    There was a Calvin and Hobbes comic I loved when I was a kid where Calvin says something about how the doubters think he can't do some insane thing he's about to do, then he fails and as he's on the ground he says "sometimes the doubters are right." And Hobbes says "we usually are." I can't find it though :(

    As most of us predicted, this will be the offseason everyone realizes we should have started rebuilding last offseason.

    Decided to play the regular tees today because nephew wasn't with me and I was grouped with other people. First hole - stick the front edge of the green, easy par. Being the only person in your group fixing a pitch mark is such a great feeling. Second hole - 40 yards longer than I'm used to, sliced it a little short and right. Had a 30-yard shot from a steep hill where the ball was basically at knee level. Stuck it to inside 12 feet, salvaged bogey. Third hole - dribbled the drive, hit the first good 3W I've ever hit on the course to make up for it, finished with a 9-footer for bogey that went straight in. Fourth hole - Left the tee shot a little short and right again. Hit what I thought was a nice chip over the bunker but it caught the steep fall-off near the hole and rolled down to the fringe. I had 15 feet for par from the fringe and up a hill. It looks like the weight is perfect but it's rolling a few inches right, then as it slows it veers left toward the hole and comes to rest hanging over the edge but not in. I'll definitely take that bogey. So I'm playing the tougher tees and I'm +3 through 4, ahead of my usual pace. So of course I get a call from the school that my kid seems a little lethargic today so to be safe I better come pick him up. Womp womp.

    lol this is such a mediocre football team and it's perfect for today's NFL

    Nephew hit a 12-footer for par today (his second ever) then an 8-footer for par on the very next hole. I shot my standard +11 40 today, and I only beat him by 4 shots. Putting has always been his biggest problem, if he starts to put that together, I may not be able to hold him off much longer. The course was packed so we got paired with two older gentlemen. It turned out perfect: It was so busy, we didn't need to feel rushed because it wasn't gonna be fast for anyone regardless. The first two holes were backed up a couple of groups each, but somehow by the time we hit the fourth, we were in perfect rhythm with the group in front of us, they were leaving right as we got to each hole. And the other two guys kept giving nephew tips and cheering for him, he loved it.

    Went double-triple-quad with 11 putts on the first three holes, then was +4 for the last 6 with three pars and one bogey from a bunker

    Was stuck behind a really slow foursome last time, so this morning when the clubhouse guy told me there was a big gap I could take if I went immediately and didn’t warm up first, I took it. Big mistake. I could still salvage what I hoped for the round if I go ... -3 for the last four?
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    The fact that it's the Dodgers and not some random team like the Marlins or something probably keeps the asterisk away.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    yea, I would imagine that is tough. That sucks Tim. I did not know you had broken your neck - scary. Yeah, I broke three bones in my neck body surfing back in 2018 The goalie on my first adult rookie hockey team had a similar body surfing injury end her season. She is in her 60s and is a total badass.

    That's another thing I didn't appreciate until I started playing: How much lie effects everything. Uphill, downhill, left slant, right slant, all make a big difference. And the course I play at has very uneven rough, so if you're in, you have to really look at how much grass is directly behind the ball.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    One thing I enjoy is how there's a little bit of a disconnect between your score and how you're playing. I had an approach shot last week where I didn't have enough club, thinned it, pulled it and sliced it. That covers all four directions so somehow it all balanced out and it ended up 8 feet from the hole. Today was just kind of medium all around. I got into a pretty good rhythm of tee shot, chip from close rough or fringe putt, two-putt for bogey, with just two hiccup doubles but no pars to balance them out, so +11 40, which is on the good side but not my best. I was mostly sticking my long putts to inside 3 feet, which is huge. The difference in my odds of making a 2.5 foot putt versus a 5-foot putt are way higher than I realized they would be when I started golfing.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm glad the Dodgers won after all the hot "Kershaw looked sad his team just lost a game in shocking fashion so obviously he's mentally beaten" takes.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    yeah yeah yeah. we get it. we know. go away man. Damn. I knew Sliders wasn't popular but I didn't think it would be that controversial to reference.
