    How’d he get a drop from that?

    Exactly. And at Phoenix, how does Rickie drop a ball and have it “be in play” only to roll into water and take a stroke for it.

  • The rules of golf are so incredibly dumb and inconsistent.

  • This is a non story. Kuchars  regular caddie, who has a contract, couldn’t make the tournament. Kuchar and this guy agreed to $3k, regardless of his finishing position. When he won, Kuchar offered him $15k, and the guy turned it down. So, Kuchar gave him $3k, the agreed upon, and a $2k tip, totaling $5k. I seriously don’t get why this is a story.

    I really enjoyed the Grand Canyon and Vegas. Brunch at Wicked Spoon and dinner at Craftsteak were excellent. Backstreet Boys were phenomenal. 

    Next up, Charleston in 3 weeks. 

    I love Vegas. Was there for Super Bowl and did Momofuku and Eggslut. Both are in Cosmo, and we stayed across from there. Momofuku and Majordomo (LA) are the two best meals I’ve had in a long time. Both David Chang restaurants.

    Trying to strongarm my way back to Vegas in Mid-March for the MW Conference Tournament. It’s either there or DC for A-10.

  • Green Book: 8/10

    Ali and Mortensen might sweep. Though I think I liked Bale slightly better than Viggo this year and haven’t seen Defoe. Malek was also really good, but would be 3rd for me.

    I watched Lion again. Good flick, 8/10. Kinda wild how he actually remembered enough to find his mom. 

    One of my favorite movies of the decade. I was adopted, so that adds a little bit extra for me. But regardless it’s very well done.

    I also agree but disagree with the "of course we had a chance a winning a title." Unless Steph, Durant & Klay all died before the opening game of the Finals, they had NO chance with that craptastic lineup the Cavs trotted out in the Finals. Nice to get there but I think everyone on the planet knew the Warriors were winning again.

    They will likely sneak in but wouldn't shock me if the Lakers didn't even make the playoffs.

    They had a legit chance. Warriors weren’t even the betting favorite at one point during their series with Houston. And LeBron wouldn’t have lost to Houston, imo.

    What do we forget happens every year??

    That LeBrons teams always suck for very long stretches of the year. Then he goes playoff mode and destroys the league. Lakers aren’t in the East, so they won’t be winning a title, likely. But this group of Lakers is better than the Cavs last year, they can win a round, maybe 2 depending on what matchup they get.

    I disagree with every single sentence of this post. 

    Lebron gonna roll through the west with Rondo and Ingram? No. 

    And of course we had a chance at winning a title. But we didn’t. That’s why I said in hindsight. I’d much rather have Kyrie and another young star on the team right now then what we currently have. And in both situations we haven’t won a championship since ‘16. 

    Roll through the west? No. But they will be fine. Probably around the 6 seed. Wouldn’t be surprised if they won a series. You said they quit and insinuated (along with those who agreed) that their season was basically done. I disagree with that, and said they will be fine — to the standard of what they were all season — a playoff team who might win a round. 

    And I strongly disagree with the hindsight trade as well. I’d much rather have LeBrons success last year and a shot at a couple year turnaround if they hit on the top 3 picks, versus a team losing in round 1 or 2. Then repeating it again this year then Kyrie leaving and being the Atlanta Hawks with whatever return you got for LeBron.

  • Lakers will be fine. Jesus Christ, it’s like you all forget this happens every year...even though every year you say you won’t be fooled by it. 

    And trading LeBron...lol. Come on, just stop. Cavs had a legit chance at a title, but they should’ve traded him. Just stop.

  • Love the 3 batter minimum, but managers should get 1 exception starting in the 7th inning.

  • Davis won’t be in LA until 2021 if they don’t get him now (or never, potentially). They basically have to do whatever they can, and New Orleans knows it. 

    I suppose if Kyrie leaves Celtics might be less inclined to give up Tatum (who, btw isn’t much better than Ingram and is only 6 months younger). Which would lead to a potential LA trade this year. But it’s just risky. Boston (Sacramento) doesn’t have great picks, but they will surely be better than Lakers.

  • Update on what we talked about earlier, now that the season is officially over.

    • From Darren Heitner:

    NFL can now exercise an option to exit from NFL Sunday Ticket deal with DirecTV. I’m predicting Amazon is in the driver’s seat. Bezos was very present around #SBLIII⁠ ⁠Attachment.png. Would be major disruptor move by @PrimeVideo.

  • No. Go get him. They waited on PG, Kawhi etc. Just go get him.

    Browns tied for 8th at 20:1 to win the Super Bowl next year.

    Caesars had them tied with LAC at 16/1 yesterday. Ridiculous.

    Rogue One.  8/8.  Last ten minutes are the best of the whole Star Wars franchise.


    Episode 9 this year could be epic as well.

    Coupled with the start of A New Hope it’s even better.
