The Angels outfield trio of Garrett Anderson, Darin Erstad, and Tim Salmon played together forever.

The Angels won a lot of games, including a WS, with that core. They haven’t won a single playoff game since they retired.

I’ve seen the first two seasons. Very good show, but I felt they almost lost the plot at times. However, that’s to be expected with a show that tries to achieve some originality and includes red herrings and plot twists.

LOLandry gave them a bunch of money. Nice ROI for the state !

Of the $7 million Louisiana is putting toward the event, $2 million will go toward upgrading the public Bayou Oaks course, and the remaining $5 million will go to LIV Golf as a hosting fee.
They’ve already invested $5 billion, and will cross the $6B mark by the end of this year.

Sooner or later they have to see a return on all that money. Contrary to popular belief, the Saudi royals do not have unlimited funds.

Dirk Nowitziki got in his head and he didn't even do anything.

Except go on a heater in that series, and he was unstoppable at times late in games. LeBron refused to guard him or even get near him to provide switch help. Various schemes of Wade, Bosh, Haslam and others were all used against Dirk, but LeBron stayed away.

Instead, LeBron was often guarding 6’2” Jason Terry, but still getting outplayed. Terry averaged more points than LeBron, shot 50% from the outside, and consistently hit big shots against him late in games.

Meanwhile, Shawn Marion shut down LeBron on the defensive end. Marion was nicknamed “The Matrix” for a reason. He was the ideal type of player to defend LeBron, but he also got in his head so bad that LeBron didn’t even try to challenge him as the series progressed.

That whole team did a good job of getting in LeBron’s head, especially late in games.

My first thought. Glad you took the time to post pictures of the old city. It’s in sharp contrast to the modern architecture along the coast.

Stanley Cup preview tonight?:

Dallas Stars v. Buffalo Sabres

Both are locked into their playoff seeding, so neither has anything on the line, but it is odd to end the regular season against a team from another conference.

Go to an indoor trampoline park if you want to see legitimate unsocialized behavior. It’s the closest thing to unleashing feral children upon a civilized society as we have today.

The sad thing is that I genuinely think most are just trying to have fun. They simply don’t know how to behave.

Maybe just as sad is that the employees and all of the other parents and adults don’t dare say anything to them. That’s a reflection on the failings of our modern culture.

1000% chance teams already knew this

There’s been rumors recently his draft stock was dropping, and it wasn’t because of concerns over his arm length or because teams have other edge rushers ranked a little higher.

Rumors of “Serious Character Concerns” have been floated a couple of places, but nothing specific.

Does it really constitute a meltdown when at the end of the round you're still in the final group?

Yes. He went from six shots up on the field to tied for the lead. His meltdown prevented a runaway victory and boring weekend.

Rory needs to make this interesting for me

I’m just thankful for his meltdown yesterday. At least that made the final two rounds interesting.

Standing leading into the weekend. Scottie nearly worked his way to the very top.

The Burns/Lowry pairing are turning semi-bad shots into disasters.
He was phenomenal in high school and a 5-star recruit.

His football career didn’t pan out like everyone expected, but he still managed to spend several years in the NFL. Then built a business from the ground up. He turned an idea in his head into generating millions in revenue.

Some might still call him a bust, but he’s lived one hell of a life full of accomplishments, and he’s only 35.

Kurt Kitayama was near the top of the leaderboard all day in Round 1. He even held the lead for a stretch, and finished his day in a tie for third.

He was looking good yesterday also. Then he made the turn, and proceeded to shoot a 43 on the back nine. He still made the cut.

He started today off with a couple of bogeys, and now is in dead last.

First 27 holes: -3
Next 12 holes: +9
