re: The 125th US Open

He's the best putter there is.
He's crazy good at putting, think he's currently top 5 overall on tour and has so much more game than anyone else on the top of that list.
I keep thinking he a major somewhere in his future because of his ability to take on the crazy greens that tournaments like the US Open throw at you.

. I called the BS about oakmont yesterday... didn't believe a word about par or worse winning
It's been wet in the 'Burgh lately. Course is likely going to play the easiest today in the morning. The afternoon groups will have a harder go at it as it dries out. If they avoid the thunderstorms tomorrow, tomorrow will be a tough test.
It looks like rain for the weekend, so the course will likely have less teeth on the fairways and greens, but the rough will be nearly unplayable.
If Oakmont get a dry week like it did in '07 the scores would be through the roof, as evidenced by +5 winning that week. But if any course, including Oakmont, gets softened up from rain, these guys are so good, they'll post seriously low scores.

Look for what ever has the highest concentration of Sulfosulfuron, if you're having issues with Sedge Grasses in Bermuda.
Sedgehammer has something like 1.4%, but you can find other options that has a higher percentage.
Mowing lower and more fertilization will definitely help as well.
Whatever you do, do not pull them!

If the Republicans and Democrats have one thing in common, it's the uncanny ability to step on their own dicks.

I did it once as a bucket list kind of thing and then did it a second time when my girlfriend, now wife (no pics) wanted to do it as a bucket list thing.
Funny thing, is that there is no real sensation of height, at least that you would expect while you are free-falling. All the things going on warp your perspective. The speed and wind remove that queasiness that you'd expect to have. Once the shoot goes up, that all changes.
I've head a lot of folks say that the toughest part for them is the moment where you step out of the plane. I kind of thought that was the coolest moment, because thats when you absolutely commit to it and when the sensation of falling is the strongest.

I've been flat out told I couldn't be hired because I was a white guy, twice.
I'm a manager in the corporate realm and I've had three openings that I've had to hire in the last 18 months. I was told by my manager to only focus on hiring racially diverse candidates and women. I found a great candidate for one of the roles who is a white man, and while they didn't say no to hiring him, I did have to write a long justification and go through three rounds of HR governance defending the hire. The other two candidates that I hired that were women required no justification and were sent an offer letter the same day a decision was made.
They aren't mandating that white men not be hired, they are just making it very, very onerous to hire them.

Pretty weak time for golf though.
Of course you had Phil.
Then who? Vijay? Ernie? Davis Love?
Somewhat quietly, Padraig Harrington was one of the best of that era. Picked up 3 majors in 2007-2008. David Duval was considered Tigers biggest challenger until injuries derailed his career and he lost his game trying to come back from them.
Still, Tiger was way better than anyone in the field. Golf is funny that there always seems to be one guy that is playing far above the field. How long they can maintain it is the question. Spieth and Keopka had runs where they looked better than anyone out there. What's amazing about Tiger and Jack is just how long they were able to maintain that high level of play.

"North Korean state media reports that Kim Jong-il, on his first-ever round of golf, shot a score of 38-under-par at Pyongyang Golf Club in 1994. This round supposedly included 11 holes-in-one."
They guy clearly missed his calling. Should have gone pro instead of being a dictator.

re: What is/are the most unique item(s) of sports memorabilia that you own?
Posted by RolltidePA on 6/9/25 at 11:07 am
I have a 1997 Florida State ACC championship ring.
They still made them out of gold back then, its metal value is probably more valuable than the memorabilia value.

That thing looks like it was built with old pallets and it's been around since I was in college 30 years ago. As someone else said, what's truly stunning is that it took this long to happen.

One of these sets of passing stats is from the NFL MVP and the other is Aaron Rodgers. Maybe he has some life left in him.

he's washed; Steelers would be better bottoming out for a top QB in next year's draft
For better or worse, the Steelers never tank. If he just posts the same stats from last year, it'll be the best QB season for the Steelers since 2018, before Ben's elbow injury.
As a Steeler fan, I'm pretty indifferent. They're in a bind and he'll be better than what they've had, but still won't have them competing for titles.

The Pirates had been a solid team for over 80 years and won 8 World Series titles before the Steelers ever showed any signs of life. They were the prominent sports team of the town. Post ‘93 things changed drastically with the terrible ownership that took over in ‘95.

Worst fans in baseball
Pittsburgh is an incredible baseball town. People don't realize that even with the Steelers winning Superbowls, the Pirates were still more popular until the late 90's when they went on the 21 year losing streak.
How much abuse do you expect the fans to take? The only way to hurt the ownership, is to stop showing up.
To be clear this isn't a fan support problem with the Pirates. It's an ownership problem.

This is the second time in 4 starts that he's gone 8 and given up one run, yet still took the L.
He's given up 4 runs in the last 5 starts, never giving up more than 1 run in any of the outings. His record... 1-2.
