re: Media Hype and MSY wait times

At least you found a seat. bigger issue than the TSA lines is that everyone is showing up so early for their flights and now there are no seats to sit on the concourse.

Unless you are a pro and know that the only place to hang out for extended periods of time is Concourse A. At normal airports you can hang out in club lounges but those are lacking at MSY. Think the only one they have is Delta but could be wrong.

no they don't. It is more of a Lafayette thing than a Shreveport thing in my experience.

re: LIV South Africa

It was a great event. They aren't all like that but that was fun to watch.

The LIV broadcast has some cool features. they are behind in some areas and they have some new things as well. These last 3 tournaments have all been a good watch. The team competition, when it is close, makes for a great broadcast as they can follow more people as more people's shots matter. SG was up 9 at one point midway through final round and didn't win. Heck of a comeback by Crushers.

It is not perfect and won't be replacing the PGA tour but it isn't meant to. It can stand on its own and be a great event.

Maybe there’s a difference between flying in the middle of the week and flying on a Sunday morning? Idk just a thought


there is. The difference is TSA agents know Sunday and Mondays are the heaviest traffic so they choose those days to call in sick. This allows for maximum pain to be felt by the consumers.

Hopefully this ends soon b/c it is not good.
Some good news for all the HIMS investors today.
it is March 1st, time to think about something else.

this is the best advice ever given to people thinking about joining a country club. It is never going to make financial sense. It is either a lifestyle you desire or it isn't.

other than a joke or two not landing over the course of a broadcast I don't think he is horrible. He has some insight that few have.

What is horrible is trying to watch the pga tour these days. Jacob Bridgeman doesn't move the needle, at least for me.
There is so much we don't know about the ocean it is scary.

I agree with this. It isn't b/c I don't like him, he is just one of those guys that as long as his kind is on the team, we are going to lose. hard to explain but he brings nothing to the table in a team format.

re: Masters merch?

t shirts and trinkets are my favorite thing to buy there. Bought a polo or two but wish I hadn't. Don't buy stuff with the year on it. Amazing gift shop. Plan ahead though. If you get in there with no plan you can panic buy and forget stuff.

she's as much Chinese as I am. Can't fathom consciously choosing to represent a communist country when you are living in and prospering off our democratic society. I'm sure there is much more to it than I realize though.


I think (and hope) you are wrong.

re: Bills fire McDermott

What a wild world we live in. McDermott gets fired and Zac Taylor keeps his job.

re: Harbaugh needs fired

Posted by cptigger on 1/8/26 at 11:27 am to
Not really Harbaugh’s fault. They hitched their wagon to Lamar and he’s never going to win anything of importance. He’s proven that time and time again.

getting it regularly on a MacBook while on OT. Getting so constant it makes me not want to come to the site.

same here. I can't find a way to watch it for free. Also have a hard time finding a live score.

When does next game start?

re: I owe an apology to the Mcmen

This is a story as old as time. Win a few meaningless non conf games and the fan base starts dreaming of the tourney. I’d love it if it happens but given the past three years I remain hesitant to believe they will compete against SEC teams.

this is a very thought provoking question. My first thought is Hayden Christensen as Anakin but only b/c I hated his acting performance that much.

there are others that are more deserving and I reserve the right to change my mind.

You are stupid if you truly think Will Wade killed our program.
