re: I know it’s cliche, but our best athletes would dominate Soccer.

Yes exactly, I think Lebron, Michael Jordan, etc would look a little stiff on the soccer field. They’re unbelievably coordinated for the size they are but I’m not sure they would look that way on a premier league soccer field. They play a sport that rewards explosiveness and straight line strength as much or more than shiftiness and agility

This argument is correct but it’s being made incorrectly.
Could we dominate soccer if our culture was focussed on it? Probably
Would it be LeBron James doing it? Probably not
It would be some random guy who maxed out as a small D1 receiver or SG who is 6’1” - 6’3 190lbs of muscle, we wouldn’t do well with a bunch of 6’7 dudes out there who can’t cut and change direction the way the smaller guys can.
Think Antonio Brown type of athletes (but not him specifically :lol:)
Sure we could sprinkle in a few huge guys to muscle up in the box, but not many. Really we should get a 6’7” freak to play goalie. Hell part of me thinks we should pluck an NBA bench player now and spend the next 4 years training him to play goalie

Kids who get great at soccer in the country are affluent subburb/private school kids. Those kids don’t have the grit of the inner city euro guys
You blaming them for that goal?
Does Randy Moss count? He went to Marshall because FSU rescinded their offer due to a parole violation
Sucks for the Mexican guy who seemed legitimately injured at the end. He’s writhing in pain for 5 minutes getting immediate medical attention and losing at the same time :lol:
I haven’t read this whole thread, so I’m sorry if I’m giving advice it’s already been given. This is coming from the side of your kid because I’m a younger parent.
Come over and offer to help with stuff like babysit, bringing food, even just taking the grandkid to McDonald’s for an hour and giving the parents a break. Host dinners at your house, but make sure you planet a week or two ahead so it’s not surprising them, and don’t drop a guilt trip on them if they can’t come because of some unforeseen reason, life happens.
Biggest thing don’t keep score with the other grandparents, that is a bad situation for everyone and there’s nothing positive that will come from it.
Your kid and grandkid love you, none of it is personal. Remember when you were in that stage of life, your wife, and your kid are what matters and what you based your decisions on, everything else is secondary, including the feelings of the grandparents

re: Do you think a lot of amateurs actually hurt their game practicing on mats?

I've found the nicer mats are better for practice unless you're hitting on a really quality turf range and as someone said, unless it's a really nice spot the grass range usually sucks.
I dk I disagree. If the range has crappy grass then you get better at ball striking off of crappy grass which helps you on the course. If the range has nice quality mats you basically always make good contact. Great for the ego but not sure it’s great for your game

I know this is an extreme generalization but I personally hate practicing on mats because it makes me feel like I’m dialed when in reality my ball striking could be completely off. A mat basically eliminates the possibility of a chunk and also guarantees a perfect lie. For a large percentage of amateurs learning how to strike the ball properly is likely more important than swing mechanics, fat and thin shots kill a score faster than left and right well struck shots IMO.
Anyway, better players can benefit plenty from hitting off mats and working on swing mechanics and distance/trajectory control, but my theory is a lot of people learning the swing and practicing primarily on mats are actually making themselves worse at golf.

re: GoT: House of the Dragon Season 3 Official Thread [NO BOOK SPOILERS]
Posted by Tiger1242 on 7/2/26 at 10:03 pm to Flyingtiger82
Just watched the first episode, a lot of action and moving of the plot which you love to see.
Were all dragon riders as stupid as the ones in this show? Everytime there is a battle the dragon rider flies around like they are untouchable and every time they are touched…. I mean flying right into ships at low altitude just asking to get shot.
And then the stupid girl who thought it was a good idea to bring a wild dragon into a naval battle to “help”.
These people are idiots

Different sport, but I read this whole thing about how everyone in the NBA basically sleeps with the same 20 women. The reason being they are the 20 women willing to sign NDA’s and trusted not to talk to media or anybody else. And if any of them ever do give up secrets, they are blacklisted

Has anyone brought up 2008 Texas Tech vs. Texas?
#7 Tech got up 22-6
#1 Texas came all the way back and were up 33-32 with 8 seconds left
Then the Crabtree catch happened
ETA: I hope #12 for Texas lost his scholarship in the film room for this, dude just gave up on the play

re: Have y’all discussed the Neyland Entertainment District?
Posted by Tiger1242 on 6/29/26 at 11:04 am to grizzlylongcut
This thing looks atrocious.
I will say the tailgate scene around Neyland stadium is severely lacking compared to most other SEC schools based on the 2 times I’ve been there. Lots of sitting in parking lots and not much else to do. The real tailgating seems to take place on the river, I’ll have to do that next time.

I love your post and how that bullshite is being spewed. You really think the majority of pro golfers, over 50%, are serial cheaters?
I don’t think 50% of them are serial cheaters, Phil and Tigers level are extremes I’m sure. I do think a lot of professional athletes sleep around with or without their wives knowledge, maybe not as overtly and scummy as the way Tiger and Phil do it, but it still happens a lot.
These are high testosterone, type A, competitive guys who are on the road away from their wives for weeks or sometimes months at a time.
re: My 7yr old badly wants to watch the Odyssey
Posted by Tiger1242 on 6/28/26 at 11:44 am to BluegrassBelle
Yea I’ll probably go see it first and make a decision. I don’t think it’ll be too scary, he knows the stories and has watched some pretty scary myth videos and it hasn’t scared him. He’s pretty into it

My 7yr old badly wants to watch the Odyssey
Posted by Tiger1242 on 6/28/26 at 10:44 am
He listens to history podcasts all the time including a ton on Ancient Greece and mythology. He just finished listening to a kids version of the Odyssey, he watched the Percy Jackson movies and TV show.
He’s DYING to watch the Odyssey with me and I’m torn. On the one hand I want to encourage his interest and it’s something we can do together. On the other hand, it’s an R rated movie and obviously I’m not sure he’s mature enough to watch it.
I’m not that concerned about the violence and scary stuff, I’m more concerned about the sex stuff, especially if they have depictions of rape which there is a decent amount of in the actual Odyssey.
Anyone have any insight into how much sexual stuff will be in the movie? I mean they can’t show everything in the real story bc it would be a 10hr movie, I looked online but haven’t really found anything concrete on how much of that is in the movie.
TIA for the help :cheers:

Claims he just started playing golf in May and now shoots low 70’s and has an index of +1.2
I don’t have any way to confirm his story but also can’t prove he’s lying so I dk what to think

I’m not surprised at all that Phil is a scumbag and a degenerate. I mean, he was honestly viewed that way by most people until the wife cancer stuff redeemed his image.
That being said, I’m not gonna act appalled that a pro athlete travels around the world and cheats on his wife. Honestly, in those circles, the loyal ones are probably the outliers. I would assume most of those guys wives just learn to live with it or accept that it comes with the lifestyle they provide.
