Eh... the number of fellow players who were watching, waiting for him to congratulate him as he came off 18 indicates he’s probably changed quite a bit behind the scenes. They weren’t doing that for Tiger before. They weren’t doing that for Patrick Reed last year. 

Spoken like someone who’s never had back problems, let alone as bad as Tiger’s were. I can actually understand the painkiller addiction too - I couldn’t work while using them so I just ate the pain before eventually having surgery when the back problems started pressing on the nerves to my legs and causing weakness…

I’ve always appreciated that you’ll usually see NBA refs, when looking at a replay where a guy loses the ball out of bounds because he was hacked (so the offensive player touched it last because the defensive guy didn’t even touch the ball) will just leave the ball with the offense. College refs explicitly are not…

Argument for the Bulls: point guard Zion Williamson. 

It’s crazy that he didn’t have his caddy “adjusting” his positioning for him (when a dude is on a cart you always forecaddy, super easy to make some, uh, “fixes”) but then you remember that Trump probably didn’t tip for shit for his caddies so why bother with the effort

so you put them in the fridge for like 30 minutes beforehand, and you don’t end up with weird mushy screwed-up-tasting refrigerator onion

I’ve found the Chicago chapter to be pretty nice. People just want to have celebratory Malort. 

I do wonder if Izzo’s top-blowing keeps him from getting as many top recruits as he used to. I don’t think anyone expects coaches to never yell something at a player, but going off like Izzo did to the point his junior point guard felt the need to get between Izzo and the player is not something you see Coach K or…

Yelling WOOOOOOOO! in the coach’s face I assume

Netflix apparently doesn’t want to pay for the good movies for streaming. You have to subscribe to the DVD service to get most of those.

Yet somehow even after VAR, the pole was not issued a red card

in his case i’d say the Ballsrog

There’s variance, and in the past there have been things that PECOTA was bad at seeing, but PECOTA is a mean projection. It usually doesn’t project teams a lot higher than 90 wins for that reason - you have to be really, really good for your middling projection to be something like 95. Sometimes a bunch of guys hit…

Sure, it’s possible that some NBA GMs would rate him lower for “quitting” on his team, but that would just mark them as incredible morons.

The stadium is like a mile and a half inland from the bay. So you can’t even do that. You can do it in Pittsburgh, but not Tampa. 

The White Sox might be the only team to redo their unis in the 90s and do better. Had been some combo of blue, red and/or white save a few years in the 50s, went to the black, silver and white with 1990 alts and became the fulltime ones in 1991.

When Turner Gill stepped down, everyone joked that Liberty, having hired McCaw and given Falwell’s loud Trump support, would hire either Briles or Hugh Freeze and then Liberty proved once again that you can’t even parody these yutzes and actually hired Hugh Freeze.

The entire point of using Velveeta and Rotel is that you don’t need anything else but the Velveeta and a can of the hot Rotel!

Sure but usually if you live in an area with Mexicans it’s not exactly a project to find both kinds of chorizo and get the Mexican kind for a Mexican recipe.

It’s unusual, but he’s already tried the “Mystery Team” gambit and it didn’t seem to do anything. My first instinct was this was an extension on that - trying to get some additional bidders, hoping that once another team or two get involved at a lower price, they’ll stay in the bidding as it goes up or at least force…
