@IHCCGreenkeeper what did you record at IH?

[Chris Bailey @Kentuckyweather]

The day is far from over, but this is already the 27th wettest day ever recorded in the city of Lexington.

Record keeping dates back to the 1870s which amounts to approximately 55-thousand days. #kywx

Could federal government be examining what might be most obvious to subsidize for munitions/wartime switchover in U.S. manufacturing?

@Chief_Twts @Cam_Jourdan @golfweek In 5-15 years, someone will come in and say, we are obviously going to have this tournament in August because that's where it belongs and everyone will nod in agreement. Glory's Last Chance, hang your hat on it because this tournament has the least identity of the majors.

Rubio’s latest role as Press Secretary was phenomenal today. He knocked question after question from a frenzied press corps out of the park.

He gave a perfect answer when he was asked, “What is your hope for America at a time such as this?”

Rubio responded:

“My hope for America is what it’s always been… We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. Where you’re not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity - but frankly it’s a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential…

Our history is not one of perfection, but it’s still better than anybody else’s history. Ours is a story of perpetual improvement. Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer…

As we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history. It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.”

I know that was spoken like a true politician, but it was damn good 🇺🇸

@LynnBowden_1 Louisville game was an all-timer.

@KylePorterNS One of the biggest golf what-ifs of the LIV chapter coming to a close will be what-if Phil could have been Ryder Cup Captain. He would have killed. That ship has passed, I get it...but man.

@jkylemann the enigma with pope is growing...the whiplash roster construction from year one to year two isn't just about injuries. The fact that he couldn't get chandler to stay tells me everything.

@alancornett Do you have any insight on restaurants in Eky and even more so in West Va being called specifically “snack bar”? It’s somewhat prevalent and kind of a peculiarity I have noticed over the years.

The US and Japan have the most underrated mutual obsession on the planet.

Japan worships American BBQ culture. Texas-style brisket restaurants in Tokyo have 3-hour waits. American Barbeque, a chain in Osaka, charges $80 a plate and sells out nightly. Japan's wagyu beef revolution was literally built by importing American cattle genetics in the 1800s.

Americans worship Japanese food culture in the exact same way. Omakase spots in NYC and LA run $300-500 a head with 6-week waitlists. Ramen went from a $7 lunch to a $22 "experience." Every serious American pitmaster now studies yakitori technique.

This tells you everything about why the US-Japan alliance is the most durable in geopolitics. Trade agreements and military bases hold countries together on paper. Genuine cultural admiration, where both sides look at the other's food and think "I want to be part of that," is what makes it stick.

A Japanese creator looking at a photo of guys grilling steaks in a backyard and saying "someday I'd like to join" is the most honest expression of soft power that exists. No government program produced that. A grill and 40 pounds of meat did.

From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke.

But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? https://t.co/Z2jcL2ANjA

Full Kentucky sequence.

Just stadium sound.

Chills ‼️ @MarchMadnessMBB

@mnolangray Love this idea, I wonder if there isn't some sort of river connection where you could automate traffic somehow? Kentucky River, Ohio River, Big Sandy...something that eased movement between locations but didn't require building roads??

[Casey Smith @CaseyRounds3rd]

@Mike_kim714 @LenHochberg Spieth is the golf love child of Phil Mickelson and Freddy Couples...is that accurate? Aggressiveness, short game and shot making?

[Casey Smith @CaseyRounds3rd]

@GregNJ Exactly, picking a breadwinner moment to revisit and rewrite the story is lazy and stupid.

[Casey Smith @CaseyRounds3rd]

@KyleTuckerCBB Kentucky is dangerous in the final minutes down double-digits...lol

@NotSureYetu9k2 @KySportsRadio @SethDavisHoops @CardChronicle CATS fan here, atta boy Mike Rutherford!

[Casey Smith @CaseyRounds3rd]

@drewharkins @nealjclark1 I disagree but can understand your sentiment. I would recommend trying out Mexican Home, All the Best, Sweet Revenge. Also, there are some songs of his I do ignore…like Sam Stone, because they are very depressing and contrarian but he was a brilliant songwriter and I’m from Ky.
