@GolfChannel can you fix the delay to the broadcast booth for the NCAAs? Having commentators react with “it should spin” when the ball has already not spun, but rather released forward is a difficult watch.
Hot Dog Race Feedback: @Orioles
1) Until the live race is a true race, just shut it down. Consult @Brewers for how it’s done.
2) In your animated race, unless the game is happening at 7 AM, the animated sun is in the wrong place. It sets behind 3rd base, not the warehouse.
We have reached a stage in our country where there are only two sides to every issue and every incident. Each side lives in protected echo chambers which are provided with a curated set of ‘facts’ and/or video footage from certain camera angles that are consistent with the preexisting views and conclusions of that side.
Individuals are ‘convicted’ of serious crimes in the headlines, by politicians appealing to their base, and ultimately in the minds of the public, or they are exonerated, before all of the facts are in and a detailed investigation has been completed.
This is not good for America. We need to go back to a world where we suspend judgment and await the conclusions of a detailed investigation before we convict or exonerate. Let’s not forget that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Rushing to judgment helps no one and harms us all. It also greatly elevates the temperature, which keeps potential targets of law enforcement and those who enforce our laws on edge, massively increasing the risk to all.
We need to take a deep breath and reserve judgment before this gets even more out of control.
Sony Open week highlights the gap.
Die-hard fans are still engaged, just worn down.
Casual fans are still interested — but only when the moment is obvious.
If pro golf wants both audiences, the calendar and hierarchy have to do more of the work.
The Sony Open in Hawaii tees off today at Waialae, opening the PGA TOUR season.
It’s a good moment to acknowledge a truth about pro golf right now:
the sport works very differently for hardcore fans than it does for everyone else.
That’s the real challenge for the PGA TOUR.
The talent is elite.
The golf is excellent.
But the structure asks fans to interpret before they can enjoy — and most people opt out of that homework.
I’d like an official statement from @BIGEAST on the buzzer-beater call in Georgetown–Creighton. I think they got it right, but it’s fair to ask why the red light at one end turns on before the other—and before the clock hits 0.0.
College football didn’t break this season.
It reached its biggest stage while changing its foundation at the same time.
NIL isn’t going away.
The question is whether the sport can rebuild stability — before fans decide caring is optional.
College football’s national championship week is here — even as the transfer portal is reshaping rosters across the sport in real time.
That overlap explains almost everything about where college sports are right now.
The discomfort fans feel right now isn’t about players making money. It’s about watching rosters reset while the sport is asking for its biggest emotional investment.
That’s a hard ask.
