@NFLNotify Here's the thing about the Bears ... they won only 5 games, but could easily (perhaps should), with better coaching, have won 8 or 9. There's more talent there than their record shows. I don't think it's ridiculous to talk about 10-12 wins in 2025. Stranger things have happened!

@QuinHillyer @TrevDon Same, almost. We had an outside clothesline when I was very small. I barely remember it.

@zerofan @TodayinHistory It wasn't a typical race. By the Belmont, only Sham had a any chance at all to even challenge Secretariat. Most others dropped out. Happens sometimes these days, too, over the course of the Triple Crown races.

@ryanquinn142002 @lexdeblanca Is that Sheldon's dad?

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@GolfMonthly Basically that's just a very "open" stance. The penalty would come if you straddle the line, a la Sam Snead.

@LangmanVince I think for me it was the concept that made it scary. The idea of being trapped in that world and not being able to get home was terrifying to me. And yes, the sleestacks were super-creepy.

@kclairerogers @GOLF_com Tell us now! 😀

@PGATOUR I think "up and down" means the first shot gets on the green. I would call this "down in two" from where he was.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@golfsohard @michaelFhurley No. And the men's US Open doesn't do it that way anymore. Both tournaments do a two-hole aggregate playoff, followed by sudden death if still tied.

@FonzGuy @RedlegsRobJ @GolfChannel I was surprised too, actually.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@FonzGuy @RedlegsRobJ @GolfChannel

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@RedlegsRobJ @GolfChannel Yeah, I wasn’t sure either. The Golf Channel post implied that, but didn’t make it clear.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@wischlist @Bill_Bychowski And for what it’s worth, I’m not convinced this is over yet. There’s a lot of wiggle room in the statement they put out.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@wischlist @Bill_Bychowski Honest question though: nobody, that I’m aware, is saying the Bears will move their offices/headquarters to Indiana. People say they’re “moving to Indiana.” But that’s not really true if their HQ stays put. Right?

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@AdamSchefter Nobody has said anything about the Bears moving their offices/headquarters, practice facilities. If that’s all still based I. Chicago they’re still the Chicago Bears.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@rkylesmith @EsotericCD I think I was 11 or 12.

@Zepp1978 Best lead singer and best front man are different things.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@privategolfacs Nah. Cap and goggles would be easy to misplace. Or think they’re in your bag when they’re not. My son was a swimmer. Very absent-minded back then. He never did that, but it’s easy to imagine!

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@TheVastWing @byBDavis Shawn Bradley comes to mind. 7-6 but got k picked around d too easily. Just couldn’t seem to bulk up.

[Mike Zimmerman @ScratchInMirror]

@ShehanJeyarajah @byBDavis Remains to be seen how big he can get. I remember one reason Shawn Bradley (7’6”?) flamed out was cause he couldn’t gain weight. He got knocked around like a feather.
