Whatever the future of the PGA Tour schedule looks like we need to get full fields back for the "top" events. Rolling out the same 70-man field 3/4 weeks is not a good formula.
It's 4:45 on Friday of the Arnold Palmer and we have 15 players on the course and a fake cut sweat.
When your flight lands at the Atlanta airport and they say “welcome to Atlanta” over the intercom, feels like a real missed opportunity to not follow that up with “where the players play.”
This strikeout:
-Clinched a #Postseason berth for the Brewers
-Brought the @Rangers within 1.5 games of the final AL Wild Card spot
-Induced a tie for the final NL Wild Card spot between the Mets and Giants #SeptemberBaseball
I've been reading a lot about how China got so good at making all of the things the modern world depends on and the story is basically:
America/Japan/sometimes UK spend years researching and developing something.
America wanted China to make a bunch of that thing, or access to the Chinese market, and China said "Fine, but you need to teach us exactly how to make that thing" and America said, "OK, sure, as long as we get the immediate benefit we'll figure the rest out later."
Now America regrets doing that.
Anyway, it's funny how happy we all are to teach LLMs how to do every little thing we do, without even promising us access to billions of new customers.

#SFGiants Barry Bonds hit a Major League record 762 home runs.
If all of his home runs were converted to strikeouts, he would still boast a higher on-base percentage and a lower strikeout rate than #Dodgers Shohei Ohtani.
🚨 Top 10 Highway Robberies of All Time! 🚨
(A thread ���)
10️⃣ The Flying Highwayman (18th Century) – English rogue William Page evaded capture for years, using disguises to rob travelers along England’s roads. His ability to vanish made him a legend of the criminal underworld.
9️⃣ The Doan Gang (1770s) – A group of outlaw brothers who stole from American revolutionaries, looting gold and silver worth thousands before fleeing to Canada, securing their legacy as Tory loyalist bandits.
8️⃣ Claude Duval (1670s) – The smooth-talking French highwayman known for robbing English nobles with charm. Once, he let a victim go after a dance with his wife, making him one of the classiest thieves in history.
7️⃣ Black Bart (1870s) – The poetic bandit who robbed 28 Wells Fargo stagecoaches across California. He never fired a shot, but he left behind taunting poems—stealing an estimated $50,000 ($1.3M today).
6️⃣ Dick Turpin (1730s) – Infamous English highwayman known for robbing stagecoaches and his (probably fake) legendary ride from London to York. His crime spree ended with his hanging, but the myth lives on.
5️⃣ The Newton Boys (1920s) – America’s most successful train & bank robbers, stealing over $5 million ($80M today) from banks and armored cars across the U.S. and Canada. Unlike most criminals, they avoided killing anyone.
4️⃣ The Northfield Raid (1876) – Jesse James & the gang attempted to rob the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota, but faced armed townsfolk instead. Most of the gang was shot or captured, making this heist one of history’s biggest failures.
3️⃣ The Great Train Robbery (1963) – A group of thieves stole £2.6M ($80M today) from a Royal Mail train in England. Their plan? Trick the driver with a fake railway signal, then load up the cash and vanish. Most were later caught, but the loot was never fully recovered.
2️⃣ The Dalton Gang’s Last Job (1892) – The Daltons tried to rob two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas, at the same time—expecting an easy payday. Instead, townspeople armed themselves and gunned them down. Only one survived, proving not every robbery is a success.
1️⃣ COMING UP… The greatest highway robbery of all time. One so brazen, it puts all these to shame…

@NBATopShot KD RIB is my ultimate grail moment. As a UT alum (‘03-‘07) who overlapped with KD and a Warriors fan, that’s the one I’ve always had my eye on.
