@Shtfromabutt@nypost@nyknicks@spurs ...and you think that weak "win because your opponent doesn't have their star" argument helps your case. That's about the weakest non-competitive take ever & further evidence Knicks fans are soft like baby doodoo. Your team is going down, brutha - get ready to deal with it.
@RunItBackFDTV It was Brunson's shoulder that got mushed, not his head
What Brunson did with his own head tho is what he always does - throw around the braids in an exaggerated manner hoping the refs will be fooled by "thrash" and whistle a foul. He & Knick fans need to man up & play ball! 🐡
@TommyBeer If @nyknicks & their hooligan fans really think a 1st quarter shove of Brunson by Wemby is why this series is 2-1, then @spurs & their classy fans can start planning for the Championship Parade now cuz this thing is a wrap!! #GoSpurs

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil was interviewed on CNBC by Scott Wapner earlier. He said he’s had 5 formal meetings, under NDA, with investors, and 18 more this week, with a “positive” response. He also put an emphasis on the short timeline and said they may break up the $300 million investment into smaller $50 million chunks, where they’ve had an expression of interest.
He was then asked about speculation the PIF may pull the funding before the end of the season, and Scott O’Neil said:
“Well, I can say they've been terrific partners so far. And you have to take an incredible organization like PIF at their word. And they've been very public about funding us through the season.”
When Scott Wapner followed up asking directly if he can guarantee the 2026 schedule will be completed, he said:
“What I can guarantee is a heck of a return if you come invest in this business.”
LIV Golf has burned cash every quarter since its launch. He was asked how he can convince investors they’re not throwing “good money after bad”:
“You know, I think it starts with the billions and billions of dollars that have been built to create the foundation of this program, to build a brand this strong, to assemble this kind of star power, and to be a truly global league. I mean, this is a sports league that plays the most important sport in the world on five continents. There just aren't that many opportunities like that. Now, the question is, will the business be different than it was over the last five years? I can say dramatically — this will be a very disciplined approach.
“We are cutting the expense side dramatically and the revenue momentum that we've had — you know, my first year in '25, we've doubled revenue. We're already up $100 million over last year in '26. So we have really good business momentum. This is about getting the costs under control, re-imagining what the business could, should, and will look like, and then engaging our players as partners — like true equity partners in this business.”
Scott then went into detail about how committed Bryson DeChambeau is and how he has actually been part of creating the business plan. (I have this confirmed by Bryson). And then spoke about Jon Rahm and said they go back and forth via text message quite a few times:
“I know it's hard for others in the golf industry to understand, but this is a group that is committed to their teams. They're committed to the league and they're committed to this program. Re-imagining team golf, truly growing the game around the world and making an impact. It's a younger audience. It's a much more diverse audience, and we take things that are tried and true in every other sport — music, fashion, art, food — and we merge that with golf to create what I think is the best experience in sports.”
Finally, he was asked what would happen to the big money contracts if the league were to fold:
“Well, I think we'd all be in the same boat at that point. And that's why we're so locked in — 100% focused on getting it to a transaction. And yes, we understand there's a time constraint, but what a special time in the world to be able to get into the world's most important sport, a global sport, and to come in at a ground level at a great price with an incredible return ahead. So that's where we're locked in, and that's our focus.”
I have intentionally not added much editorialising to allow the reader to make up their own mind.
I will say this though, the next 7 weeks are the most important in the history of LIV Golf and they will likely decide the fate of the league.

@LegionHoops If @nyknicks & their hooligan fans really think a 1st quarter shove of Brunson by Wemby is why the series is now 2-1, then @spurs & their classy fans can start planning the Championship Parade now cuz that would signal Knicks are mentally broken & this thing is a wrap!! #GoSpurs
@WhatsWrightShow@colincowherd@getnickwright@TheVolumeSports@boostmobile Stop crying! Wemby's shove was to Brunson's shoulder & to stop Brunson from impeding Wemby's movement by holding a fistful of Wemby's jersey. In classic Brunson fashion, he tries to get a whistle by trying to exaggerate the effect. Man up & play ball, you flopping fish 🐡
