@therealmcnair How do the wool hoodies and vests fit?

@AndyTFE I like this, hadn't thought of Chambers due to weather/time of year but would be a great addition. Maybe Atlanta Athletic after the reno too. Lots of options aside from tour venues and recasts.

GAME-ENDING TRIPLE PLAY TO CLINCH POSTSEASON BERTH

[Travis Fulton @travisfulton]

Ohtani $700 million for 10 years
Rahm rumored $600 million 3 years

MLB is roughly 4 times as big as PGA Tour.

Golf is upside down now.

[Andy Johnson @AndyTFE]

Pro golf is eating itself.

The continuing divide of a niche sport is only going to harm the long term outlook and value of it.

[Rory McIlroy @McIlroyRory]

I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back. It will make no difference whatsoever to the average golfer and puts golf back on a path of sustainability. It will also help bring back certain skills in the pro game that have been eradicated over the past 2 decades.

The people who are upset about this decision shouldn’t be mad at the governing bodies, they should be mad at elite pros and club/ball manufacturers because they didn’t want bifurcation. The governing bodies presented us with that option earlier this year. Elite pros and ball manufacturers think bifurcation would negatively affect their bottom lines, when in reality, the game is already bifurcated. You think we play the same stuff you do? They put pressure on the governing bodies to roll it back to a lesser degree for everyone. Bifurcation was the logical answer for everyone, but yet again in this game, money talks.

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

Would be the greatest driver in the world with persimmon by an even larger margin.

Also loses 61 yards of carry with the persimmon.

Important to note, that club/ball isn't optimized but likely a 40+ yard difference.

Roll back everything.

The photo on the right is Tiger’s tee shot during yesterday's practice round, a full 3 days before the tournament even begins.

Insane 🤯

Most pro golfers: "Only those who are accomplished in the game should be making decisions about equipment at this level!"

Tiger, Rory, Jack: "Roll the ball back."

I made my own equipment not because I don't need equipment but I don't know where I can get. And equipment is very expressive for me and I never miss my training with excuses of not having a glove or other equipment when I have Brain. I WANT TO PLAY BASEBALL ⚾

Other news: Apparently MTG and Lauren Boebert are now in some sort of grudge match and I think I speak for all Americans when I say I don’t know why and I definitely do not care.
