    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    I'm that way about "the quarterback position" or "the wide receiver room" these days.

    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    The place is five times more beautiful in person. Truly. And TV can't really capture how hilly it is. My fiancee and I are going Sunday, more to experience the course and setting than to watch the golf.

    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    Everyone can wear an upside down cap for their favorite team: Search: 37 results found for "upside down". Why anyone would want to is beyond me, but these are very popular apparently.

    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    Sergio did give a friend of mine's kid a ball as he walked off a green today. fork him for taking the blood money, but it made the kid's day.

    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    My 80-year-old dad was just saying how good it was. To its credit, the Masters' has been at the forefront when it comes to streaming and using the internet to give fans more access for many, many years. Not really what you'd expect from a stodgy-seeming outfit.

    A lemonade stand in the news desert

    I don't know what the best work in my 25-plus years in this business is, but I know the most rewarding was early on when I was a one-man sports department at a twice-weekly on the North Carolina coast. The locals read every word. I also had to help out with obits from time to time. I work half...

    Fore, please: 2025 Masters thread

    We've gotten an incredible amount of rain in Georgia over the past 24 hours, with more to come throughout the day. The course may still be a little soggy come Thursday, though I'm sure no place has better drainage than Augusta.

    A break from the beat

    This doesn't seem like a good time to give any paper any reason to cut your position. But I admire his willingness to do this and the paper's willingness to let him do it. If I was him, I'd try to write something every week or two about the experience of coaching legion ball after years of...

    Running 2025 golf thread

    Other than international soccer and cycling, I haven't watched sports with the sound on in more than 15 years. It started with having to mute shrieking tennis players like Sharapova and eventually just became my standard way of watching nearly all sports. And it's muting the commercials as much...

    There used to be one at the Fripp Island (SC) course that looked like that. Went viral about 15 years ago. heck, maybe it's the same one, it just moved along the coast.

    2024-25 NBA running thread

    An owner not interested in a rebuild after this spectacular cork-up is destined to get played by much smarter franchises for years to come. I look forward to watching it.

    Anybody using otter.ai?

    This has pretty much been my experience, too. It definitely helps me with interviews lasting more than 20 minutes, and I do a lot of those. Any parts that are clearly a bit off or read different from what I remember, I'll go back and listen. I've come around from my initial reaction to it.

    Crean's time at Georgia was so awful that he may need to take a local parks and rec coaching job if he wants another shot.

    Amazing Athleticism Today by Older Ones

    LeBron will hit or get close to 60,000 career NBA minutes by the end of the season. No active player is within 13,000 minutes of his total, while he's still one of the 10 or so best players. Incredible.

    All the things that a fairly liberal guy in 2025 would loathe. That's more about Augusta National than the tournament, I suppose, though it's hard to separate the two.

    2024-25 College Basketball Thread

    It does seem that Hurley knows he's an asshole and has worked on himself to be somewhat less so (or maybe that's just what he tells reporters doing stories on him). So many coaches in so many sports don't seem to have the self-awareness to know that they're giant dicks who are liked or tolerated...

    There is a lot I loathe about the Masters, but its policy banning phones (assuming it's still in place) is one thing I like about the place.

    2024-25 College Basketball Thread

    Georgia lost 13 games this season, all to teams that were seeded 10th or better in the tournament, including three games to 1 seeds, two to 2 seeds and one to a 4. The Bulldogs also had wins over a 1 seed, a 2 seed and a 3 seed. That doesn't change the fact that they laid a big egg against...

    RIP George Foreman

    If you've never watched When We Were Kings, try to find it streaming somewhere.

    2024-25 College Basketball Thread

    I saw where Gonzaga has more tourney wins than anyone since 2017, which is both not surprising and pretty incredible.
