Been my experience that those on the left are all for free thinking. So long as those thoughts coinside with theirs.

Best thing about Landshark is there's none in my refrigerator (or any beer that comes in a clear bottle, has the name of or is best with fruit in it.)

Cardiac arrest, which is what happened to Bronny (as well as Damar) is different than heart attack. Heart suddenly/unexpectedly stops beating, heart attack is caused by blocked arteries and such. Still a shame though.

Dad lived to a few days shy of 101, mom until a few weeks short of 102 (would have made it if she hadn't broken her hip, maybe even 103, she was in pretty good shape until then. Dad not so much. ) Anyways both died at the family home, which was pretty much a nursing home the last 6 years, complete with a hoyer lift, hospital bed, 7 aides and 5 nurses. No more than 2 at any time, usually 1. Often I was the one.

While legend has it that there are 18 shots in a bottle of whiskey, there is no truth to that. Originally, St. Andrews was 12 holes, 10 were usually played twice so a normal round was 22 holes. This was based on the lay of the landscape. In 1764 St Andrews combined the first 4 into 2 holes so there were now 10 holes, 8 of which were usually played twice. Other early 18th and 19th century courses were also built according to the landscape and were anywhere from 5 to 12 holes. As golf gained in popularity throughout the 19th century some uniformity was needed. St. Andrews began building double greens until it eventually became 18 separate holes rather than playing some holes twice. 1842 was the first time 18 holes was mentioned as the official round by the R&A. Gradually other courses followed suit, by the 1930's virtually all courses were some version of 18 holes, though it wasn't until 1950 when all governing bodies made 18 the official round. Short answer is everyone followed St. Andrews lead. Apologies if this was a rhetorical question.

This is the best way to get better, go back 60 years and take it up at a younger age. As for me, used to play softball 4-5 days a week and golf once or twice. When I hit 60 the softball had to go, golf 4-5 days a week now. With the exception of tournaments, I always walk. Belong to a private club that gets privileges at a public course( preferred tee times, tournaments, etc.) Also belong to a private club. Kind of an enigma, both a trunk slammin' muni-player and a country club snob.

I wouldn't get in that thing if you paid me a quarter of a million, had to be a total idiot to actually pay that much.

If/when the conversation gets around to politics, I usually say " so, how bout those Bills?" Most often people get the hint and change the subject.

Someone mentioned being a starter at a golf course. Both private clubs and the county courses are always looking for someone. Or outside mowing the course if you don't want to deal with anyone. If you work at Durand you might get the fringe benefit of having a beer with Steve O after your shift.

Seems I'm the only one to watch them in the TV lounge in college just to meet chicks...pathetic.

Which would have been a home game but for the "just give it to them" call.

That's the guy, sad. Coaching HS football last I heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90VdRPWtQz4 Play in question occurs at 2:28:55. You can also find Chris Berman's game recap on youtube which has a better angle of the feet but that one doesn't show the refs discussion following the play.

60's No "strike range" in football, hell, clothesline, wedges were legal, no 5 yard chuck rule, and Bills AFL champions back to back. Pitchers pitched every 4th day, no pitch count or bat angles, All Star game was a real game, players wanted the winner's portion. No 3-point line in basketball...at least until the ABA.

This is actually a remake of an old baseball joke. It seems that Timmy had recently moved from Chicago to St. Louis. The teacher asked the class who everyone's favorite baseball team was. Everyone but Timmy said the Cardinals. Timmy said the Chicago Cubs. The teacher explained to Timmy that he lived in St. Louis now and his favorite team should be the Cardinals. Timmy said he didn't care, his grandparents were Cubs fans, his parents, aunts and uncles were all Cubs fans, and he will always be a Cubs fan. Clearly frustrated, the teacher said suppose your mother was a hooker and your father was a pimp? Timmy said they would be White Sox fans.

I was worried things would get even worse at the border with title 42 ending. But now that I know the president and vice president have been closely consulting on this I'm feeling better about the whole situation. What's that that Irv says...oh yeah, what a mess.

Almost happy that I have more yesterdays than tomorrows.

My county is a test site for the latest NY state give away. New York is already the 3rd most...not sure what the word is....welfare friendly state behind only Vermont and Rhode Island. But apparently that isn't enough. Monroe county will be a test site for the next phase. Because apparently we're not giving away enough to those without jobs. So, in addition to the welfare checks and any other aid, 50 families will be receiving an additional $600 per month for a year. But not just any random welfare recipients. In order to be eligible to receive the extra $600, the recipient must have been the target of a DPS investigation for poor care of their child(ren.) Somehow the family will be tracked for a year to see if the kids are better fed etc. a year from now than before. Might want to track drug and liquor sales in the area of the recipients while they're at it.

In the video below his drummer Barry Keane tells the story of the tape used for the release of The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. They were in studio doing a recording session and Gordon was talking about how he was almost finished with a song he had been working on about the wreck. One of the crew said why don't we give it a try now. Gordon agreed. Barry asked when he should come in, Gordon said he'd nod his head. Fortunately, they recorded the take as it was used for the release. Tried several times to improve on it but the first practice session tape was used for the release. Watched it last nite, thanks for the tip!

One of my all-time favorites. Saw him a few years ago in Geneva, he was 79 at the time, He said that people learning to play guitar love his music because if they can learn 5 notes they can play every song he's ever written! Later that summer I was in Cape Cod and he was playing in a high school gymnasium. Guy just loved to entertain. Sad day, RIP.

The entire Bills draft that year started 31 games for the Bills and 47 games for other teams (Tillman and Morris accounted for all but 12 of those starts.) I was severely ridiculed for my mock draft with him our first pick.

Or better yet, not having your playing partner's caddie be familiar with the rules. Do a search on Gavin Hall disqualified. A guy in his group's caddie sought out a rules official after the round, shortly after Gavin was DQ'd.Tried posting a link but this is what I get Excruciating DQ hour after round ends pro's Q-School run (golf.com) At this point Young is still playing so either I missed something or no one noticed the violation.

His second shot on 13 went a little wild so he hit what he thought was a provisional. He then found his second shot in a penalty area and took relief under the 2 club length from point of entry option and finished out the hole from there. Problem is one of the relief options from a penalty area is to play from your original position. So his relief had already been taken and he no longer had the other (point of entry) options. Pretty sure you'll see him get DQ'd. Similar thing happened to a local kid, Gavin Hall, in the Korn Ferry tour qualifier last year. Only difference was, after playing what he thought was a provisional, he found his original in a penalty area and played it where it layed, in the penalty area. He made par and signed for a 66, then found out he got DQ'd as he had already taken relief and no longer had the option of playing the original.

Saying 2003 is when the Iraq war began is like saying 1941 is when the world war began.
