As the road team……

That’s cool, we all make mistakes be they big or small. Not everyone owns up to it, so that’s a good thing.

Why am I thinking you might be their dealer? 🤔

But you could have a nicer kitchen!

I was talking about the statement from the attorney you quoted. That sounded fair and rational to me. I don’t know who the guy is who put out the tweet with the police report. That had a bit of a jab in it.

What specifically is mocking about that?

I think this is from Scottie’s attorney. “In the early hours of the morning in advance of his tee time Scottie was going to the course to begin his pre round preparation. Due to the combination of event traffic and a traffic fatality in the area it was a very chaotic situation He was proceeding as directed by another traffic officer and driving a marked player’s vehicle with credentials visible. In the confusion,Scottie is alleged to have disregarded a different officer’s traffic signals resulting in these charges. Multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed that he did not do anything wrong but was simply proceeding as directed. He stopped immediately upon being directed to and never at any point assaulted any officer with his vehicle. We will litigate this matter as needed and he will be completely exonerated. “ I heard one of the owners of Valhalla called the Mayor and then the police department and ended up personally driving Scottie back to the course. . Officer Bryan Gillis is having a day to remember!!! 😂

Rory got a police escort when he was running late for a tee time. Probably not by the same guy, I’m guessing. I lived for more than a decade on a PGA tournament course. The entire community gets into preparing for and enjoying the week. Every accommodation is made for the players, especially if it means not missing a tee time and getting DQ’ed. This sounds like it’s exactly the opposite of what might typically be expected, but somebody died and the police had a job to do. No idea if this was a redneck cop on a power trip, or if he was doing his job and Scottie effed up by being an entitled jerk. I won’t slam anyone with the info available now and just assume it’s what he said, an unfortunate misunderstanding.

I am strangely hopeful that he will be a steal. Lack of ideal height is offset by those freakishly long arms.

Scheffler just released a statement which, predictably, said all the right things. He said there was a misunderstanding as to what was expected of him. It concluded with thoughts to the family of the man who passed away after being struck by a shuttle bus. The mug shot and distraction will get all the attention, but somebody died here. Without seeing exactly what happened it’s hard to have a strong opinion, but it does sound like a simple case of miscommunication.

….and I couldn’t blame him.

Now you are hurting the public appeal. You could be hurting charities for all you know. I hope you can sleep tonight.

It can take longer than that from here. It’s Atlanta, after all. Seeing it and getting to it are very different. 😡 I’m around the Vinings, so not too bad if traffic doesn’t kill you.

It’s Okay to suck, but it sucks to be slow. ….to some degree.

I’m not arguing this because I don’t know the facts, but when my son was taking his driver classes and test in Florida he said you can change lanes on a left hand turn. NOT on a right hand turn, but on a left turn yes. I was mildly surprised, but he’s a smart young guy and he was sure that was the case at that time in Florida. I only mention it now because we in a small neighborhood at the bottom of that diagram with one small lane in and another going out. The cars coming south almost ALL turn right (like 90%+), it’s the major traffic pattern, especially busy during rush hour. I get a green light with left arrow pulling out, and they have right turn on red….but they just keep going and turn right like I’m not there, usually allowing me the one inside lane going left. The problem is, there are shops and restaurants in a small strip center in the top left corner I go to. THAT is what pisses me off when driving! I mean, other than just being in Atlanta in the first place….. …

You’ll find a terrible mess in the morning if you put the lid down. I’ll try not to make that mistake again! But I’ve said that before…… 🤷‍♂️

If you’re trying to attract more people, it’s working. I might show up just to see that! 😂

It’s safe…no Peter Pan there. Most throw backs are horrible. These are in that category, IMO.

I think this should be counted as a home game for the Jags, and an away game for the Bills. It only seems fair after that crap in London. 😡

I’ll travel to the game in Atlanta. I can see the stadium on my way to the grocery store. Yes, I’m willing to make that kind of sacrifice.

Of course. People who know me are not surprised. UPDATE: I still don’t have a functional cable arrangement in the house, but a new box just arrived and we’ll give that a shot. We might have to go back to Spectrum for TV. We got rid of Spectrum years ago because IT didn’t work. Watching Commander Tom using rabbit ears might be my Rosebud moment.

I had a friend who said he’d never watch another NFL game after the strike or lockout they had in the 80’s. I fully assumed he was blowing smoke in disgust, but he never watched another game. If it weren’t for the Bills…..idk. 🤷‍♂️

We are the Bills, so I’d say a bad hammy and a dislocated finger as we go into the playoffs.

Sit? You are supposed to stand up all game in front of the cranky old folks, because they are checked for weapons before they are allowed inside. The worst they can do is pour a beer on you, and my bet is they can’t afford that form of justice. I used to be a seat snob, but after sitting in the upper deck a few times I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. Let us hope the new place has the same quality views.
