He'll never play like the old Tiger, but he seems to be at peace with that, which is good to see. Just enjoy the moment and draw pleasure from being in contention again...

TO was unfortunate to play at the end of the "My Way or the Highway" coaching era. IMO, if he was in his prime today, no one would be talking about what kind of teammate he is...

Gulp...

Funny. That same principal applies to TSW when the 'ignore user' function is employed...

Mrs. Poyer might be jealous if they came to Buffalo...

Yep, done deal... https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/patriots/2018/08/01/patriots-cut-jordan-matthews-add-fullback-henry-poggi/7LQlIy7IQbX45i74UNmIMK/story.html AND signing Henry Poggi!! SuperBowl!!!

Yeah, he said as much in the comments section of The Athletic story. What a dip$hi*... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean K. Great investigative work, Mr. Graham! Tim Graham @Sean K. Not exactly Watergate, but I do get a charge out of scoops like this.

People in sales, marketing and brand management? Or the ones who sew hats? There's a world of difference between the NYC/LA-types brought in the past few years ("the cool kids") and the Derby folks who've been with the company a long time...

Yep. It's no monastery...

...White House, baby!

Does that work at your company much? LOL... Chris Koch and Russ have been close friends for 25 years. Trust isn't an issue, but optics might be...

The only people that matter at New Era are the Kochs, so that's unlikely. Although maybe Chris didn't ask Lindsay what she thought before he made the hire... New Era CEO Chris Koch and his wife Lindsay Koch pose before New Era Cap presents a James Harden Q & A and interactive design session on February 11, 2016 in Toronto, Canada.

Just be sure to bring the lube...

Yeah, that looks like a place King would be comfortable....

Oh, about this many...

Why's Leslie Moonves (CBS), John Lasseter (Pixar), Garrison Keillor (Prairie Home Companion), Charlie Rose (PBS) and on and on and on gone? #MeToo (even when it can't be proven) doesn't mean a guy's not talented and indeed, at the top of the ladder...

Well, So long Russ. Awkward, for sure... "Good afternoon. New Era Cap would like to clarify that Russ Brandon has not been officially hired by the company. While dialogue did occur between the parties, such discussions did not fully materialize. New Era Cap’s leadership team has worked with Russ Brandon for many years and these conversations were simply an outcome of that ongoing professional relationship. Thank you." https://buffalonews.com/2018/07/31/new-era-cap-russ-brandon-discussions-did-not-fully-materialize/

Well, you must not be listening very hard... "Russ Brandon has done a tremendous job in his 16 years with our organization and is very highly respected throughout the National Football League" -- Ralph Wilson, Jan. 1, 2013 “Russ’ experience, knowledge and relationships he’s built over the years made him the right choice." -- Kim Pegula, May 2, 2018

Cool story, bro...

The only hope would be if the Koch's aren't in it for the money. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahhahahahh.......

I doubt Under Armour could beat Nike's buying power. It's market cap is only $8.8 billion versus $124 billion for Nike. Brandon's deep ties to NFL marketing partners will be a big plus when the New Era auction begins in a few years, so grab your popcorn...

And get in on the gravy train when Nike eventually buys New Era...

F Tim Graham...

The motor mounts on my Ford Taurus failed and the engine dropped down, locking up the steering linkages. Good thing it happened pulling out from a red light as I'd have been a goner if it'd occurred at highway speeds...
