That guy is 37 years old, has an ex wife and a mortgage. -
I didn't know there were still Grandy's anywhere. I loved their rolls with honey as a kid.

Fun story, like 80% of the wild modern minor league logos and uniforms are designed by the same firm (which is pretty much just two guys from San Diego): https://www.brandiose.com/

1st hole article... British Open 2025: With controversial internal OB, is this the hardest tee shot in the Open rota? https://www.golfdigest.com/story/hardest-opening-hole-at-the-open PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland β Ask any golfer and they will tell you the most nervous they get on a golf course is the first tee. The start of the adventure. Whether youβve warmed up properly or not, the anticipation of what is ahead can be overwhelming. For the pros, itβs exactly the same. At the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Rory McIlroy pulled his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and later admitted he was nervous and overwhelmed by the pressure and ovation he received that morning. βI remember the ovation I got on the first tee on Thursdayβ he told media on Monday, βand not being prepared for it or not being ready for how I was going to feel or what I was going to feel.β McIlroy started his tournament that week with a quadruple-bogey 8, but he wasnβt alone in his struggles. The first hole and specifically the first tee shot at Royal Portrush is possibly the most demanding in the Open rota. Let me try and explain why that is. The hole measures 421 yards from the Championship tee and is flanked by out-of-bounds on both sides. Whilst there is 70 yards of space between the O.B. lines, the lack of a βsafe sideβ offers no bail out for opening tee shots. It was on the left that McIlroy missed six years ago, while the right side was once the boundary of the course. The small, triangular plot of land to the right was originally not owned by Royal Portrush, but by a local man by the name of Hugh. When members would slice their balls on the first tee, they would say they were βhitting onto Hughieβs land.β The name stuck and thus, the hole is now named Hughie and the parcel of land is now used as a club practice area. Another factor in the challenge of the opening tee shot is the bunkers. Not necessarily their size or severity, but their positioning. When asked on Monday what he thought about the course, 2019 champion Shane Lowry was quick to point to the bunkers. βI forgot how well bunkered it is,β he said. βThereβs a lot of options off tees. You just have to go with what you feel. Youβre going to see a lot of people hitting different clubs off different tees.β And the first hole is a perfect example. The first trap is 260 yards from the Championship tee, bridging the fairway and first cut of rough. The second bunker is on the left but not directly across from the other bunker. Itβs 20 yards further on and measures 290 yards from the tee. If a player chooses less than driver, they will favor the left-hand side of the hole and stare down this bunker, whilst also being aware of the out-of-bounds line McIlroy crossed in 2019. If instead, they opt for driver, they will then look to skirt the right-hand side of the hole and have to avoid the right bunker and out-of-bounds line. While 421 yards may not seem like a lengthy two-shot hole by modern standards, the hole does play uphill. In the final round in 2019, Lowry hit iron off the first tee, missed the fairway and had 216 yards. He made bogey, but luckily started the day with a four shot lead, ultimately winning by six. That year, it wasnβt just he and McIlroy who struggled on the first hole. There were 21 scores of double bogey or worse, with only the 475-yard 11th seeing more high numbers. Pick up a course guide from the Royal Portush pro shop this week and youβll note the tip written in italics above the opening hole. It reads βUnless against the wind, take a 3-wood or long iron for your opening tee shot.β It seems most of the field this week will follow that advice. No doubt, all would happily take a 4. Rory would.

If you know, was an explanation provided for the traffic stop in the first place? Such as vehicle lights out, improper turn, speeding, driving too slowly, etc.? Sounds like Fburg PD was profiling and looking for drogas.

According to whom? IMDB sez Se7en, Heat and Braveheart are the 1995 top 3, not exactly chopped liver there, although grim subject matter and a substantial body count. Well made and entertaining for me at the time, a 44-year old ravenous consumer of films and books. Crimson Tide was #16, which was cool to see for a Tuscaloosa native.

I don't know if there's all that much disdain, they have some good tunes, it's probably more Bono is kinda of a dork and the Edge is the single most overrated guitarist in history by like a factor of a bajiilion. But I think musically they are very well respected. and Clayton and Mullen are a top 5 all time rhythm section.

46 days until Texas Football: Roosevelt Leaks, a Longhorn Trailblazer π€ by:Joe Cook Today is 46 days until kickoff. Today, weβll look back at Roosevelt Leaks, a Longhorn legend who wore No. 46. Roosevelt Leaks, a pivotal figure in UT football history The Texas Longhorns were 26-8 when Leaks was part of the program. A standout from Brenham (Texas), Leaksβ first season in 1972 included a 230-carry, 1099-yard, eight-touchdown campaign. He followed that up with an even better year in 1973, finishing third in Heisman Trophy voting behind Ohio State offensive lineman John Hicks, who was the runner up, and running back John Cappelletti, the winner representing Penn State. Leaks rushed 229 times for 1415 yards and 14 touchdowns, figures that lead the Southwest Conference and earned him consensus first-team All-America Honors. Leaks was the first African-American All-American produced by the Longhorn football program. Injury hampered his 1974 season. Leaks was able to rush 96 times for 409 yards and four touchdowns in 1974, but his 1972 and 1973 success paved the way for one of the best Longhorns to ever wear burnt orange to follow in his footsteps. Earl Campbell saw Leaksβ success at Texas following the integration of the football program, and it was one of the many factors that led to the Tyler Rose selecting Darrell Royalβs program. Leaks and Campbell even shared a backfield in 1974, a season where Campbell led the team in rushing as a freshman with 928 yards. Leaks was drafted by the Baltimore Colts in 1975, and he enjoyed a nine-year NFL career with Baltimore and Buffalo. Leaks was one of the best to tote the rock for the Longhorns, eventually joining the University of Texas Hall of Honor in 1985. He is an important figure in Longhorn history, not only for his on-field exploits between the lines, but also his achievements outside of them 342 yards SWC single game rushing record Roosevelt 'Rosey' Leaks' Groundbreaking Game in '73 - This Forgotten Day in Longhorns Football Off the field, his teammates called him "Sugar Bear"

Love Rosie Day π€ Roosevelt Leaks Position: Running Back Years: 1972-1974 Place of Birth: Brenham, TX Date of Birth: Jan 31, 1953 Jersey Number: 46 Height: 5-11 Weight: 220 High School: Brenham, TX (Brenham HS) The first African American Texas Longhorns player to earn All-America honors, Roosevelt Leaks powered his way for 2,923 yards and 26 touchdowns in just three seasons. A consensus All-America selection in 1973, Leaks finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. His bid for three consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons was derailed when he suffered a serious knee injury in his senior season. Leaks recovered to play nine seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts (1975-79) and Buffalo Bills (1980-83). Today, Leaks hosts an annual charity golf tournament for children in East Austin, Texas. In 2003, he became the first recipient of the Living Legends Award presented by the Ministry of Challenge.
