  1. If you end up with two watered down tours I will just watch less golf. Pretty easy for me. I dont watch minor league baseball or small college basketball either. So far Bryson is the only really elite current player but he's a weapons grade douchebag so not sure there is a real loss there. Its all a big PR ploy by the Saudis but its a loser unless one of those guys up and wins a major. Bryson is probably only current threat to do that but not going to happen this year. I think the best they can hope for is Champions Tour level of interest. Meh.
  2. Add Bubba Watson and call it a day. Rename it the Asshole Tour or something.
  3. If thats true I am sure his lawyer tried like hell to talk him out of it.
  4. Thats my question. I recall from decades ago that specific performance is limited. Mostly real estate deals. Cant he just pay the 1 billion and walk?
  5. I include Phil in that too. He hasnt done shit since PGA and he is over 50. Not real likely to happen again.
  6. This just feels like the USFL with better funding. Nobody in that field is a threat to win a major in the next three years other than DJ, but he hasnt been sharp since winning the Masters. You get 5 guys from top 30 in world rankings to walk then maybe you have something. Either way it kinda sucks because I want to see the best and deepest fields and this will water things down some.
  7. Welch couldn't get away with all the accounting nonsense now. Beating estimates by a penny every quarter through cookie jar accounting, etc. That paved the way for present recognition of prospective future earnings [Enron]. But no discussion of this is complete without all the greenmail incidents of the early 80's all in the name of shareholder value. Destroyed a lot of companies. Maybe they needed to be put down but that search for efficiencies or as our McKinsey friends [fuck them] call it "synergies" has exacerbated a lot of problems.
  8. It was the Bataan death march of television. Should have been 4 one hour episodes, tops. Despite all the shenanigans I didn't see anything that changed my mind either. In the end it was a self serving crap honestly.
  9. We just got through slogging through the 13 episodes on the Netflix documentary and I was kinda underwhelmed. Patterson is such an unlikable douchebag. Should I do the MAX version or nah?
  10. Maybe. Point stands that there are a lot of people who think they are special/smart because our government injected trillions of dollars into the economy with almost no strings attached. Now inflation is going to take that back plus some. Nobody who wasn't working in 1982 even knows what that's like. I do and it fucking sucks if you're on the wrong side of it. It wont hurt capital all that much unless they are levered out the ass, but the labor market could be in for a rough time. I hope it doesn't happen but you get a real recession early 80s style and some people are going to get punched in the mouth. Been there. Just like I keep hearing there are these young Wall St hotshots who are ready for a bond bear market. Reading about it in some textbook aint the same as living through it. Anyway as to the subject at hand you should be looking for this guys replacement. He's a loser so give him two in the back of the head. Never feel a thing.
  11. We are in a bear market headed to a potential recession. No more stimmy checks. There are a lot of folks who are about to get a dose of reality. Its a teaching moment but it probably won't take so you will have to can him. You will find someone better.
  12. Would be interesting to see the list of lame companies tangentially related to ESG that are on that list. I think its just another acronym-based investment scam that probably won't be worthwhile. Story stocks get annihilated in bear markets, if that weren't being made obvious as of late.
  13. I love how people are all "TWTR will sue Elon." Like he gives a shit. Real commercial litigation against deep pockets defendants lasts years. If they sue him the end result will be in some conference room mediation many years from now for pennies on the dollar. People would be shocked if they knew how many corp litigation people have never had a jury trial. As for TWTR, if you sue, you are open to discovery on the bot and censorship question. Not really sure they want anyone to see how that sausage gets made. I would bet the bot number as WAY north of 5% At any rate, I for one am entertained.
  14. Me neither. Dr. J was a fucking god.
  15. Preach it. I graduated college in 1983 oil bust, and law school in 1991 recession. Took forever to gain any real career traction. You get a real recession and there will be some attitude adjustment across the board. We probably need it. Just way too much money sloshing around has warped everyones sense of economic value of both capital and labor.
  16. Glad you're good Doc. Can't wait to catch your future Netflix documentary. Not sharing your optimism on city in near term. Longer term maybe but something has to give politically. I am reconsidering whether wearing a poor mans Rolex is a bad idea here. Even with the bullshit as long as we aren't victims of something violent we intend to stay. Its still such an awesome city.
  17. Im an old so I remember watching the Sixers series. Also remember thinking too bad for Lakers that Kareem can't play. Clearly plugging your point guard in at center against a team with basically two centers should be a disaster, right? The idea that not only did it work but Magic dominated has to be one of the most awesome feats in NBA history given the circumstances.
  18. People worked hard in the gulag too. Nothing to aspire to though. They work like that in China because there is no other option. Manufacturing is becoming more automated by the day. Factor in shipping from China to US and I don't think that trade is so hot right now.
  19. Havent read the book but I wonder if one of the reasons for Westhead wanting a slower offense is Kareem getting too old to run and gun for 100 games. I would argue that run and gun was in Westheads blood given the stint with Denver and Loyola Marymount. 1990 Loyola averaged 122 PPG.
  20. Man that's rough. Sorry for the family. So young.
  21. Also Rippetoe: There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy.
  22. Seems like this guy likes being a football player more than he likes playing football.
  23. I went a very long time without strength training. Started with a personal trainer at 50. I am putting up some numbers but more importantly my back and knee discomfort are gone and I am much stronger across the board. Do it but make sure you get coached up.
  24. Free weights are definitely awesome but you should also consider getting coached up on kettlebells. Its an awesome tool and you can do damn near anything. About the only thing you really need to supplement is pecs so you can cover that with pushups. Space and time efficient and will be great for your flexible strength. And +1 on back squats. I am going to school on the low back squat. Taking some mastery but I am liking it better than the high squat, even though we are only talking about a few inches [thats what she said]

    Still dont see how you can go hard in the paint unless there is, you know, paint.
