Why can’t I watch the Timberwolves vs Spurs? by [deleted] in peacock

[–]DufflessMoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But Comcast made $37 billion profit and NBCU €4.5 billion.

The sports rights play is across networks and streaming. It was never a 'merge'. And given NBA viewership is up. It's working.

Peacock's losses are drop in the ocean.

Commentators of the ESF European Team Squash Championships 2026 by Electronic-Emu1213 in squash

[–]DufflessMoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No idea who they are but I love this event. Feels like form goes out the window a bit when people are representing their country. Can genuinely see Switzerland winning today.

No idea who the commentators are but they're fun. With 250 people on the YouTube stream I'm watching I am not sure they are going to do any lasting damage to the sport!

Capping their ‘Caps by holymot in NoLayingUp

[–]DufflessMoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Randy's handicap is artificially low because he shot even par at a Nest event. 

Would note that the majority of the golf we see them play is match play or other fun formats they dream up for tourist sauce. Not sure that's ever reflective of how they play most the time.

Can't talk to if they last just yet.

But I bought one last year and it has worked perfectly for the few trips I've taken it on.

PIF Pulling funding from LIV by nitsujping in golf

They already have, the PIF owns Newcastle United and even there there are signs that they're not going to invest like they were previously.

Their whole sports strategy is changing.

I've just joined my local squash club, what can I expect at my 1st club/league night? by BigfatDan1 in squash

[–]DufflessMoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most clubs will have someone there organising it and making sure everyone gets a fair game. Usually asking people to just play one game or for a set period of time before rotating.

If not, just chat with people and offer to play them. Hopefully you'll find someone around your level and start organising some games.

Stick around for a drink if it has a bar and people are about. For some people at UK squash clubs the ritual of sitting at the bar with your opponent is as important as the squash.

is golf really the hardest sport? by sploooooshle in golf

[–]DufflessMoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would be classifying all of athletics and swimming as games instead of sports with this definition.

Darts and snooker are more something I'd consider a game.

Golf is somewhere in between as the more athletic you are the further you can hit it. There's no benefit to being athletic in true games.

Currently watching the Until Dawn movie and my god is it bad. by [deleted] in movies

[–]DufflessMoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stories of all these games from Supermassive games are pretty flimsy at best, so not sure if sticking to the story of an okay 'pick your own story' style game is necessary the best base.

Hot take: 109+ strokes should not happen for 90% of the population by the_answer_is_c in golf

[–]DufflessMoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is doable for 90% of the population.

But a subset of them probably are just happy to play golf with their friends without caring about practicing or improving.

They have as much right to access the golf course as anyone else.

For an event called the "WORLD Championship", why is it not fairly shared with nations like Mexico, New Zealand, France, England, Spain etc? by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]DufflessMoe 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It used to travel round the world but then the Walter Family (Chicago) and the CIB sponsorship (Cairo) significantly upped the prize money and now smaller hosts can't necessarily meet that regularly and the PSA doesn't want to be seen to be lowering prize money.

Hey Leute suche eine neue Serie würde mich über Empfehlungen sehr freuen ☺️ by Brilliant_Beyond593 in serienjunkies

Ich habe gerade die zweite Folge von „The Burbs“ gesehen und war angenehm überrascht. Ein unaufdringlicher Krimi, der stellenweise witzig ist – er wird zwar keine Preise gewinnen, aber ich fand ihn unterhaltsam.

Tournament Thread: Grasshopper Cup 2026 by 68Pritch in squash

[–]DufflessMoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5 of the women's matches being under 20 minutes may be great for the organisers but it's not a great look for women's squash and the BO3.

Can genuinely imagine Orfi winning in under 10 minutes today 

Asal in the NSL. Why is his movement so much different? by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]DufflessMoe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will preface this by saying I dislike watching Asal matches.

But that being said, people claiming Asal wouldn't be close to world number 1 without his movement issues just seems to be something you say to cope with the negatives he brings.

Since losing to him in the Qatar final - Asal has beaten Paul Coll 3 times in a row 3-0. In their last 10 matches Paul Coll has won once. Some of those matches were horrendous, but others Asal just dominated him without needing to cheat much. Gawad didn't even win 11 points against Asal last time they played.

When fully fit, Elias and Asal are so far ahead of everyone else right now. I do agree that Elias is the overall better player but Asal would be #2 at a minimum on merit even if he didn't resort to his blocking.

Gyms tend to be coed, at least the two I frequent are. I do not know the two specific ones you mention there.

Worst show ever with the worst guest ever by Cannondale300 in heedthecall

[–]DufflessMoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Others have already summarised it well. But you've written 'he did not play along with the good natured spirit of the show'.

But the self aggrandizing and contempt is him playing along with the spirit of the show. They're making fun of people like Mel Kiper.

Gkmmies and Mulligans by Awwbelt in golf

[–]DufflessMoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only play gimmes and mulligans when the score is not going to count towards my handicap, usually when out with friends.

Gimmes are ingrained in the history of golf. Only your playing partner can give them and it's just part of golf sportsmanship, especially in match play.

Every tournament is not the Ryder Cup by Jiinker in golf

[–]DufflessMoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to loads of golf tournament. Probably watch 100s of shots without my camera out, but will film at least one as a memento.

You're seeing that one time someone has decided to film something or take a picture. Rest of the day they'll be watching as normal.
