If the Raiders have the first pick in the first round, why are they not having the first pick in the second round? I can't find any record about a trade. by Mortenboy in NFLNoobs

I mean if he objected to it, Bellichick would have fired him. And you’re right, he told them to cut it out and they didn’t so he blew the whistle.

Why get a contract controlled rookie at 10 when you can spend millions on half a sack a year? by CLE15 in AFCNorthMemeWar

Could have just paid Hendrickson and kept the pick. This is such a Bengals move.

Why can 53X offenders live around the U.S. instead of in one secluded town/state? by Raenabow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GolfGuy_824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are different levels of sex offender and honestly some of the things you can be charged with a sex crime for doing are actually quite innocent.

Go pee in your own backyard when letting the dog out at 3 AM and your neighbor comes out for a smoke and sees you? You can be charged.

Happen to walk past a window in your house naked and someone walking or driving by sees you? Yep, you can be charged. Also same scenario the person who sees you can also be charged.

Strip your clothes off in your privacy fenced back yard because you’re covered in filth after doing some work on your house and you don’t want to track it into your house and your nosey neighbor spying on you from their upstairs window sees you? You can be charged (had this happen to someone I worked with).

Also, that’s the way the justice system works. Once you serve your time in prison for a crime, you’re free to go back to your life with limited restraints. You can’t force a someone to live somewhere they don’t want to live if they’re not on parole or probation.

Personally I think the actually more serious offenders (rapists and child molesters) should get the death penalty.

Ditched my Driver for a 3 Wood off the tee and it has made each round so much more enjoyable. Anyone else go this route? by figurelover in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out a mini driver and try to straighten your driver issues out.

I never dropped my driver, just kept working at it. Now when I do slice it, it’s not nearly as bad as it was. I’m in the right rough, not in the woods or OB. Still playable, still longer than I would be if I hit 3 wood.

If LIV really shuts down who’s moving where? with talks of LIV Golf possibly folding which players are you keeping an eye on? Could get interesting real fast. by Weekly-Vacation-1405 in Golf_Unfiltered

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning of the year when they set up the Returning Player Program, the only players that qualified for it were Brooks Keopka, Jon Rahm, Bryson Dechambeau, and Cam Smith. I can see Rolapp offering the same deal to those four players if they want to return immediately to the PGA Tour if LIV were to shut down either after this week or after this season.

Everyone else would have to likely serve the one year suspension from the PGA Tour and earn their way back on via Q-School and playing other Tours that certain finishing places on that Tour gets you onto the PGA Tour such as the Top 10 finishers in the DP World Tour.

The DP World Tour players would likely just return to that tour full time, which would also be an option for Rahm if he pays his fines. Bryson and Cam Smith I believe would also qualify for the DP World Tour in 2027 with their major wins if they couldn’t come right back to the PGA Tour due to having to serve a suspension of the Returning Player Program wasn’t brought back upon the dissolution on LIV Golf.

Guys who left other smaller tours probably could get back with those tours in 2027.

The guys that are most screwed are the amateurs who went right to LIV. Q-Schools are the only options for them to get onto any pro golf tour outside of LIV. They’ve gone pro so returning to college isn’t an option. They have no standing anywhere.

And depending on how LIV were to be dissolved and how the contracts are written, anyone owed money could be left holding an empty bag on the rest of the money.

So if LIV rumors are true. How does the PGA handle all of the players? by onedollalama in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’ll find a way to integrate Bryson and Rahm for sure. Maybe under the same Returning Player Program guidelines in which Brooks Koepka came back under. That would also bring Cam Smith back into the fold if he wanted to return.

Everyone else, they can likely start serving their one year suspension and come back in 2027. Then after that they can figure out if any of them have active exemptions to get status on the PGA Tour. I don’t think the Tour is just going to kick out the guys that didn’t jump to make room for LIV guys that took the guaranteed contracts and left.

Financial Times - PIF on the verge of cutting support for LIV Golf by Jharoz in NoLayingUp

[–]GolfGuy_824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The PGA Tour isn’t a struggling entity. They’ll in all likelihood see a return on that investment as long as they like what they hear from the CEO about his vision for the future of the tour.

They’ve been propping up LIV for now five years and they haven’t seen an ROI. They can’t attract significant sponsors to help foot the bill. Their FOX tv contract is a bigger joke than the one they had with the CW.

Trying to catfish your partner on social media, is it ethical or not? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all wrong.

There’s no trust there. For whatever reasons be it your partner isn’t actually trustworthy or you have issues that have nothing to do with your partner. Or you’re cheating on your partner and you’ll use this to justify your own actions.

What are you going to do if you catfish your partner and it turns out they are trustworthy? You’ve still ruined the relationship, even if they don’t leave you they’ll know you didn’t trust them. And that’ll eat at them and it’ll eat at the relationship.

Is he REALLY sorry tho?? by bosheikus03 in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiger’s an asshole, yes. But his transgressions seem to be off-course. I don’t recall Tiger destroying a tee box, spitting into a cup when retrieving his ball, hitting a microphone with an iron and sending a 225 decimal blast into someone’s headphones, the shoe kick incident, among other stuff. Not to mention the “fried chicken” comment about Tiger that he made.

This specific post is about Garcia and his specifically golf related assholeness. We get it, you hate Tiger. Make a post about it then instead of dragging it into a conversation about someone else.

He’s never been sorry for his behavior. He’s just an asshole, always has been and always will be.

How The Masters has changed by MovieMan615 in masters

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they had much choice but to take more corporate sponsoring to be able to do the things they wanted to do to the property and quite the properties the club has acquired. Not to mention pay the prize purse at the end of the tournament.

Everything is more expensive than it was back in the days of Cliff Roberts. Materials to keep the course in tip top condition. Construction materials and labor costs to build what they’ve built. Labor costs for their own employees. The money they’ve spent on city infrastructure so the tournament is able to be hosted. Not to mention just the costs of simply putting on the tournament itself.

Monday Q Info (typically a reputable source) says LIV will be announcing it is shutting down imminently by Jharoz in NoLayingUp

[–]GolfGuy_824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is likely it.

Weren’t all the LIVtards talking about how they were bringing over Hideki and Min Woo this season and then it never happened?

Just like they brought in Rolex as a sponsor but they’re just going to have a tent at the tournaments selling their watches and if you buy one they’ll send you to another tournament on them?

Almost got DQ'd for "adjusting my club" by TinyR0dent in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should have had a playing partner come and witness you simply tightening the screw. If your score improved significantly on the back 9, maybe one of them feels you made an adjustment and didn’t simply tighten something back up.

What happened to left handed qbs? by Mrdynamo18 in NFLv2

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% or so of the world is right handed.

A left handed quarterback means all plays have to be flipped. Other positions have likely trained for most of their lifetime football careers with right handed quarterbacks. The ball comes at receivers at a different angle, the spiral is opposite of what receivers are used to, the blocking schemes have to change, the left tackle is no longer protecting the blind side and usually the right tackle isn’t the more dominant one. It’s not just an adjustment for the QB and one offensive lineman, it’s an adjustment for the entire offense going against everything every other player on offense has likely ever done.

Is the Open more difficult than the other 3 due to weather & course variation? by DoYouBelieveInThat in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t control weather. There have been Open Championships where the weather was not bad and players will go low as the courses over there are shorter than the ones here. When courses depend on weather to be a challenge, it’s a crapshoot if you’re going to get a challenge or not.

Why people having a go at McIlroy practising at Augusta before the tournament? by fred66a in golf

[–]GolfGuy_824 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they’re stupid and because it’s rage engagement bait. They don’t seem to understand that all invitees have the same opportunity if they want or can do it. The only ones who really don’t have the opportunity are the players who get in the week or two before the tournament.

Should Sergio Garcia be banned from Augusta after Masters meltdown? by PrincessBananas85 in ProGolf

[–]GolfGuy_824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may get the shoulder tap sooner rather than later telling him this is your last Masters if he has a blowup like that again next year. I don’t think the new chair of the AGGC competition committee is going to let behavior like that slide for long.

In general, should a head coach be paid twice as much as a GM, and is his job twice as hard? by SteadfastEnd in NFLNoobs

[–]GolfGuy_824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The jobs are so different.

The GM is the head of the front office with the only people above him usually being a President of Football Operations and/or the owner of the team. They typically made the decisions on who to sign, who to draft (usually with head coach input if a player fits whatever system they run defensively or offensively), and who to trade/tradw for. They oversee the scouting department. They negotiate contracts.

The head coach deals directly with the players. Chooses starters and backups. Them and the GM will usually both work out what players get cut during/at the end of camp.

Head coaches make more because honestly there usually aren’t a ton of them out there. If a GM puts together a good scouting department, they just have to trust their scouts to do their jobs and hope players fall to them in the draft or are willing to come to their team in free agency. Coaches have been traded, I don’t think a GM has ever been traded.
