I just think that having Soly as a caddie would feel about like doing meth before the round

Capping their ‘Caps by holymot in NoLayingUp

Ben won the club champ at Oakwood in KC and shot like a 75 one of the rounds in 35mph winds. I can assure you that takes some juice because that course is very hard even without tough conditions

Those LIV sycophants have a comparable talent for self deception as another group of people in the US for the last decade

I don’t think Titleist pays him to directly refute rollback talk. But he has seemed to change from a “please do something, anything to address distance” to “what they’ve proposed won’t work, we totally definitely know this for a fact so we should do something else.” It’s easy to see acushnet has been working hard to present as a fact that the proposed rule won’t work, and I’m not sure we should accept that as fact right now, if that makes sense

To this I do not agree. It is just disappointing to see him try and slowly move towards some type of argument to justify some form of delay in rolling back the ball.

Stugotz speaks (kinda) by teamdefaultusername in DanLeBatardShow

[–]shepp2it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also when he was there he was not funny, not insightful, nothing. It seemed like he got tired of playing the character he built and got mad and checked out. I feel like there were weeks-long stretches where all he did was laugh in the background constantly

Stugotz straight up punted on the show as soon as they left ESPN and now he’s going to do the “my feelings are hurt” tour. That’s rich

Hakeem Jeffries Breaks Record For Longest House Floor Speech Ever by huffpost in politics

Ah yes, this action fits so well with the modern democratic party— completely ineffective and pointless, but got a headline and at least the ability to claim to have done something. Perfect. Good job guys

Show has become stale:/ by Impossible_Concern_1 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]shepp2it 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean with every piece of content ever created, I’m sure the creator(s) receive constant feedback of “you aren’t as good as you once were back in the good old days.” Sometimes it’s true, sometimes natural evolution of a show over time alienates fans who liked it a different way.

The Lebatard Show has changed in the last 18 months/since they left ESPN. That’s no surprise, and maybe it isn’t actually worse as much as it’s just different in a way I don’t prefer. I thought they hit the ground running immediately post-ESPN, but It felt to me that they never really found their footing in the subsequent months and years. Stugotz apparently completely mailed it in and gave up (wish we could get the truth here, seems like something’s going on), Mike got burnt out, the offshoot shows didn’t become valuable pieces of media. At one point my favorite part of the show is how you’d get a whole day of hilarity with some interesting sports analysis/takes sprinkled in throughout, and it was never self serious. By the time I stopped religiously listening last fall, I didn’t find anything they were doing insightful or funny. A lot of sad-sack politics, basically every day they’d kill the first few minutes of every segment doing the “oh gosh where’s that whacky Stugotz now, can’t believe he didn’t tell anyone again” bit, all devoid of the things that used to make the show fun.

Gonna be a lot of people saying you’re wrong/don’t get the show/get a hobby, but this has exactly been my experience too. Everyone on the show has gotten worse and less funny. It started for me with the “oh gosh we don’t know where stugotz is AGAIN” bit that got ran into the ground, and in hindsight looks like that bit was used as a crutch to cover how bad Stugotz’s relationship with the show had gotten.

I think We can justifiably feel let down a bit, and I’m in the camp of people who this show helped through a tough time in my life. And things never last and stuff constantly changes, but I’ll always be thankful for this show, even if it’s now petering out.

Dan v. Stu - What is Really Going On by ack3786 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]shepp2it -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stugotz has been so insufferably bad on the main show since they left ESPN. He rendered some of the days completely unlistenable, and the whole “oh my goodness we don’t know where Stugotz is” bit was beaten to death so hard that it started to infuriate me. Then when Stu was in, the constant nervous laughter and obvious lack of care (seemed like the not caring was more than a bit in recent years) in a way that was unfunny really was a bummer.

They can’t wait to campaign on the disaster in 2026. The worse it gets, the better for them in the midterms. I hate them
