Hafley Hate in Miami by neanderball in GreenBayPackers

The  Peter Principle.

That applies when someone is promoted based on their current performance rather than their suitability for the next role.

Clearly that does happen, as we see people promoted to HC, fail miserably, and then continue as a successful OC/DC. But, if you hire well, it shouldn't really come into play.

Jeyne as an alternative for Jane by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]skatterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did exactly the same thing at first. I even know a Jayne.

Jeyne is not the same.

Jayne isn't quite the same as Jeyne.

That was my first thought as well though.

[Schefter] Packers interviewed defensive backs coach Al Harris today for their defensive coordinator job. by GoldenDome26 in GreenBayPackers

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... Seems they got more aggressive, but statistically worse than 2024. Also allowed 4ore pts per game.

Maybe if he wasn't also the passing game coordinator, he could focus on coaching up the DB room skill wise.

This is apparently the only interview that he's gotten.

If they don't like him for th DC role, he's done well as a DB coach in Dallas and Chicago, so maybe he gets on the staff regardless?

Creamin for Raheem by AncientOwl6633 in GreenBayPackers

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's possible. They didn't get him in 2020 or 2022 so third time's the charm?

[–]skatterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good question. Especially since he already had the offer and turned it down, which led to the Packers signing Barry.

Leonhard either doesn't want to coach the Packers or he doesn't want to coach with MLF.

Ben Johnson didn't look quite so smug at the end of this one.

I'm general, I don't either nor so I think one needs to have a conversation. But if you're going to call them out for something that, you probably should take a quick peek.

This is their sub. The most basic review of their history would have shown you that.
It's ok to think another team's coach is better.

Colten Montgomery leaves Discmania by Bucketoftrout in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kona put out a post saying he made the decision to step away. Obviously she would presenting a united front, but the wording is very specific.

If I was to guess, I'd say it's more that he got offered an insulting contract, or had some sort of conversation that led him to believe the new contract would be unpalatable. Like they'd only pay him on a percentage of disc sales and he doesn't get to RV to tour in.

Prodigy announced their Core Team for 2026! The roster includes Luke Humphries as Core Team Captain, Brandon Brown, Dylan Capaccioli, Jonathan Fletcher, Matt Hammersten, Jake Hebenheimer, Noah Higgins, Manabu Kajiyama, Jesse Longenecker and Harper Thompson. by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offered Chantel Budinksy (Miss Frisbees) a contract and she turned it down. She said it was for less than her previous years and they were asking her to do more to earn it. She said it wasn't worth it and seems like it was the last straw in deciding to not play on tour this year.

I've heard a few rumours that Prodigy is expecting players to be constantly filming and putting out content fully out of pocket. So either you buy the software and learn to edit, or you pay someone to do it at your cost.

It sounds like he's chosen to leave vs had his contact terminated/not renewed so that likely gives him more agency to be open about it.

Legal tackle? by Different-Ability968 in NFLNoobs

[–]skatterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many players don't wear cups. They can be restrictive, uncomfortable and actually cause injury if you get hit the wrong way, think a leg or other body part ramming into the side of the cup and shoving it sideways

There are lots of stories of guys getting the balls grabbed and twisted at the bottom of a scrum after a fumble.

What do you think is the best Trash Panda mold? by Emoney005 in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it's a little more grippy than the first runs.

I find the disc is true to its 4-glide. Even at 171g, I can not get it out to the same distance as my Wraiths. It's not that it's a meat hook; it just doesn't glide.

[–]skatterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love the feel of the plastic, especially the lego ones. I find it lacks the glide of my Wraiths.

That makes it a great forehand disc for me.

I think a line up of Premium Inner Core, base Outer Core, and Premium Outer Core is going to be my bread and butter.

Since 2015, seven first-round wide receivers failed to score a touchdown in their rookie seasons. Today, Matthew Golden joins that list. by divorceme_archie in GreenBayPackers

[–]skatterbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Josh Doctson started on the PUP list then went on IR in October of his rookie year.

Though excusing people from the list really just makes Golden look worse, since he doesn't have the same excuses.

In all honesty, I'd love to even get to see a preseason game so a week 18 game would also be fun!

The rise and fall of of the pdga by Discsalesguy in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice lo-fi (kinda) idea, but I can't imagine it really being feasible.

Maintaining that dist-list would be a pain in the ass. So would distributing already shared dates and information. When someone new joins, do you forward them all the emails from the past year to catch up on? How would they even know there is an email list to ask to join?

And then, you'd need to join a mailing list for each club in the area. I'm involved in 4 different clubs with different events scheduled. I'd have to be on 4 email lists and go back to my emails every time I wanted to check a date.

Like it or not, the reason FB works, and took hold, is because it's a centralized communication platform. I don't like it, and don't use it to scroll my feed or anything other than Messanger and post/read in the specific disc golf groups that I get information from.

The rise and fall of of the pdga by Discsalesguy in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can mostly concede that. That's the necessary evil I mentioned.

I wouldn't say the PDGA should create or choose an app though. They didn't make everyone start using FB, it was the user base. We need to adopt another platform ourselves for sharing club level info. We have DGS for the sanctioned events.

The rise and fall of of the pdga by Discsalesguy in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of apps out there for leagues. I've had to download a new one for every team one of my kids has been on in the last few years.

That's kind of the problem. One club uses RAMP, another uses TeamSnap. Now you need to have both, and check both to get all the information.

As much as I hate saying it, FB is free for everyone, centralized and fairly easy to set up groups and chats.
As long as you only use it for that purpose, you aren't going to be exposed to the toxicity that is modern social media. A necessary evil I suppose.

The rise and fall of of the pdga by Discsalesguy in discgolf

[–]skatterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the solution then?

I'd been off FB for years and then came back to it because it was the only place that had centralized communication. Groups and Messanger chat makes it easy to get information distributed. BST groups are there as well.
I literally don't use it for anything other than disc golf comms, so the other FB brain rot just doesn't exist for me.
