What an incredible and well deserved honour. Robin was my guest on episode 45 of @CurlingLegends Podcast. One of my favourite talks.

@blaing99 @fasselin94 @TeamGushue Even the greats make mistakes. Anyone remember 2009 men's world championship? Also, let's all be nice to the people watching on TV, they help pay the bills.😉

@fasselin94 No, no it wasn’t. But let’s keep thinking that the people watching on tv have a better idea of what’s happening when compared to a rookie team like @TeamGushue Inexperience likely cost them again.

Was that not a draw to the edge of the 4ft for a potential game winning 3ball?

@blaing99 @curling Thanks for the kind words. Be sure to listen to the latest Rock Logic podcast where @Guertez, @Hall_Curls44 and I dig in further. Have to get you on the panel next time and a future CSI episode. rocklogic.libsyn.com/masters-rules-…

@curling Interesting article from a guy who knows curling numbers better than anyone. And yes, I found it interesting before he suggested listening to me commentate a certain situation.😉 I’d love to see the rule played again and see how teams adjust from what they learned in Guelph.

@ShaneRyanHere Question @ShaneRyanHere what do you consider a “blow out”. Golf Channel used the term “lopsided” In these team events, a single match impacts 2 points (not one). For example, losing 18-12 is only a loss of 3 matches, (not 6). Is losing 3 matches out of 30 a blowout?

I'm going to say it—I think Mike Weir deserves some frying here. A little sneak preview of something I've writing with what I think is an extraordinary stat

Not Gen Z but the most difficult part of Zach Lowe being let go is the de-emphasis on what makes sports so great. Listening to experts who are passionate and intelligent about what they study will always trump a hot take constructed to get a rise out of a ton of people.

After 12 extraordinary years, today is my last day to work at CBS Sports. That is a surprisingly difficult thing for me to type. It has been a dream job in so many different ways. I will write more about that experience and what's next for me in the Normal Sport newsletter starting tomorrow. To read about all of that, you can sign up right here. ❤️ you all. normalsport.com

@NoLayingUp Interesting how team events often considered “lopsided” victory. 18 1/2 and 11 1/2 is 3.5 matches - not 7 (a match scores 1 but also takes a potential point away from an opponent). Maybe they should count total holes won instead of matches? sbnation.com/golf/2024/9/30…

It's been more than a quarter century since the Internationals won this event. Half of the singles matches have teed off and the US is -2500 to win. Something just has to be done at this point.

@p_penney @JimHHartsell @jamierkennedy @IrishOpen_ @SkySportsGolf with VPN? What are our options?

@JimHHartsell @jamierkennedy @IrishOpen_ Won't see much in Canada.thurs and 3am friday. Then olg channel goes to solheim

Happy Royal County Down week 🙌 This week's @IrishOpen_ takes place on one of the greatest courses in the world 🍿

@Super70sSports My first response is Joey Browner. Then I think of another dozen greats. Shout out to this legend who has not been mentioned. Left the game early and kept most of his scruples intact.

Name a Minnesota Viking. The first one that pops in your head. I’ll start:

No mention of NBC/Peacock golf? @nolayingup @KylePorterCBS @fried_egg_golf @ShaneRyanHere nytimes.com/athletic/56737…

@fried_egg_golf @OCMGolf Great. Now how exactly does the public get a chance to play it? 🤨

Introducing the new Medinah No. 3. After a full overhaul by @OCMGolf, the championship No. 3 course at Medinah reopens for member play today.

Not a great scene now in YOW for @porterairlines flight 287 to YEG. 6 hour delay with 7 time changes…now cancelled. A mess.

Finally. It’s about damn time…

Can't make June 13 @RonSexsmith + Nick Lowe at Festival Place, Sherwood Park. Trying to sell 2 single tix (front row) seat B2 and B6. I will be in Ottawa on June 17, so now I'm looking for new tickets! Kijiji and FB restrict ticket sales, can anyone help? Suggestions?

@kevinpalmer Thirty Helens also agree... youtu.be/UzsA6w7OrGQ?si…
