@theepicmap Been doing so my whole life - cold - liberal - expensive - liberal - intolerant of non liberals - liberal - gun hating - liberal

How is it living in this part of the United States?

@MattMcCarthy985 It’s called roster building by spreadsheets. That whole WAR thing is just simple minded…kinda like Breslow.

The Red Sox told trade partners that Duran was a 7 WAR player, not a 4 WAR player. They would've been better off getting a 4 WAR return and having a roster that actually works. Because this roster sure as hell doesn't work. I'd also like a manager who doesn't protest the roster's flaws to the detriment of the team. Durbin batted second, and Anthony never grabbed a bat. Get out of here with that.

@noplaceforsheep Restaurants should not allow dogs…full stop

At dinner last night, outside table, balmy late summer evening. 2 women arrive with 4 dogs, sit near us, one dog barks & barks & barks & barks. Lose my temper, say I didn’t come out to dinner to listen to your fucking dog barking, we can’t have a conversation here, make it stop. Puts dog on her lap & it shuts up. Gives me death stare for rest of evening. WTF is it with some dog owners? I mean, really, why would you expect other people to put up with your fucking barking dog when they’re out to dinner? 🤷‍♂️

@Eman_8282 Second hand on the clock in the photo on the right. I’m no genius

@Cackalacman It’d get a ton of attention if he played on LIV

The downfall of Jordan Spieth does not get enough attention. Maybe because he's so likable they leave him alone? Idk. He has fallen to #61 in the OWGR. We are past "he's injured" at this point. Guys get injured all the time.

@rossmacleodputt He has a collar.

No collar at Augusta. One of the best, most exclusive courses on the planet that nearly all of us will never get near Yet there’s members at very average clubs that would angrily sprint out of the clubhouse if they saw someone dressed like that on the 1st tee 🤣

@EPlourdeIV @NUCLRGOLF @PhilMickelson Ahhh…he’s 55 years old. If he was in his prime, he’d be on the first page of this leader board.

@NUCLRGOLF No, @PhilMickelson should keep his opinions to himself. He’s the last guy who should be complaining. He’s not playing, and he couldn’t and doesn’t have the game to challenge himself. Shut up Phil, you Saudi backed fraud

☹️🏌️⛳️ #DISAPPOINTED — Phil Mickelson has been watching The Masters and says he’s upset that more people aren’t able to go for the green on 13 & 15 “[It’s] taken away so much excitement and intrigue to the back nine. Another example of how longer isn’t always better.” Do you agree with Phil?

@John_Karalis Respectfully, that’s a completely ignorant statement. The vast amount of money the govt hands to SNAP recipients absolutely keeps food prices artificially high. Imagine a world where that money was cut by 50%. You don’t think grocery stores will sell less? It’s supply and demand

They don't get them free. The government pays for them. The grocery store still gets all the money for the groceries, so assistance programs don't impact prices.

@_consistentgolf Just triple bogeyed 18 to miss the cut by 2. Maybe he’s content making tens of millions with LIV and YouTube but he’s not just not winning any majors, he’s embarrassing himself and slowly watching his potential slip away. Gotta make changes now

I think Bryson would win more if he used more traditional equipment (normal length irons and wedges) My theory is that he is so go that he can over come bad equipment set up. But with a more optimal setup, he would be able to control the ball better than he already does.

@billlycakes @Savageboston @WSJ Only Netflix games are on Christmas and Amazon has a single weekly game on Thursdays. Meanwhile there are 5-8 games on Sunday for free. Fact

@DPG35029 @Savageboston @WSJ No, those leagues are on one streamer. NFL is on Netflix paramount Amazon to watch the games

REPORT: Per: @WSJ The justice department is opening a probe into the NFL. The primary issue is how difficult and expensive it is for fans to watch teams as a result of the various deals with TV and streaming companies. 👀

@AlexConti Absolutely no way do I want Blake Miller. Big Clemson follower, seen them play in person 5 times during his career. Decent OT on the right side, but decent in the ACC is not nearly good enough.

@Floridagirl0850 The fact that every day is “vacation life” for you kinda takes the edge off the giving up drinking story.

Alcohol - I live a beach life where it's the norm to have nightly cocktails with friends, and drinking at noon on the weekends is just a normal weekend boat day. Giving up alcohol required giving up most of my friends and almost all of my social life. Mostly because when you're sober, drunk people are boring, annoying, and it's not fun to be around them.

@dividendology Generally retirees spend much less in the last 10 years of retirement that their early healthy go go years. For most that’ll even up sequence risk.

The 4% rule is a popular retirement strategy that suggests retirees can safely withdraw 4% of their portfolio in the first year and then adjust for inflation annually. This approach aims to make savings last for 30 years. Sounds simple, right? Well, there’s a catch: sequence risk. Sequence risk refers to the danger of experiencing poor investment returns early in retirement, when an investor is making withdrawals. Look at the example pictured below. In the example, both investors started with $100,000, and had an average annual return of 4% over a 15 year time period. But here is what each finished with: Investor 1: $105,944 Investor 2: $35,889 Why such a difference? Because the sequence of returns you get plays a major role in the potential longevity of your portfolio. But if you're anything like me… The thought of the quality of your retirement—or even the ability to retire at all—being dictated by market performance right before or just after you retire is not acceptable. Fortunately, there is a solution that fixes this. Dividend Growth Investing. Instead of relying on market fluctuations and selling assets to fund retirement- Dividend growth investing focuses on building a portfolio of high-quality, dividend-paying stocks that consistently increase their payouts over time. This creates a steady, growing income stream, one that isn’t dependent on whether the market is up or down when you retire.

@billlycakes @Savageboston @WSJ “Forcing” people? Isn’t MLB, NBA and NHL doing the same? Percentage wise, all 3 of those leagues have way less game on free TV than the NFL does. Freaking Red Sox fans are “forced” to pay $30/mo for their shitty NESN plus product. Go after those leagues instead.

@DPG35029 @Savageboston @WSJ I’m assuming forcing people to subscribe to multiple streamers to watch games…..

@thegolfeditor Can he make tge cut? Hope so cause he’s great to watch when his game is on point. But this trend in majors is beginning to become just that…a trend

I asked Jon Rahm how he'll process his 6-over 78, his higest score in 37 career Masters rounds and the first one in which he did not record a single birdie. "It's a hard golf course. Some of the players might have been able to manage a respectable round, but when you have no feel with the swing whatsoever, it's just not an easy one. What I manage? Hopefully get some physio, get some dinner, get something positive going in that sense. Tomorrow is a new day. "It's going to be a very much more uphill battle right now, but I'm going to have to come out tomorrow and most likely post something in the 60s to have a chance to make the cut and give myself a chance on the weekend."

@SHistorians Life is complicated he was a man of his environment and that environment when he was growing up was Jim Crowe. Did other private clubs allow blacks to join in the 40s 50s and 60s? Not excusing it, but everything was different in the south back then.

Cliff Roberts is often maligned - he has been called a million names, but the Masters wouldn’t be a Major without him and it certainly wouldn’t be the sacred Major without him. Roberts was a flawed man - even at the club he helped create, he was more feared than loved, but almost everything you love about @TheMasters was shaped by either Cliff Roberts or the principles he installed. For the folks watching at home- Roberts insisted on perfection - the conditioning of the course was first and foremost. Isn’t it great that we have limited commericials- that too we owe a debt of gratitude to Roberts. Roberts demanded perfection and would constantly be telling CBS how to best show the Masters on television. He understood that to open up the doors to their private club, that it should always put its best foot forward. For the patrons on the course- every aspect of that experience was either created or it was shaped by Cliff Roberts. There is a reason Masters tickets are so revered- it’s because this Major is different- I don’t know if it’s the best of the four majors, but it’s 100% the best to attend. The entire tournament, even changes that are made today, are shaped by the high standards of Augusta’s first Chairman. Cliff Roberts saved ANGC from bankruptcy, he helped orchestrate its mystique and alienated many in an effort to make ANGC and the Masters what it is today. Today his name is often whispered, rather than said out loud, because despite delivering the best Major Championship experience, despite saving the club from foreclosure, despite putting the players and the patrons first, his legacy has been shaped by the club’s discriminatory policies under his leadership. #GolfHistory

@RDSBarath What’s so frustrating is he would be dominant if he has so stubborn about his iron play. Drives the ball long and straight and is a great putter. Guess he refuses to listen to advise or no one has the balls to tell him?

His short irons are overlength (because of the one length) and tremendously upright - and he's shocked that he's missing left?!?! I'm sorry to keep beating this to death, but this is NOT rocket science.

@peat_ross_ Every Sunday game, every week is on free over the air TV…CBS, Fox and NBC at night. What other major sports airs that many games on free TV? Maybe college football every Saturday, but that’s it.

The nfl is cooked. Who wants the games for free

@griffinflesch I’m not surprised Bryson blew up as he still hasn’t figured out his irons. Trying so hard to not hit it left, everything is right. But Rahm is a surprise, thought he’d compete this week.

The good news is Bryson and Rahm can start traveling to whenever the next LIV event halfway around the world is.

@drawandstrike Sorry, but Steve Bannon is not part of that crew. The guy went to prison to protect Trump. I’ve got no use for tge rest of them but it’s concerning that they’re apparently no different than tge MSM…single repeated narrative.

What's really gonna blow all of your minds is when Tucker, Candace, MTG, Alex Jones, Emerald Robinson, and Megyn are all saying **the exact same shit** on the same day, at the same time as... Barack Obama, Hillary, Chuck Schumer, and Jasmine Crockett. That's when some of you are gonna figure out the joke. They're paid by the same people. QUIT. FOLLOWING. THE. STARS.
