@BillSpies1 @acaseofthegolf1 Dude is an engagement farmer, and it’s a dumb statement trying to get replies. Best to just block him and move on.

@acaseofthegolf1 Why didn’t he say that in the article?
English
This video has really been misunderstood.
This includes his % he paid his caddie. That alone last year was likely a million dollars.
And his other people (coach, mental, etc) are on a % of winnings salary so it’s very easy to see how it quickly gets to an average of $50,000 a week. Especially after a great year.

Ben Griffin spends $50k a week while traveling on the PGA Tour. Housing, trainers, flights, coaches, special meals… Is Ben Griffin better than Ben Hogan and Lee Trevino, guys who drove themselves and stayed in Holiday Inns?

@JasonZellman @JCAGOLFReport They don’t. This is just due diligence before the file and it’s sold for parts.
English
@JCAGOLFReport How do they survive on 25% of what they have been spending annually? Have to reduce purse sizes right? Decrease number of tourneys? How pay Bryson? How pay Rahm in a couple years? I would love to see legitimate answers to these questions

Can't wait for all the posts and comments from people that have not seen the proposal to investors talking like they know when they actually don't know the particulars for which LIV Golf thinks 250MM is enough to save them.
We won't do our analysis until we know the following details:
1. End of year projected revenue.
2. How many events end up being profitable in 2026.
3. How much cash will be left at end of year.
4. Are players contracts for 2027 going to be restructured.
5. Status of the team franchises sales.
6. Projected 2027 revenues and new prospects.
7. 2027 purses.
8. Amount of events in 2027.
9. How much % those investors will get in exchange of 250MM.
10. Are the players going to take equity in the league (apart from teams and similar to PGAT) in exchange of current contracts and renewals.
11. Is the PIF going to write-off the losses?
And many other intricacies that anyone who hasn't seen the investor proposal doesn't know. So, anyone posting or commenting if 250MM is enough or not without knowledge of the above (at minimum), is simply guessing.

Devastating news. Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch has died at age 41.
English
@slmandel It’s impressive, but men’s fast pitch is about 82-85MPH consistently, so that’s even harder to fathom.
English
Great story. I will never understand how anyone makes contact against 78 mph from 43 feet.

Happy @NCAASoftball Super Regional weekend to all who celebrate! First pitch in @Vol_Softball vs @UGASoftball will be thrown in less than 4 hours … any chance it’ll clock in at 80 mph? No paywall on this story! nytimes.com/athletic/72930…

@Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson Funny, Steve’s employer could have stayed in that same conference and enjoyed that schedule.
English
Shots fired at Texas Tech? Texas' Steve Sarkisian via @AnwarRichardson: "There's a team in our state in another conference w/a schedule that I would argue if I played w/our 2's & 3's we could go undefeated & they’ll probably make the CFP this year” 💀

@OS_Beaver @TBM_JY Imagine going through the trouble of having ChatGPT build this graphic just so you can pretend to have sources.
English
If my source is right, this could be the terms of the settlement between Pac-12 and Mountain West. 53 million total. 13 million would be paid upfront in Year 1 and remaining 40 million in Years 2-5. 10.6m total per team to settle all exit and poaching fees. @TBM_JY clowned again!

I'm starting to become convinced that Trump's monomaniacal obsession with the ballroom/bunker is because he plans on barricading himself inside the bunker when his term is up.
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman
NEWS ON THE BALLROOM -- The $1B for USSS is one of the most important things Republicans are dealing with right now. It is the single provision that is standing in the way of ICE/CBP funding. Trump wants this on his desk by June 1. But that's all been complicated by the $1B for security, including Trump's ballroom. Forget the House floor right now. it's irrelevant. all the action will begin when the Senate moves the reconciliation bill. As @LauraEWeiss16 scooped last night, Senate is not only changing the $1B language, but they are also considering lowering the number from $1B. Senate is engaged in a lot of Trump management right now. They know Trump wants the money but they also know that, in its current form, they cant pass it. The parliamentarian is a side show, for the most part. Because if the language ends up on the floor, it could easily come out during vote-a-rama. And here's the real kicker: The House is even trickier. Absences and opposition will kill this provision in the House. Johnson has been warned by rank and file. This won't fly. punchbowl.news/archive/51926-…

@WhoDeySteph @PolymarketBlitz Because she’s posted “glamour shots” before of her self. She obviously does that for the clicks and the comments. It’s far too common these days. You can’t show skin and not expect some of the bullshit that comes with it.
English
@PolymarketBlitz Who cares if she took Ozempic or not. That’s her business. Why is okay to comment on other people’s bodies and tell them how they should look?
English
Annie Agar confirms her significant weight loss in a short amount of time, is not due to ozempic but cutting out sugar and incline walking.
No cause for concern according to Agar.
English
@BloodPopcornPod @PolymarketBlitz She literally admitted to still drinking some…and the video has the word BAR right behind her which might indicate maybe she’s still having one or two a day (which is totally fine btw). This does not look healthy and I hope that if she needs help, she’s willing to get it.
English
@PolymarketBlitz You left out one of the key things she said -- she also cut out alcohol. When people do that they drop a lot of weight even if they are not trying to. Especially if they were treating alcohol like a food group.
English
@emma_lingan Play stupid games win stupid prizes. You can keep your mouth shut as a fan. Totally allowed.
English
This logic only applies when the response is remotely proportional. A fan yelling “you suck” at a pro athlete after a missed play is basic ballpark heckling. A player responding with “suck my fing d, b****” is not the same universe.

@emma_lingan She chirped him. He chirped back. No one should have an issue with what either person said.

@ImmaculateView You’re getting warmer. Discovery emails were due in court tomorrow from the MWC. That’s the timing that matters here. Not the larger G6 macro unification.
English
I think this is huge. I think the timing of this right now is likely going to prove to be very important.
Amanda Christovich@achristovichh
NEW: Pac-12, Mountain West, and several schools have agreed to resolve their lawsuits through a settlement. They will pause litigation proceedings to negotiate the terms of an agreement.
English
@rltsports What past history? Where has there been a comparable duress situation in sports history?
English
Wrap it all up with a nice little bow!🎁 Past history tells us that these things usually settle for around $.55 cents on the dollar or based on a $150m suit, a total of $82.5m to MWC. Be interesting to see where this one comes out.🤔
Jon Wilner@wilnerhotline
Per court listings, Pac-12 and MW have reached a settlement in principle. No details, no docs and nothing finalized. Hearing scheduled for 6/9
English
@TBM_JY Gonna be a tough day when the numbers come out for you.
English
@BradenTClark Conspiracy, “take advantage of their desperation”, we have them over a barrel, etc. Then throw in probable discussions on the poaching penalties and how to leverage the desperation as well. MWC will get some money, but not even close to half of that they extorted.
English
What could have possibly been in those emails?
Not trying to stir anything, but if those emails were bad enough to throw out millions of dollars, what did these presidents say?
WILL@willmbetts
I’m no lawyer, but as a spectator, engaging in settlement talks just a day before MW presidents’ emails were about to be put on full display tells me this was going to get extremely ugly.
English
@willmbetts Yeah, for sure. There’s simply no way the timing of this is good for the MWC.
English
I’m no lawyer, but as a spectator, engaging in settlement talks just a day before MW presidents’ emails were about to be put on full display tells me this was going to get extremely ugly.
Jon Wilner@wilnerhotline
Equal split is ~75 million. If 100m+, big win for MW. If 50m-, big win for P12. Settlement announced six weeks after judge compelled MW to turn over presidents' communications in discovery and one day before discovery hearing
English
@TBM_JY The fact that they settled the day before a discovery hearing was NOT because the PAC 12 was worried about emails……
English
For the ONE MILLIONTH TIME,
There was NO timeline on making any payments by the Mountain West to the members and all payments were CONTINGENT upon receipt of funds.
A "July 1 deadline" is a total fabrication of the MW GOR that was agreed to and signed by every member.
KJ Cool M@KevinMc75
@BlakeKrek @johnwcbragg @TBM_JY The early June settlement heavily favors the PAC. The PAC had all the time in the world while the MWC has a July 1 deadline to start making retention payments to the schools that stayed. This cost the MWC giving the PAC leverage.
