@lennyp23 @OffTheBenchTeam A rare mistake from Gerard: Jack Gunston’s 50th game last night?

@rohan_connolly Perkins must drive you nuts 🏈

@NickMcKim The very essence of espousing from the bleachers with zero understanding of life

Labor has hitched us to war criminals Trump and Netanyahu by joining their illegal war on Iran. It’s embarrassing and degrading for our country, and as always in war, innocent people will pay the highest price. The killing needs to stop and the war must end.

Lynch, This reads less like a rag column and more like a prosecution brief with jokes stapled on. You dress it up in Gladwell and “outliers” language, then treat subjective disdain as if it’s the data. “Bootlickers”, “apologists”, “social media slurps” isn’t analysis. It’s a tell. You’re not testing a claim, you’re selecting targets and cueing the reader how to feel about them. Your LIV section is built on a double standard that always favours the PGA Tour. Adelaide’s revenue being an outlier is an interesting business point, but you use it only to sneer at LIV fans, not to examine what it actually proves: that elite men’s golf can thrive outside the US when it’s staged properly and priced for the market. Cue LIV Golf South Africa in a few weeks, that could be bigger than Adelaide. Then you reach for a US TV number as a mic-drop without explaining the source, method, platform context, or like-for-like comparison. That’s not “evidence”. That’s a stat as a bludgeon. The Kim section is the giveaway. You concede the hard truths, absence, addiction, rebuild, and then you cannot bring yourself to let the sporting achievement stand without reducing his return to a “desperate marketing stunt”. That’s not something you demonstrate; it’s something you assert because it flatters your priors. The inconvenient fact is that Kim’s place wasn’t protected: he was relegated, then earned his way back, then won. If you’re arguing LIV has no merit pathways, Kim is the counterexample in your own copy. Your sweeping claims need receipts, not rhetoric. “More than 90%… by invitation.” “Contractually protected.” “Ejected based solely on national origin.” Those are allegations mis represented and half truths, with no context and no written rules cited, and no acknowledgement that the PGA Tour is also in parts a closed shop in practice: sponsor exemptions, medical extensions, major-category protections, reshuffles, and a system that has always mixed merit with status, money, and relationships. If you want to prosecute LIV for being curated, you need to apply the same standard to the Tour you’re implicitly defending. In the end, the “outliers” framing is just a narrative trick: Player as your designated villain, Kim as your reluctant hero, LIV as your permanent defendant, and the PGA Tour as the unspoken baseline of virtue. You can dislike LIV, plenty do, but you don’t get to replace reporting with mockery and call it truth. If you want to persuade readers rather than rally your own side, drop the sneers, show all the sources and truths, and argue against the strongest version of the opposing case, not the caricature. Of which you certainly are along with your pal Brandel, the two biggest Spitting Image caricatures in golf.

⁦@lennyp23⁩ ⁦@OffTheBenchTeam⁩ ⁦@craighutchy⁩ Damo says “VAYmently” not “VEHmently”!

@chambleebrandel I admire your golfing convictions Brandel but don’t agree with everyone. Could you share your thoughts on AK’s incredible success in Australia?

@Daniel_Rapaport Great words DR

This isn’t a time to bicker over the Battle of the Tours. This is the time to appreciate a truly remarkable story of perseverance. Anthony Kim was one of my favorite players as a kid. Then he disappeared and re-emerged more than a decade later looking like a completely different person. Today he's showing us that DOG is still in there. Big time.

@thedms14 @Daniel_Rapaport He has done more than that!

@Daniel_Rapaport Can we let the guy put together more than a couple good rounds of golf before declaring him back?

Anthony Kim is very, very good again and it’s awesome to see. Lot of us wrote him off after that first year back but man has he turned it around.
