@joanfromboston @AdameMedia Honestly very good points here, but in biden’s case he definitely was someone who worked his way up through the system. A few years earlier with his cognition intact he could have probably been more effective.

One of the biggest problems in American industry is our managerial class, which has been eroded since the 1980s. Managers used to have to work their way up through a system, show that they actually fully understand a business or industry - now they substitute degrees for that.
It seems to me since the '80s we overflow with a managerial class, perhaps because of the growth of MBAs.....but yet NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO RUN ANYTHING. This includes our politics. Look at our politicians - how many actually know how to RUN something? Not just get elected to office, but know how to build, maintain, repair, grow a business with all its attendant problems? They really don't. We hire politicians based on their appearance, blarney and how much money they've spent from "donors". None of them really "know" how to do anything but be bullshit factories that run through tons of money. Their idea of management is to win over or placate voters by spending more and more money with no real goals, metrics or oversight - and this also creates much of the corruption we see because.....there is NO oversight. No one seems to apply real metrics of performance. We can say Donald Trump has done a terrible job....but so did Biden. So would Clinton have done. Harris would have done a terrible job. Bush did a terrible job. Most of these people HAVE done terrible jobs or we wouldn't be in this position today (which is an accumulation over decades) because.....they never actually ran anything and don't know how to manage businesses or...much of anything. They know how to posture and make commercials, have conferences, talk endlessly about whatever problems they've defined (As Shakespeare noted: "Talkers is no good doers.") take money, and give it away.
We have a whole class of professional managers who got MBAs or PhDs, or have relatives or someone they slept with, or they bought someone off and THAT is how they became managers and they DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN ANYTHING OR PROVIDE AN ACCOUNTING - and that's the major reason why we're in this state today. It's a problem we have to acknowledge especially as we consider candidates for elections - none of them may actually be able to DO anything. We have to be aware of this when we set expectations and vote.

@hutch_golf @Top100Rick @LudvigTracker It’s not that it’s governed by mediocre minds, it’s beaucracy and pressure from players and oems.
English

This is so dumb. The variable that’s changing year-over-year is NOT the ball. It’s the faster swing speeds. This is just going to incentivize them to swing faster.
There are a half dozen things they could do to make distance less of a factor. This does the opposite.
Absolutely senseless. It’s embarrassing how much of the game is governed by the most mediocre minds.
English

Are you ready to lose some driver distance? In 2030 you will be.
If you hit driver 220 yards you will lose 4.5 yards.
An elite pro like Rory will lose 12 yards.
This ball rollback is a start, but imo not nearly enough. Rory going from 325 to 315 won’t change almost anything.
Which means another rollback or tech change will have to come. IMO they should just do more all at once. Rip off the bandaid.
Great stuff from Golf Digest. Full read in next post.

@GuardyGuard440 @bigrobbbbbbbb Really I didn’t know that Scottie Scheffler was endangering anyone… Nice try though

This is a major win for The Masters and golf in general #ShrinkTheGame

@moneywalshman @PrinceOfFlint I’m confused by this, at least people have actually played pinehurst?
English

@PrinceOfFlint View it the same as Pinehurst these days

Puka's lawyer more or less admitted the biting part, calling it "horseplay," per this TMZ story.
Welp, that helps explain the Rams' surprise interest in A.J. Brown.

@TheQuarterZip There’s this one ahead brand lineup that a lot of nice courses have in their shops that I must admit I like
English

Why you see Howie getting low grades in the league report cards.
Mid players getting paid more their worth will not like him.

@Kevinptrump @sluv0926 @Zentotic @thomasrp93 AJ was an active liability last year people gloss over this. Stopping routes and putting no effort into catches
English

@sluv0926 @Zentotic @thomasrp93 Offense which sucked last year only looked its best when AJ was inactive.

"Jalen Hurts just retired your opportunity to be a HOF, so now you played in the NFL, but who's gonna remember you?"
Acho has to be the biggest Hurts hater, right?

@seegsGAP @RadioMacdonald Mink is wildly overrated. Great conditions, awesome club house but the actual course isn’t that good.
False hype. PGA won’t be great there either

@4o4FinalBoss @Dougie_AXP @PHILLYmynothome @PhilaFanCentral @Eagles I love these wish they’d do this over the awful white jersey black pants
English

@Dougie_AXP @PHILLYmynothome @PhilaFanCentral @Eagles Black on white looked great, but the black pants is too much and doesn’t look good at all imo. The blackout era is getting ridiculous. Too many teams trying to do it and it rarely looks good.

@MostlyEagles Nah we got timeless jerseys. I hate these sloppy redesigns that need to be redone every 5 years.
English

Whatever happens we are WAY overdue for a uniform overhaul

I propose the eagles make Kelly green their primary color again. You can still have a midnight green and black alt, but make the proper green primary.

@NFL_DovKleiman Tom Brady never even looked like that during his playing days tbh 😂
English

@scottler424 @MonsieurPhilly @MostlyEagles 2015 was an average season by many franchises standards which says a lot
English

@MonsieurPhilly @MostlyEagles Truly terrible? 2020 and 2012 I assume? 2015 sucked too but at least we beat Drew Brees AND Tom Brady lol
English

@jcrawdad @sterlingbrink @PrinceOfFlint They haven’t changed their products or branding as much as some others tho
English

@sterlingbrink @PrinceOfFlint Had Garrett and Grant before Callaway signed Good Good, and they currently have Evan Thompson and DOD King.

@EaglesNest2910 @WesSteinberg Because he is available for the right price
English

@WesSteinberg This is all Howie’s fault. He has created a circus around AJ Brown, instead of just saying that he’s unavailable!!!! Smmfh

We’re hitting drivers off of a down slope and still can’t get one to come out low.

@HopeRising19 @DominguezH31015 He looked pretty normal and lucid answering the rest of the questions

@DominguezH31015 I know Parkinson's Disease well. I watched my dad fight it for fifteen years. Clinton's hands, the way he holds the paper, the large movement tremor, and the way his wrist continues to tremor when he crosses his arms. The stiff facial affect. I see Parkinson's Disease.
