@KevinRothWx Are these scattered storms going to continue all night or will these eventually clear?

⚾️☔️ Scattered showers and some storms around the general Chicago area. We’ll basically need a radar check right before first pitch to see if any of these are ticketed to go over the ballpark early. Overall forecast remains: pretty good shot of at least a delay. I thiiink they manage to play?

@notthefakeSVP @SethDavisHoops It’s not the dollar amounts that I have a problem with. The market will adjust to what these kids are actually worth. It’s the unlimited free agency with zero commitment and zero penalty. These kids need to sign contracts just like the pros do.

@SethDavisHoops Unlimited free agency and zero salary cap is a great plan? What professional sport operates this way?

Why? Do we set spending limits on any other industry? Let them spend what they want to spend.

@YourFriendKyle_ I agree, however these greens have tremendous slopes and they could be rolling 13+. It would depend on where you started on the green. There are places they could start you on those greens that would be nearly impossible to three putt from. Might be closer than you think.

This is the most ridiculous debate lmao. Yes, Augusta is hard. Yes, tournament conditions make it extremely hard. If you think for even a second that a SINGLE DIGIT handicap isn't winning the Masters starting on the green you are drunk.

@Mike_kim714 This is awesome. Thank you for your insight. Do you think Augusta will let it get tougher/firmer/faster or do you think we saw the edge today?

Augusta Diaries Thur: -Man, this course is haaarrddd haha. Personally, what I remember about watching the Masters as a kid are these runs of birdies coming in and the winner taking the trophy with birdies and eagles. But the other side is that the margins are so so tiny. The difference between a great shot and a horrible result is so so small. -Great ex is 3 today. You had to land a wedge in a 4 yard area to hit that green. I landed it too short and came off the green. Zach landed it a little too far and it’s over the green. Similar thing on 15, that green (especially being newer) is so firm, I didn’t hold the green landing the ball a foot past pin high. -The greens are quite firm but I never once thought it was out of control. It was a great set up and a set up with some really difficult pins. -Because the margins are so small, those little gusts have a profound effect on the results. A little off and you’re making bogey or double in a heartbeat.

@fried_egg_golf I got there at 7 this morning. Best part of the day was after the tournament finished. The course cleared out. I walked most of the course completely alone. Stood on 12 tee with just me a couple maintenance guys. Soon after the mens players started coming out for practice.

"Let’s start with the obvious: there is no bad time to be a patron at Augusta National. It is the most coveted ticket in all of sports. No other event has a yearly tradition where thousands mourn their ticket lottery rejection email. For the lucky patrons who get to make their way inside the gates, their time on the grounds becomes a pilgrimage of sorts, venturing into a spiritual experience for some. "You can count me as one of the lucky ones. I won the lottery back in 2017 and have had the privilege of covering the Augusta National Women’s Amateur the past four years. While it’s true that any time spent on the course is time well spent, I’d like to nominate early Saturday morning of the final round at ANWA as the best time to experience the course as a patron. Some may argue that you can’t beat Sunday at the Masters energy or the feel-good vibes of Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest, but in terms of seeing Augusta National, of taking in all it has to offer, the quiet and calm of the early hours at ANWA’s final round are unmatched." - @megadkins_TFE on why ANWA Saturday is the best time to see Augusta National

@SullenSerf No. But unlike the last two years I won’t be angry about it. Michigan is really good and I think we’ve overachieved in this years tournament. Just super happy to still be playing and have a chance at it.

Early thoughts. Does Tennessee beat Michigan?

@TheChadWithrow @DRVawl Update? It was a slow start, but a little early to make a call like this.

Tennessee can’t hit a layup and Nate Ament looks like a baby giraffe. It’s gonna be a long night for the Vols.

@Evan_Hand That’s not Augusta National’s logo

Which club has the best logo in golf? 🤔

@MoneylineMafia_ Please stop

GEORGIA -1.5 blowout winner. It this loses giving away $50 to someone who likes this post

@darrenrovell I cannot say this anymore disrespectfully. Shut the fuck up.

It’s that time of year when everyone talks about the Masters food as if its the greatest thing ever. Continues to be one of the weirdest annual behaviors in all of sport. And the next month, people pretend like the Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby is a Top 1,000 cocktail!

@Top100Rick It’s really not even that low of a shot. It’s more of a mental challenge than anything. And yes I’ve played the shot myself multiple times.

I LOVE this! Don’t want technology nerfed ever? Fine, let’s challenge them in other ways and see what happens. Justin Thomas was asked to hit it low. He failed. He paid a steep price. A pro golfer should be able to answer this question.

@RepJasmine Why are you still talking? No one cares about your opinion anymore. Please stfu.

While they were busy cutting SNAP and health care for working families, Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on King Crab, nearly $7 million on Lobster Tails, and nearly $100,000 on a Grand Piano in the month of September. This is where your taxpayer dollars are going. Isn’t this supposed to be the Administration that’s targeting “waste, fraud, and abuse”?!? Make it make sense.

@TheFreelyAshley Yes, because I’m a responsible and capable adult. Stop making excuses for irresponsible and stupid people.

Do you know where your birth certificate and/or marriage license is right now?

@100CoursesQuest It’s pretty standard. I live 20 mins from TPC Sawgrass and during The Players all golf courses in the area jack their prices way up and you still can’t get a tee time.

Paid $220 for a round at this par 3 course in Scottsdale last week during the WM Open. None of my friends at the Bach party golfed but were willing to try a par 3 course. May have turned them off completely from golf when they raised the price on us day of from $120 to $220. So note to the Twitter golf community - maybe don’t try and play golf during the biggest pro golf tournament of the year 🫠

@wesruckerTBA STFU

The only thing more powerful than hate is love. No one has to be an a-hole. It’s a choice.

@MichaelWBratton Nobody cares. Everyone does this now. There are no rules and the NCAA is powerless. Dabo is getting left behind.

Dabo Swinney calls out Pete Golding & Ole Miss for blatant tampering to get transfer LB Luke Ferrelli "Coach Golding texted him a picture of a $1 million contract. "Coach Golding had Trinidad Chambliss call him. "Ole Miss raised it's offer to 2-year, $2 million."

@ryanhallyall Would you expect travel issues in the Carolina’s and East Tennessee on Tuesday after all of this? Traveling on the main interstates, not back roads.

@adamlevitan @god I went heavy TE. McBride in the 1st. I also have Warren, Pitts, and Waller. I’m starting 3 TEs every week lol. Gotta love the TE 1.5 ppr.

Back on August 15, we did a $2200 buy-in FFPC draft. The YouTube commenters hated our team. Ended up making the playoffs. And we currently sit in 8th out of 4260 who started. It’s $1m to first. Please @god.

@AnalogLinda @GOP Then run on that. Own what you said. Run on the idea of taking Nashville back to what it used to be. You can’t just pretend like there isn’t a recording of it. She has zero credibility now.

@GOP A friend lives outside of Nashville and he hates what it has become. He said it is obnoxious. And he’s a musician and loves music. The dislike isn’t about the music.

Tennessee Democrat Aftyn Behn, who is running to represent Nashville in Congress, is desperately trying to walk back her Music City-hating comments. This is next-level gaslighting.

@adamlevitan Tucker is the only playable option
