@KylePorterNS As a football reference, this is more akin to Bill Belichick exploiting a rule loophole against the Jets in 2019 to bleed time off the clock. Don't blame the person that uses rules to benefit themselves. Blame the people that make the rules that allow it.

I realize golf people who know a lot more about the game than I do will disagree with this (and I'm sure there are 100 reasons I'm wrong about it), but it remains *insane* to me that a ball hit into deep rough off the tee can then be hit from a clean lie in the fairway. "Well we know the QB's knee was technically down, but because he slipped on some paint from the logo at midfield, we're going to let you replay the down."

@TermineRadio Well it was his favorite season of his career so this actually tracks

Very strange to see someone seeking the spotlight and dancing in public just two weeks after underperforming and blowing a 3-1 series lead as the favorite.

@LouStagner Removing trees from a golf course is a design choice. It creates a different style of play. If you don't like that style don't play it.

Removing most trees from a golf course is dumb. Golf is harder when there is something in the way. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want every hole tree-lined on both sides. Not even close. Trees force different decisions. Trees force different shot shapes. Trees force strategic play. I get that less trees can make the turf healthier…. But essentially clear cutting trees from a course is idiotic.

@Mericamemed No one cares what you're gonna watch or not. Just do it or don't, and shut the fuck up about it or do you just really need the attention that much?

At this point, instead of watching Odyssey, I'm gonna rewatch Troy

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS You forgot they move up a tee box or two.

Fairways are effectively 10 yards wider when you’re 50 yards shorter. They didn’t get more accurate

@BraedenSorbo @pick_six22 Ah yes... Finding Christ means all that sin stops right? Or does it really mean you just keep doing the sin and feel good about because you can say "I'm sorry" to the magic man in the sky?

@pick_six22 On Mother’s Day is insane. Find Christ.

I cheated on all my girls since elementary school my boy. Fuck you mean

@TaraBull The restaurant should pay them more and not leave their livelihood to the hands of patrons and we can all just eliminate the tip system?

"If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to dine out." Thoughts?

@DanKelley66 @maxkellerman Which is really an indictment on us more than them is it not?

Agree with most of what @maxkellerman is saying, but if families of those involved are unnecessary suffer by it continuing to stay in the news, those at the center of the controversy deserve most of the blame. We live in a "Real Housewives" society.

@billsperos Of course he did. You've never lied about any situation to save yourself and your family extreme public embarrassment? Yes you're a beacon of light and honor in all facets of your life right?

Vrabel called this "laughable" That was both a threat and a denial He's a bully used to getting his way in life and work "Laughable" was a warning to anyone who believed those photos portrayed what they indeed portrayed had better back off Sadly, too many in media did just that But the story lives For those who think there is NO/0.0% chance he will be gone ... you can still get guaranteed 22% return on your money 💰 on @Kalshi - It remains legal in the Commonwealth for those over 18

@Freedom4Brits @hxxntrr You are completely free to pay cash for everything.

You can take a quarter million dollars from American banks, move to Bali, and live like a king for 3 years on $4,000 a month while the banks send you angry letters to an address you don't live at anymore And the craziest part? Not a single thing about this is a criminal offense $250K liquidated from 0% business credit cards through Melio and Plastiq into your business checking account. Processing fees: about $7,125 at 2.85%. Now you have $242,875 in cash sitting in your bank Average cost of living in Bali for a baller lifestyle (private villa, scooter, eating out every meal, coworking space, weekend trips to other islands): $3,500 to $4,500/month. Call it $4,000 $242,875 / $4,000 = 60 months. 5 years of living in paradise on bank money "They'll come after you" Here's what they can actually do: They can call you. Your US phone number is cancelled. You have a local Indonesian SIM card. Good luck They can mail you. To the US address on file. You moved 9,000 miles away. The letters pile up in a mailbox nobody checks They can report to credit bureaus. Yes. Your US credit score gets destroyed. But you're living in a country where nobody checks a FICO score. Indonesian landlords don't pull Equifax. The villa owner wants cash They can sue you. In a US court. For a civil judgment on unsecured credit card debt. If you don't show up (because you're in Bali), they get a default judgment. That judgment lets them garnish US wages (you have none) and levy US bank accounts (you moved your money to a Wise or Mercury account that you access internationally) They cannot have you arrested. Not paying a credit card is not a crime. It's a civil debt. There is no international arrest warrant for credit card default. Interpol does not care about your Chase Ink bill. The US embassy in Bali does not care. Nobody cares After 7 years from the date of first delinquency, every account falls off your credit report automatically per the FCRA. You come back to the US with a clean file. Rebuild your score in 90 days with the authorized user strategy. Stack another round of business credit. The banks have no memory. Their systems only look back 7 years "But the personal guarantee" Business credit cards with a personal guarantee make you personally liable for the debt. That means they can pursue you personally in civil court. But the judgment is still civil. Still not criminal. And enforcement of a US civil judgment in Indonesia is... let's just say it's not something that happens. Indonesia does not have a treaty with the United States for enforcement of civil money judgments. The collector would have to re-litigate the entire case in Indonesian court. For a $250K credit card bill. They will never do this Here's what people are actually doing: The digital nomads who figured this out aren't even running from debt. They're running profitable online businesses from Bali while the 0% promo runs out, cycling to new cards remotely (you can apply for US business credit cards with a US address and US SSN from anywhere on earth), and paying off the old cards with business revenue. The ones who can't make the business work just... don't pay. And life goes on A guy I know moved to Lisbon in 2023 with $180K in 0% business credit. Lived on $3,800/month for 18 months while building a marketing agency. Agency hit $22K/month by month 14. Paid every card off from revenue. Never missed the US once. Still lives in Lisbon. Still uses the same credit cards. Still at 0% on his current cycle He didn't need to default. But he had the option. And knowing the option existed let him take the risk. The mental math changes completely when you understand that the worst case scenario for $250K in credit card debt is "my credit score sucks for a few years and I settle for pennies" People mortgage their lives around a number on a credit report. They stay in jobs they hate. They live in cities they can't afford. They say no to opportunities because "what if I can't make the payment." Meanwhile the bank that issued the card has already priced your default into their quarterly earnings. They don't care if you pay. They've already hedged it The bank made a bet. They bet you'd carry a balance and pay 24% interest for a decade. You took their money and moved to Bali. One of you is going to lose that bet Am I telling you to flee the country with $250K? No. I'm telling you the actual legal consequences of credit card default, which are dramatically less severe than what most Americans have been led to believe. And I'm telling you that understanding those consequences changes how you evaluate risk, opportunity, and what you're willing to do with a 12-month window of free capital every financial decision you've ever made was based on a fear that doesn't match the legal reality. that fear is profitable for banks. it's expensive for you do with this information what you will (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. where you take the money is your business. link in bio)

@Tonysmarkettips I have morals enough to not try to enrich myself and my social media status off of the pain of two different families. It's time you mind your own business.

@silver_fawx You have interesting morals, then

It's possible Mike Vrabel had an incentive in his contract for winning COTY. Coach contracts aren't as public as player contracts. Since Dianna Russini had a COTY vote, this is a question the media should be asking: Did Vrabel make money from his COTY award like Josh Allen did ($1.5M) from his MVP award when Dianna Russin told him she'd vote for him.

@sethraynorr @BigSwingTempo This!

@BigSwingTempo OEMs need to choose some club. They aren't going to send a full set of fitting heads plus every shaft, in multiple lengths for each club, 7+ times. That's completely unrealistic

Why do they use 7 iron when you get custom fittings? Shouldn’t they use the iron you’re most comfortable with?

@BreidenFehoko Are you fucking insane?

Just trynna figure out why Mike Vrabel ain’t getting dragged on public media outlets like they did Sherrone Moore?

@lady_valor_07 Danny Devito

@jemelehill @TheAtlantic Y'all are weird and it sucks. You know what sucks the most? The shit all of the people in both families connected to this mess have to deal with because of y'all. It's just gross.

I wrote this a couple weeks ago for @TheAtlantic, the Patriots are fooling themselves if they think this story is just going to go away. Now that it’s crossed over into tabloid territory, they’re not only going to be digging through the crates, but following his every move from here on out theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

@jondelarroz Don't even bother watching it or even commenting on it if it's gonna be so bad.

I've read The Odyssey in multiple translations. It is one of the greatest works of literature ever produced by a human being, a 2,800-year-old story about a man who wants to go home and can't, and it has never needed help being relatable. Nolan handed it to Emily Wilson, whose translation of Homer features "tote bag," "pep talk," and "canapés." He ADMITTED he used her work. The result on screen: Robert Pattinson telling Tom Holland he's "pining for a daddy you didn't even know." Wilson's argument is that Homer didn't sound archaic to the Greeks, so she modernized the language. That's completely backwards. Homer's Greek was the elevated formal register reserved for gods and heroes. "Daddy" is not the American equivalent of Homeric poetic diction. It's what a screenwriter writes when they don't trust the audience to handle anything older than last Tuesday. The Laestrygonians, Bronze Age cannibal giants, show up in medieval plate armor that wouldn't be invented for another 2,400 years. Lupita Nyong'o is rumored as Helen of Troy. This is what happens when Hollywood decides that a masterpiece needs to be fixed. Does this film have any chance of being good?

@msully5433 Dude everyone on earth is laughing at this dude right now.

We gotta cut their mics at this point

@msully5433 It's really fucking weird man

My goodness you people are weirdly obsessed with this huh? Whats the reasoning for him to NOT be coaching Wk 1 hmm? He cheated. He didn’t abuse anyone or physically hurt anyone. You people need to find something else to talk about.

@FastbreakHoops5 No net and it's not close.

Which is the worst in your opinion?
