Nick Underhill took the ultimate gamble when he ditched a lucrative job at The Athletic in 2020 and returned to New Orleans to create a killer website focusing on the Saints. Now, he's got big plans. After Draft Day, he'll get a haircut. open.substack.com/pub/peterfinne…

Deacon W. Gerard Gautrau has chronic back pain that won't allow him to stand at length, but his new telephone ministry – the "Gentle Servant Line" – is providing compassion from his recliner.

@flushingitgolf @TheMasters It was absolutely a fair question. He admitted a few minutes earlier he left shots on the course on the “second” (back) nine. I think he’s letting Brandel’s armchair swing analysis of his “slump” get to him. He scared a 62 today he was playing so well. Fair question.

Reporter: “That was a 65 today. What did it feel like it could have or should have been?”
Scottie Scheffler: “That's a terrible question. Next question. Awful.”

@nick_underhill @MikeTriplett I’m convinced they will never move down. But I’ve always held that moving up is usually fool’s gold. The law of averages tells you great players exist even down the line. Giving up those picks means you never get a chance to know how great they would be. Belichick wanted + picks!

"For some reason, Augusta always brought out the best in me.”

@chicagocatholic In New Orleans, for reasons no one really knows, it’s the nine-church walk.
English

As you spend time with the Lord after the Mass of the Lord's Super tonight, consider stopping by another church before you go home. You'll be part of a longstanding tradition. chicagocatholic.com/web/chicago-ca…

As his wife Jan slipped away in 2008 from a decades-long battle with cancer, Robert Brantley asked her if she remembered when they had argued. Jan's answer said it all.

The computerized car can do almost anything except toast bread - perhaps that is coming in the next update - but New Orleans’ potholes are a PhD test for Elon Musk.

@WerderEdNFL @townbrad So sorry, Ed. Prayers for your family.

When the bathroom scale consistently lies, take a stroll. A daily walk in City Park is a great way to stay in shape – and also to pick up a few (hundred) golf balls. Read about my Golf-Ball OCD.

@ScottDKushner @James_HamNBA @CoachHymn The best comeback whenever an athlete dismisses a reporter for not having “played the game”: “I’m not be a watchmaker, but I know when a watch doesn’t tell the correct time.”
English

@James_HamNBA @CoachHymn It is a vicious cycle. When media is critical, the teams and players restrict access, which then pushes the media even further from what’s really happening, and makes the reporting even more worse, which restricts access even more. It’s impossible to really know players or teams.
English

@NOLAJake Whenever a player ridicules someone in the media for not having played the game, my go-to response is: I may not be a watchmaker, but I can tell if the watch keeps correct time.

This was an excellent read on media in the current NBA landscape

Had some thoughts on the Westbrook conversations, so I wrote them up real quick. At the substack, link below.

@NBA_NewYork The perfect comeback in these situations: “I’m not a watchmaker, but I do know when a watch doesn’t keep correct time.”
