Hello friends

@lunz71 @AlanShipnuck Yes

@AlanShipnuck are you staying out loud that it was a suicide attempt?

Re-upping what I wrote about Tiger in my 2023 book "LIV and Let Die": On February 23, 2021, something dark visited Tiger Woods. He was in southern California, having just served as the ceremonial host of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club while recovering from yet another back surgery. On that fateful Tuesday morning, he had to be up early to film some content for Golf Digest at Rolling Hills Country Club. Woods was traveling east on a hilly, winding portion of Hawthorne Boulevard in Palos Verdes; the street curved right but he went dead straight, plowing through the median, careening across the two oncoming lanes of traffic, hopping a curb, knocking down a wooden sign, plunging down an embankment, and smashing into a tree. “There were several rollovers during that process,” said Los Angeles County sheriff Alex Villanueva. Two days earlier, Woods had made a cameo in CBS’s eighteenth-hole tower, sending shock waves through golf Twitter with his glassy eyes, bloated face, and slurred speech, particularly troubling signs given his previous treatment for an addiction to painkillers. In the wake of the crash, he steadfastly refused to fill in any details, batting away questions by saying, “It’s all in the police report.” Indeed it is: at the time of the crash he was traveling an estimated eighty-four to eighty-seven miles per hour, more than double the speed limit in the residential area. The most troubling detail? The car’s black box revealed that Woods had kept stepping on the accelerator throughout the crash and that the pressure applied to the pedal had remained at 99 percent. That could not have happened if he had fallen asleep at the wheel or been momentarily distracted by his phone.

@shanetroach travel.

Pure love of the game.

Adam Morrison That guy rocked.

@TrojanPoobah @GiftedStorm3737 @AdamFerrellNFL There’s literally an East Chicago, Indiana

@GiftedStorm3737 @AdamFerrellNFL Except Chicago is in a different state, whereas SF & SC are in the same state. There’s no way Indiana lets them keep Chicago in the name.

REPORT: Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren has released a statement addressing a new team name as the organization takes a step closer to Indiana. “For more than a century, the Chicago Bears have represented tradition, toughness, and a deep connection to the city of Chicago and the Midwest region. As we continue to explore the opportunity of a new stadium development in the state of Indiana, we are committed to honoring both our historic roots and our future home. A regional name is at the forefront of these discussions and is not uncommon as we see with other World Championship franchises like the New England Patriots and Golden State Warriors. We understand how meaningful this team is to generations of fans. Any decision regarding our name or identity will be made thoughtfully, with respect for our heritage and the communities who have supported us for decades. The Bears remain committed to transparency as discussions continue, and we thank our fans for their passion and unwavering support.”

@robbiehendricks @Hambone1604 HUD will get you 80% @ 5% @ 1.15DSCR & 35 year am. Higher proceeds, higher cash flow. No balloon, so you can sleep great.

Fannie refi quote hot off the presses: $10M 65% LTV 5% fixed 5 yr term, FT I/O With 1.25 buydown: 4.73% fixed. Not bad. Currently at 3.65% fixed w/many years remaining, but could return an additional 30% of LP capital. Cash flow post refi well into the teens. Decisions.

@NataliaAntonova Legend

Dad had a heavy Ukrainian accent. He said funny things, like, “Why you make foolish me?” He opened our Charlotte house to all kinds. One week we’d host a battered woman, the next a Vietnam vet who needed a break. As a stupid kid, I’d get annoyed by dad’s generosity to others. I know better now. Dad loved history. He loved Lincoln and Jefferson. He loved art and took me to museums around the country. He volunteered a lot, but never called it volunteering. “I help out, not big deal.” One of his favorite places was the Great Smoky Mountains. He loved banjo music and would take me to mountain bars to hear obscure musicians play. He told ghost stories around the fire. Dad reliably cried on Memorial Day (but pretended he wasn’t crying), because Americans are encouraged to remember. His own wartime experiences he was told to forget. His favorite politician was John McCain. He told me once that he was sad to outlive him, but as it turned out, it didn’t take long for him to follow. One of the happiest days of dad’s life was the day he became an American citizen. He didn’t hide his tears that day. He would’ve been 72 today. When he was learning English, his favorite word became “remember.” Remember ❤️

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let teams start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion to draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years

@AnnaLeptikon Try owning an apartment building.

Somehow it was learning how many people are fulltime employed to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge that flipped something inside of me in my understanding of the entropic force civilization has to constantly fight against. Before that moment I thought — I had not applied real conscious thought — you simply build a building or anything really and then you just … have it. After that I understood everything is constantly at the brink of being lost.

@ohiotate @ArtButSports what ya got?

While they may be fierce competitors ON THE FIELD, some things are bigger than sports. Here is Mintzy helping Danny Boy Cane put on his shoe, as Danny has been dealing with soreness on the left of his back for more than a week. He was unable to walk as recently as Monday.

@BunkiePerkins Proof of life!!

@SWiltfong_ Lace em up, bud

A Purdue buddy of mine: “If Indiana wins a national championship in football before Purdue wins one in basketball I might go walk in traffic.”

@resetbasis Gotta do union, might as well do HUD

This game rules. Baseball is the best.

@PicturesFoIder Has to be @hopesolo

guess who?

@PurestVitality @DavidRachford @moseskagan That’s a direct contradiction to your “have kids when you’re 50” statement.

@DavidRachford @moseskagan Urges can be expressed in many ways; a father can bequeath many legacies: My selfishness is spending more time & energy with my kids than with my portfolio. I would have traded all the cash from my parents demise for more time with them. And I wish they could've met my kids.

Probably the most profound thing I've ever read about the tension between fatherhood and ambition. (Am only ~1/3 of the way through it, and East of Eden is already among the very best books I've ever read.)

@MichaelPDivita That false front was a crime against humanity

@Sbyrne_91 @leftyzag Here's another good Donny Ross from Detroit Golf Club.

@leftyzag I’m a sucker for Ross statues. This one is great

On the topic of Winged Foot, this statue celebrating the club’s centennial anniversary is one of my favorites anywhere. What are some other iconic statues and landmarks at clubs?
