Stenson is acting all surprised, indignant and pissed off about losing RC captaincy but didn't think of checking before signing up with LIV. That's either really dumb or he is fake raging.

Yes and no. He would have known the risk, and probably realised that that's why Liv were willing to offer him a lot of money. However he tried to  organise it such that his playing commitments wouldn't clash with his responsibilities as captain. Even still, he would have known that this would likely still not be enough, but did so in order that he could highlight that his being dropped was down to political/monopolistic reasons rather than logistical ones. 

I'd say both have a case to answer - golf fans will be the ultimate loser.

Good for Charles.  The detail that LIV didn't make him an offer is one thing, but my head canon for the situation is going to be that he was insulted by being paired with Sergio.  But for real, his gratitude for Turner NBA is nice to see.   Admittedly, I don't think I've ever watched a basketball game he called, but it's still nice to see.

I had to look him up.  After deleting the browser tab, I bleached my screen.    Seriously, a pudding strike?  And that’s almost funny compared to some of the other stuff.

Just saw a bunch of 911 protesters on the Golf Channel. They said none of the golfers would look them in the eye, and Trump said nobody knows who is responsible for the 911 attacks. I guess it  was just a coincidence that 15 out of 19 were Saudi. I guess the truth is defined by cash.

When you don't divorce your wife because the cutie you wanted to have an affair with wasn't interested.

Right, so he could have picked up the phone and asked instead of making assumptions - but IMO he didn't want to know the answer.

Where's the need to point it out? Of course it is 'political' and for the right reasons. Many have tried to accuse monopolistic reasons but it hasn't pass the smell test.

 Speaking for myself, don't care that much about Stenson, but in general, yes.  

 

Screw him. Screw them all.

I have no idea if this site is any good at all, so take it with a healthy dose of salt, but it made me chuckle:

Trump Club Uses Presidential Seal During Saudi-Backed Golf Tourney Despite Federal Law, Complaints to Justice Department

---

Trump's use of the presidential seal at his New Jersey golf resort continued during the Saudi-backed LIV tournament despite federal law and multiple complaints.

And, though it's about a politician, it's not political per se. Keep on the correct side of the line.

He’s done this for years, even in office.   You can’t use the seal of the Presidency like it’s somehow a part of your business ventures, or try to use it to sell stuff.   I think he has merchandise, or at least had, with the seal and that’s wrong too from what I know.  Don’t worry, I’m sure Greg Norman will set things straight….

In the time it took you to write those two posts you could’ve learned a useful new skill.
