There are some serious babies who play this game. This happened to me yesterday, and it wasn't at Golf Smith, but I guess this is a good place to post it. I'm playing a round with my Dad and they pair us up with a couple of heavy set guys who are a bit obnoxious. We get to the 9th tee and we finally catch up with the group in front of us, a foursome of guys all aged 50 I guess, or so it seemed from a distance.

We can see one guy from their group is taking his sweet time walking off the green. I'm getting a bit annoyed, but I notice that there is something in the way he's walking that says he may be handicapped. Meanwhile, over my shoulder, I hear one of the two other guys in my group yell "HEY AS*HOLE! LET'S GO!!"

Wow, was I embarrassed. I finish up that hole pretty quickly so I can get to the turn and get a bottle of water at the halfway house where I run into that group ahead of us. They were really nice to me and let our group play through. Turns out, the guy walking so slowly is an Iraq War veteran who was playing a round with his Dad and his Dad's friends. He was playing with a prosthetic leg, which obviously slowed him. The two idiots we were playing with didn't say a thing. They just went about their business and played through.

There are just some people in this world who have absolutely no respect for their fellow man....

yes it has..

So, what happened? Your story is worse than mine.

I believe that golf sometimes attracks a certain kind of guy. An a-hole. I was on the "golf review" forum and some guy posts a thread, "How do you mark your ball?" This one guy replies, "I was at the golf course the other day when we let this single hook up with my 3-some. He asked how we mark our ball, and I told him, "shut the F up and just hit the f'n ball. I don't care how you mark your ball." I would have left them right there. Some guys are so insecure it comes out as trying to be an a-hole.

      True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context.

      2025 NFL Draft

      I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

      2025 NFL Draft

      Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.

If they get on next year, then they will get one the year after. If they get to 6, it might be a record never broken. They already hold the record.
