You're right ... I did forgot to consider the 70's.  Let me revise:

If I had to vote now, I think I'd take a coin and put Joe Montana's face on one side and Tom Brady's on the other, and Jim Plunkett's face on the other other ... and flip it.  I couldn't go wrong.

BTW, in the sub-argument that we were previously having of Peyton vs. Brady, I feel like I could tie it to golf fairly well.  Like majors, the pinnacle of the sport is the Super Bowl, but everything else also matters.  In fact, somewhat unlike golf, you could argue that everything else (stats) matters quite a bit more due to the nature of it being a team sport.  So you can't say 4>1 and wipe your hands clean, but you certainly can say that 4 + slightly less in the regular season stats department > 1 + slightly more in the regular season stats department.

No offense, but I think even Jim Plunkett's high school yearbook picture was afraid to display Jim Plunkett's face on it :-D

LOL.  No offense taken because I was just making a silly joke at Erik's expense. :)

Me too... Sometimes I just can't help myself (though this one was at Plunkett's expense. I'm sure he's heard worse!)

I liked Plunkett, but he was the only player I remember whose face seemed to stick way out of the helmet!

As opposed to Hauschka (Seahawk's kicker), who wears his helmet so far down on his forehead that he looks like Robocop.

I miss the days (not really) when the kickers andn some of the QBs used to just wear that tiny single bar facemask. :-P

    • Day 567, May 22, 2024 Back yard work, reflections in the windows work. 6I. Mizuno.
    • So far as I can tell, he's talking about how the distance from ball to hole on the ground does not line up with the distance from eyes to hole on the ground - that's gotta go down the longest line of the triangle. So 9 feet away on the ground is about 10.8 feet away (if your eyes are 6 feet off the ground). 3 feet away and you're 6.7 feet away. 3 feet should be 1/3 of the break as 9 feet, but your finger measure is really 6.7/10.8, which is roughly double the measure.  But outside of 9 feet, as he shows in his chart it makes barely a lick of difference. I can't tell the difference between 2% and 2.2%, so 9 feet and 15 feet are pretty much the same. Inside of 9 feet, where it starts making more of a difference, the using the lower lip for the start of your finger measure is pretty close to being about right anyway. That might start to break down if you have a 4% slope and you're 3 feet away, but that's basically unpinnable and not something you're going to come across unless you're playing in some sort of greenkeeper's revenge event. Then all bets are off anyway. AE is designed to be pretty darn close to what the real number is. It has some flexibility in it (the bend of your elbow for example) to iron out some of the stuff that won't quite line up exactly right like green speeds, uphill vs downhill etc. 
    • Havent used it much yet but the thing i liked is that you can enter launch monitor data into it and preview courses with your shot patterns
    • Always give you something that can give you feedback. The brain works by slowly rewiring neural pathways that by doing a comparison between what you were doing before to what you need to do. 
    • My practice green has 2% slope across a lot of it and 9 foot putt with 2% slope is nowhere near 27" of break. It's like half of that. I'll measure it myself tomorrow. I also don't really understand what point you're trying to make, are you trying to say that the green reading system that is used by like tens of thousands of golfers including plenty of tour players and caddies is incorrect and I'm supposed to believe that based on a couple lines you typed in a spreadsheet? I don't get the whole eye height vs ball height thing. You mean to tell me you actually laid on the green at ball height and measured with your fingers?
