Been a Dolphin fan as long as I can remember, but I think I’ve had enough, the organization is an utter failure, look at these players, haven’t won a game, not even 200 yds of offence, and look at them celebrating, you’d think they just won the Super Bowl…..had enough!

In so many ways this is the worst golf ad I’ve ever seen, @CallawayGolf you should be embarrassed that this ad was approved by your marketing team and whoever else saw it before launch and nobody could see it was a terrible idea!
Ah man, someone must have accidentally deleted the post. Don’t worry Good Good, I’ll reupload your @CallawayGolf ad!

I think we need improvement in the GM position, where we went massively wrong was Bowman letting Holloway, Broberg, C Brown, McLeod and Fogle go, and he hasn’t found one better replacement for any of them!
"We're looking for improvement in that area." Stan Bowman evaluates the Oilers’ goaltending this season.

Nope, too contrived!
Do you like railroad ties that line the face of a bunker?

Agreed, not in the spirit of the game, the officials can’t see every incident but why can’t off pitch officials watch & signal the ref so they can issue yellow/red cards after the incident. Eventually the players will realise they can’t get away with it & they’ll stop doing it.
Harry Maguire pretending to be kicked in the head when he isn’t touched at all, David Raya pretending to have been launched to the floor when he isn’t touched at all…surely the time has come to retrospectively ban this sort of play acting/cheating? Pathetic and awful to watch.

I’ve hit 4 iron there! It’s crazy when the wind is howling!
5-iron from 106 yards 😮 @XSchauffele and @AkshayBhatia_1 control their @CallawayGolf Chrome Tour ball at the par-3 seventh @ATTProAm.

Total non factor, rarely touched the puck! Overpaying salary and term, he’s not a difference making, we need goaltending
To me he’s 3 million dollar player when healthy. That number goes down with 8 years, not up. This would be very interesting. Benefit of doubt with the injury but he was a non factor in the playoffs.

Sitting on the bench waiting for a chance, they badly mismanaged him all year IMO, should have had him on the left side with 97, probably scores 40+
Where was this Jeff Skinner all year?

If you trade goaltenders in the finals, the Oilers win the cup! Skinner has moments but he’s just too inconsistent, the third goal last night is a play I’ve never seen before, just awful

If……but he didn’t, I agree 66 was awesome, but part of sports is injuries, he’s behind both of them, full stop!
#Penguins Gretzky & Ovi average .60 goals/game in their career. Mario averaged .75 goals/game in his career. 99 & 8 played 572 more games than 66. If 66 played those extra games at his average he'd have 429 more goals giving him 1,119 goals! 224 ahead of both 99 & 8 @Steigerworld

Brookside #1 in Pasadena, not sure today’s GF, but it’s a terrific track!
Lots of chatter about high-priced green fees recently (rightfully so) - but quality #golf isn’t always expensive. Here’s my ‘Most Intriguing Under $100’ (among U.S. courses I’ve played/want to play). If I’m missing something good, put me on. List = Max Green Fee, Walking Rate

Absolutely spot on @GadSaad what’s even worse is the revenue from all these taxes never seems to go towards improving our lives, Canada is no longer a safe country, the medical system is broken, roads and bridges falling apart…..just where is all the money going?
A genuine set of questions for @MarkJCarney and @PierrePoilievre: What is the limit of the extent to which the government can confiscate our hard-earned money? Our income is taxed provincially and federally at one of the highest rates in the world. We then pay sales tax on what we spend both provincially and federally. We also pay property tax, school tax, exit tax, and endless other forms of taxation. The taxation oversight and burden is simply astounding. And yet we know that countless people in the political class find ways to avoid paying taxes. Is a human being a free individual if 50%-70% of their earnings are taxed? What are the philosophical and moral principles that animate your right to steal our financial future, our peace of mind, and the fruits of our labor to such an extent? Every time that I work hard to be a productive member of society (in my case by being a professor and author), I end up at the same financial place (if not worse) because my taxation burden keeps increasing. I can't escape Canada's taxation system even when most of my income comes from outside of the country. Is there no sense of shame? When does it become too much in terms of what you take from your most productive citizens? I am being fully transparent here: There is nothing that has traumatized me more in my life than the taxation that I face, and I faced the Lebanese civil war.

You’ve got to be kidding me, 99 put Edm on the world map, nobody outside of Canada knew anything about Edm until 99 and the Oilers dynasty. DEI only seems to apply if everyone follows the narrative, let’s tone down the rhetoric folks, last I checked it’s still a free country
A petition to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive in Edmonton has gathered over 11,000 signatures, questioning his loyalty to Canada. Suggested alternatives include Terry Fox Drive and Joey Moss Drive.

Is this even possible? Almost 63 holes a day…..everyday without fail, weather, health, life….

I’m with you, was lucky enough to live in SD right near Torrey for 4 years and played there once or twice a week, North and South, this was the old clubhouse & starter booth, it’s a special place, came down 18 so many times at dusk….just love the place, can’t wait to get back!
Thoughts from Genesis (Torrey pt 2) -Whenever I play here, there’s a wave of gratitude and a feeling of accomplishment. I grew up 10min away, Torrey was my home course, and watched Tiger win many many times at Torrey Pines. This is where I grew my dreams as a pro golfer. -Happy to finish T-13 at a signature event. These tournaments actually do have most of the top 10 golfers in the world (lol) and I’m happy with the way I plotted my way around the course especially that first day. There were parts of my game that were up and down each day but that’s golf. Also glad that I didn’t let the t2 finish from last week get me complacent. The cut was prob a big help with that -Golf is funny game. I shot +10 to miss the cut by a mile three weeks ago but played well this week at the same course. What changed? Some confidence for sure, some short game, but I never felt like I was super off my game even when I shot +10 🤷🏻‍♂️ -Ludvig is a stud (duh) but so is Maverick. -It’s a weird feeling during Tue and wed when the field is so small. The range and course isn’t at all crowded but everywhere you look is a top 50 player in the world. You def get a sense that this is a really big tournament. -Had a terrible warm up on Sunday morning but ended up finding a score which I’m super proud of and something I couldn’t have done in the past. I had some adjustments off the tee that worked well and short game and putting stepped up when I needed it. -Off to a great start but I have to keep going because I really want to keep playing in these signature events. Onto VidantaWorld!

These are all reasonable questions that any competent person responsible for overseeing a business should be able to easily answer. If your business gets an annual audit you’re faced with these questions every year. Her responses trigger immediate red flags of impropriety
This is what we’re dealing with everywhere in government

Eddie was a genius, love hearing a bands version of another bands great tune, they often don’t work, but I think Eddie nails it!
Van Halen covering "Won’t Get Fooled Again" by The Who inside the 5150 studio. Eddie was just such a badass. This version is simply awesome.
