Pat McAfee was at the Jazz game the night before college gameday. When he was put on the big screen, there were more boos than cheers. Not sure the dude is as well liked as he thinks he is.

I learned today you can add “-ai” to the end of Google searches to remove the AI overview. It’s amazing.

With the amount of injuries today, I’m reminded of when I worked for the 33rd team. The doctor we had on weekly calls talked about how NFL injuries usually peak at 2-3 weeks after workloads increased. They noted that when players stopped playing in preseason, this got pushed to the regular season.

Between being an FSU and a broncos fan, not sure I got a lot of good football ahead of me this season

A power outage at game time is the most on the nose description of the current state of this FSU football program

Time to let Florida State football determine how my evening goes

If Morgan Rodgers had to score against Arsenal, so did Kai Havertz against Chelsea

Being an Aston Villa fan has to be miserable

I’m the idiot that just realized I put the wrong Sangare in my FPL team (Disregard the stupid Sarr start when he wasn’t even in the team)

Just did my home league draft, roast my team. I really screwed up with RB, and let it get too late before I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Oh well

I’m home

Thought about going to the Utah Championship KFT event this weekend, then I checked the weather. Never mind.

What goes up must go down

One of the best parts of my job is there is a driving range and putting green 4 minutes away so I can easily escape to play golf on my lunch break

R3 3M Open weather and hole locations: Good weather should help course open up a bit. Here’s my predictions for tomorrow: -1.4 average score 4.3 birdie or better average 2.3 bogey or worse average

Course played much easier in the morning than I expected as the wind didn’t arrive until later in the day, which made my scoring and bogey prediction off Actual results: ❌-1.10 average score to par ✅3.97 biride or better average ❌2.57 bogey or worse average

There are few things more frustrating than trying to get to work with a marathon going on in the city

R2 3M Open weather and hole locations: Difficult to predict how the course plays tomorrow since the course played uncharacteristically difficult tomorrow. Here’s my guess -0.8 scoring avg 3.9 birdie or bettter avg 2.8 bogey or worse avg

Course played much more difficult than I expected, and the birdies were just not there to be found Actual results: ❌-0.93 avg score to par ❌4.0 birdie or better average ❌2.67 bogey or worse average

R1 3M Open weather and hole locations My predictions: -2.4 to par scoring average 4.80 birdie or better 2.2 bogey or worse

I don’t like that bluesky became the official app of baseball after the World Cup ended

One time a random person I played with gave me a free Odyssey putter becuase they had an extra they didn’t know what to do with it So yeah, playing with randoms can be fun

I’ve managed 50+ part time employees in hospitality the last 5 years and have personally worked in hospitality for the last 15 years. The employees are not getting worse, the guests are.

Somehow this was not sustainable. Who could have guessed

Lamine Yamal can’t pull a Ryan Fox and win it with the last touch of the game

Damn, red card for Enzo Fernandez. Couldn’t happen to a worse person.

Rory gaining twice as many strokes off the tee as any other golfer, yet not being able to finish in the top 20 is insane

I appreciate that the Open app uses more descriptive terms than just “unknown” for errant shots because I got a good chuckle out of seeing that DeChambeu hit it into “trees”

Weather and hole locations for R4 of the Genesis Scottish Open. The course opened up for round 3 and played the easiest of any day so far. My predictions: -0.4 average score 3.3 birdie or bettter average 2.9 bogeys or worse average

Course played much easier than I expected before it was called early for fog. Actual results: ❌-0.65 average strokes ❌ 3.65 birdies or better avg ❌ 2.85 bogeys or worse avg

Weather and hole locations for R3 of the Genesis Scottish Open. Much more difficult weather tomorrow, but the course could play softer with some rain. There is no clear advantage to AM or PM My predictions: +0.2 average score 3.20 birdies or better 3.60 bogeys or worse

Nearly got it perfectly, here’s the actual results from R2: 🎯 0.96 stroke AM advantage 🎯 -0.26 stroke average 🎯3.55 birdie or better average 🎯3.08 bogey or worse average

If Jon Rahm was playing on the PGA Tour this last year, I wonder if he would have had a better season that Scottie Scheffler Scottie isn’t having a bad season, but he’s leaving the door open on the “best current golfer” argument

Weather and hole locations for R2 of the Genesis Scottish Open There is a strong AM wave advantage, which could be almost an entire stroke advantage Predictions: -0.3 average strokes 3.65 birdies or better 3.15 bogeys or worse

With two events this week, and two next week, one of which is a major, now is a great time to join the golf chat.

I’ve seen enough, VAR makes soccer worse

Sometimes I get frustrated how easy professional golfers make it look. Then I saw that 10 professional golfers have hit 4 GIR in a round at Muirfield Village Golf Course over the last 3 years and I feel better

Been a little bit since my model got a winner, but it got Henley this last weekend 🎯 Of course of the golfers my model produced, I chose Fowler as my one and done

KAI FUCKING HAVERTZ!!!

Folks. We finally went and did the damn thing. Welcome. regulargolfclub.com/2026/05/20/h...

Sometimes I have 20+ minute phone calls with customers who need help with purchasing items on our website. It usually is people who want to be on the phone the entire time because they want everything explained. I honestly don’t understand how people like this function in society.

ARSENAL FANS, REJOICE 🏆

10 years ago, a security guard let me past to take a picture with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the MLS all Star game. He signed my jersey and that night I woke up multiple times and checked my jersey because it didn’t feel real. I’ve had that same unreal feeling for the last 24 hours.

I don’t know how I’m supposed to continue working now that Arsenal won the league

ARSENAL ARE THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 22 YEARS BEVEL THOSE GUNNERS!!!

The local ice cream places have all started putting a limit of 2 samples per customer and I think I need to move

Ludvig Aberg. His approach play has been on another level, which has led to four top 5 finishes in his last six tournaments

Might be an unpopular opinion but the PGA tour would have been better taking a break this weekend before the gauntlet of tournaments the next two months than squeezing the Cadillac Championship in this week

So is dynasty fantasy football dead? There’s always an offseason drop off, but even my most active leagues are struggling to get going after the draft.
