Makes sense that on a day where there's a UFO whistle blower all anyone can talk about is $3500 porn goggles.


The 3500 what??? :lol:

Tiger Woods turned down 800M to join LIV. Rory turned down hundreds of millions himself. And now they both look like absolute suckers.

This is ALWAYS where this was headed.

If I'm one of those golfers who turned town an island only to get sold out, I'm spinning off with like-minded top level golfers into a co-op tour. I am sure there are plenty of administrative folks from PGA who'd jump at the chance to join them and get everything organized.

I was just about to ask - somebody with billions to burn - couldn't they just do this all over again? Somebody starts a new golf league, shells out $5 billion to some premier golfers and a few billion to organize, then gets a piece of the PGA/LIV pie due to likely antitrust victory?

Yeah, Monahan REALLY steered into the ethics of it all in his ranting and raving at the start of all of this. Horrible look to cave, and especially so soon. Like, the LIV barely even happened (and it "happened" quite poorly TBH) and now it's over.

I tune in to some of the majors if I have a wager on it but that's about it. I enjoy watching pros play like **** sometimes because I play like **** all the time.

So… I haven’t post in awhile although still following the bucks of course.

I actually went to Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago! Unfortunately it was to give tech support to one of our costumers so I didn’t have a lot of time to sightsee but the weather was really nice and I enjoyed the architecture and the overall wisconsins calm landscapes (although the trip wasn’t as helpful as I hoped)

Is it normal that you have so few people in the streets downtown in the afternoon even when the weather is so nice? Compared to what I’m used to in Europe (or even to Chicago that is only 2h away). Is it a public transportation fault, lack of tourism or just culture?

Oh and it was funny for me being sincere about being a bucks fans and the people on the factory we visited just thought I was blowing smoke just to please them and not believing I was a bucks fan at all.

Most of the offices downtown are now WFH or WFH hybrid. I work downtown and have worked downtown off and on over the years, but am rarely there anymore. When I am in the office downtown is a very sparse now days.

I worked downtown in the US Bank building for a few years. That area never felt super busy or bustling to me on work days (pre-Covid at least). Was typically a ghost town when I'd get out of the office post-6pm as well. Kind of an odd vibe after now working in a couple of other cities.

Milwaukees downtown has always been a ghost town. Most of the commuters probably think leaving their office is gonna end up with them mugged. Bay view and the east side are typically much more happening areas right now.

Even Rory is speaking a whole lot differently now than he was in the past.

The Snuka episode of Dark Side of the Ring is good. They're all pretty good.
