Bradley one of the worst captains ever?

He's not out there hitting bad shots and missing putts. Do you think mixing the players up into different pairs would make them play better? I'm dubious :dontknow:

Omitting Patrick Reed was probably a mistake, in hindsight, but debating who gets left off happens every time when a team loses.

At a house with three TVs devoted to the Ryder and no one will let me turn on CFB.

They are looking at possibly getting blown out worse then any other team in Ryder Cup history. Bradley picked the team and had a big say in how the course was set up.

I guess it's easy to say he picked the wrong guys after the fact. Reed was about the only one who maybe should have been picked who wasn't. Previous members Spieth, Clark, Koepeka and Clark haven't played well this year. Sheffler has been horrible . Worlds #1 golfer. This was considered one of the strongest US teams. They just haven't played well. :dontknow:

Europe is just much better.

Some fans crossing the line. Happens every RC but I'd be in favor of a humbling beat down for some of the idiots.

Since moving in I've had a spare room where I just put **** in. Mostly my insane amount of spare electronics and cords. Spent the last couple nights organizing everything, adding some storage, and I bought a really nice sofa sleeper for guests. Decided that since I never watch TV or play videogames in bed I'm just moving the 2nd home theater to the spare bedroom. No idea what I'm gonna do with all the new space in the bedroom, but the spare room is sweet.

I've seen people referring to sports bets at Poto. I can simply make a bet on a win or a series win? Where do I go? How do I claim my bet? :lol:

Sorry I'm not a big better.

Bet on games. Lines usually go up the day before. Bet on a team or total points over/under. Also lots of individual prop bets. Players over/under points, rebounds, etc.

Futures bets are for the season. Team wins, NBA championship, MVP etc. They have virtually all sports around the globe.

They have betting kiosks 24/7. That's what I use. Some are on the third floor as you cross over the skywalk. Others are first floor near the sports book. Or ask any employee. Put money in, make your bet(s) and print the ticket (s).

They also have betting windows in the sports book on the first floor. Tell them the bets you want and they'll enter it and take your money, give you the tickets. Ticket window hours:

Mon.–Thur. 11 a.m.–11 p.m.
Friday 11 a.m.–12 a.m.
Saturday 8 a.m.–12 a.m.
Sunday 8 a.m.–11 p.m.

To cash out winning tickets take them to any cashier in the casino or to the betting windows. Or you can scan them at the kiosks and make bets with the winnings. You can't get cash back from the kiosks.

It's all the pretty easy once you do it a couple of times.

Okay guys… furiously planning a last minute trip to Greece starting Oct 13th. Going to be a short trip unfortunately as we only have a week.

We want more laid back trip but also want to see a few sites.

Itinerary is likely:
Arrive in Athens Monday 14th, connect to flight to Naxos.
3 nights in Naxos, ferry to Santorini.
2 nights in Santorini, fly back to Athens.
2 nights in Athens, fly back to states Monday 21st

Itinerary is not completely set in stone, but will likely stick to that framework.

Any suggestions on must-dos, where to stay, what to avoid? Giannis court is indeed on the list.

Quick FYI, aren't your dates off by 1 day (not that it really matters...)?

Me currently with the kids on their Disney kick and me refusing to do any of the new school live action bull ****.

Wife: You know who the Beast reminds me of? That blade runner guy.

Me: Oscar Pistorius?

Wife: Yeah, him.

Me: Maybe the Beast will shoot Belle through a bathroom door.

Wife: Why do you always have to go there?

Me: You knew what you were getting into.

Good idea but Lou Holtz? What a pull for Lefty.

Holtz is 88. Might as well get Hubie and Corso too.

Just absolutely destroyed the WNBA Commissioner. Just lit her up. What a presser.
