Jetsfan80 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 To add to my points about how other teams feel about the cheating, other teams ARE pissed at the Patriots. The evidence? It wasn't the league that discovered the cheating going on. It was the Rams, Jets and Bengals who turned the Patriots in. Also, the Colts asked the refs to inspect the footballs when Deflategate was discovered. The Ravens suspected it the previous week also. The league is sick and tired of the cheating Pats, and are tired of insulating them for the good of "the shield". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some think it's there to protect the game and it's integrity. I think it's to protect the Golden Geese of television money and gambling interests. Those are the two backbones of the league. If gamblers start to think it's not a level playing field, there is a big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to imagine the gambling piece has come into question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 @Thai Jet and @southparkcpa Just a quick (and sad) update. As usual, my short game has bit me in the a** once again. Missed the green on 165 yard par 3, meh chip and two putts for a bogey four, another sloppy bogey on the 17th. I need an eagle on the long par 5 finishing hole to break 80. I have the same chance of doing that as I have of a super model hitting on me in the clubhouse. ? Oh well, I should make some nice change with a low net score though. Big field, big pot.

Damn, sucks. Though its great to have a chance, that's something I know the feeling all too well, have had 40ish front 9s and ultimately one hole causes me to miss out on breaking that magic number. Getting closer so maybe Thursday.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting closer so maybe Thursday.... We used to play a game once in a while that was made for guys like you and me. It was low net and gross, but you got to throw out your highest hole on each nine. It seems like I always have one or two of those blowups, no matter how well I'm playing. BTW @southparkcpa and @JiF This new ghin system that took effect January 1 is crazy different. I play the Whites so I lost about one stroke today, but quite a few of the guys played the shorter Green tees. They lost 4 or 5. It was quite the scene when they saw their scorecards this morning. LOL The way it was explained to me was you have your Ghin hcp, let's say its a 14. The course is a par 72 but the Course Rating is a 70. Subtract the 70 from 72, that equals 2. subtract the 2 from 14, and that makes your playing handicap a 12 for the course. Under the old system, you'd get 14 or 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot a 91 Saturday. haven't shot a 90 something in a while. Gonna start practicing better. More wedge work, chipping, pitching etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant stop thinking about it.? Of course not, lol Got on in 3, but had about a 50 foot birdie putt. Naturally, I 3 putted for my third bogey in a row. I still shot 81 which is about as good as it gets for me, so I was really happy. I came in 2nd in my flight (($65) but the best part was there were only 3 skins with 140 players and I got one with a birdie on the 12th hole that paid $125.. Today was my best round since I got back down from Long Island after the Holidays. I've been struggling. 1 hour ago, southparkcpa said: Im with NUT, I post my scores and let the Ghin system do it.

More wedge work, chipping, pitching etc. First world problem buddy. ? I've been struggling with the swing change, getting used to new irons and not playing up on Long Island for 5 weeks. Even with todays round, I'll go up a full stroke to a 14.2 tomorrow. It will turn around though... As for your comment, yes, the Ghin still does the math, I was just surprised how different the # of strokes a player gets are now, as compared to the old system. It really rewards the players wo play the longer tee boxes in leagues and comps now. A lot of the sandbaggers who like to "move up" will go back to their proper tee now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as a Ranger fan, I've got to say, Messier=Messiah I don't collect sports memorabilia, but one item I cherish is a framed, glass encased photo of Mark and Wayne on the Rangers bench. It was signed for me by both of them. Whoa! That's a slouvenir alright. Yep, Messier delievered... nore more 1941 chants for us!!

funaz Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It's also coaching. No one says dunge or John fox were the greatest coaches of all time.Hell people hate hates and say he is the worst QB offensive mind ever and Peyton broke records with him. Peyton did it every season, on every team, with every teammate, and every coach. No one else can say that. I think the biggest argument for Peyton being goat is his lack of ever having a great coach and still being dominant. Reggie Wayne was not special. Nor were Clark and Garcon. Peyton made them special. Harrison and Faulk were special. No doubt. So was Edgerrin James. But he didn't have superstars surrounding him his whole career like some are saying. His RB when he won his first title was Joseph friggin Addai. And Marvin Harrison was 34 by then. Furthermore, his defenses were awful. and he was constantly having to battle the cheating Pats for AFC dominance. History will look kinder on Peyton once its clearly revealed for the world to see that not one of Brady's titles were legitimate. Not one.

I once, during a very dry season, hit a drive 365 yards , with a 1 iron, onto the green. Putting for an eagle. 4 putted and took a bogey. I gave up golf shortly after. Too frustrating. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
