    What is next for BB?

    I won’t hijack this thread since there’s already one about the Krafts but in that thread it’s clear many who have crossed paths with them note their undying need for credit for things.

    What is next for BB?

    Interested in how Krafts must see this. BB doesn’t need to place anonymous quotes or drop subtle comments to respond to the apparent hit jobs. He can simply maintain a public profile and do things like this and continue with analysis. He is so good at this stuff and his football mind and...

    It is outrageous that Jay Monahan still has a job. I cannot wrap my head around it and come up with any reason why he would still be the leader of the PGA.

    2024 Masters

    I actually considered volunteering since I live in Newport but didn’t want to dedicate a full 4 days to the tournament. My understanding is that tickets aren’t hard to get so plan to attend one of the days depending on weather since I’m here.

    You can cast it to your TV and even that seems very slick.

    These guys owe so much to tiger. The money on the tour has nothing to do with the ratings of today or its economics. You have to think the next contract negotiation would be a bloodbath and that’s why they will need this PE and Saudi money because it’s not coming from sponsors.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think we all agree the owner wants a QB and we will draft one. The question is which one. And an owner pushing for a QB to be drafted is at least defensible as not being an overreach. I would suggest that putting their thumb on the scape as to who would be a bad sign.

    Hyperbole/oversimplification alert. Daniel’s potential flaws make him a bust. Mayes make him Brett Farve, Josh Allen or similar talented QBs that seem to have extreme talent, get their teams to a certain point but overdo it at times and cost the team. Sign me up for Maye please. JJ hasn’t...

    Late to respond but it looks like there may be a few things. First, Hadley did them a huge favor by leaving so there was no buyout. I also think they saw some ability to have continuity which BC has always overvalued. It’s hard to know if any big time alumni (Fish) stepped up since they are so...

    Fair. I didn’t understand his tweet either. I will be listening to the NLU podcast tonight and hopefully he is on to explain. Today is exactly the type of day that the PGA should be using to tell stories and differentiate itself.

    So here’s the thing. I don’t think you’re being fair. I think the PGA is rudderless and without vision. To blame the fans is arrogant and missing the point. I know Malnati. Was moved by his tears and psyched for him. But I listen to NLU and Foreplay. Calling the very fans they need (and who...

    This is where the PGA blows it. They don’t know how to package these stories and just punt when stars aren’t there … or are just rudderless. They really need to move on from Monahan to a leader with actual vision and skills. Get that Yellow ball to the Masters!

    This tournament should be added to the “special ones”. Tough course for sure. Nice drama here with Cam Young looking for his first and Malnati a long time journeyman on the PGA board.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This. What’s the point in keeping Zappe? This team isn’t going anywhere next year so you don’t need a stop gap to tread water for a few weeks so go with youth or sign a guy off the street if things are that bad. He’s worse talent wise than what you had last year.
