    **** daylight savings

    Standard time is a July 1st sunrise of 4:19am here in Chicagoland. So starts getting light out about 3:45am. Yeah, that's much better than the horror of changing our clocks a couple times a year..... I don't care if it's dark until 10am. Give me light later in the day, when we can use it.

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    The numbers in your post actually prove the argument that "the best athletes play others sports". Off population, the US should have 28x the elite athletes that Belgium has, but ours aren't playing soccer. The best 8/10/12 year olds in the US are playing SS/P, or QB/RB/WR/CB, or PG/SG. In...

    MLB: Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!

    Wasn't about "Bonilla Day", but saw a tweet about the Marlins this morning. Giancarlo Stanton is the 3rd highest paid player on their payroll. He last played for them in 2017.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    I'm not an engineer, and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but 131MPH doesn't seem like it should be strong enough to cause complete failure of a wind farm. That's insane wind, but I would think they'd be designed for higher. Google tells me they have had upper 90's winds before.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    This is one of those times that math makes me cry... 10 year old me in 1984 driving around with my parents listening to 30 year old "oldies" station from the 50's 10 year olds today driving around with their parents listening to 30 year old "oldies" artists Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, and...

    $60 Million Sharing Cap

    The current system is definitely not fair, so it's nice for the Big10 and SEC to compromise.... "We have $80mil, and you "poors" are struggling to raise $20, so let's compromise. Everyone now has the same cap, and it will be $60 million. Now it's fair." I hate college sports more every day...

    What’s In the Bag? ***GOLF EQUIPMENT THREAD***

    All for an old golf thread getting resurrected... it's new to me. Current setup: Driver: Elyte triple diamond 3W/5W: Paradym irons: Ping i540 (UW thru 4i) wedges: ping i159 (58 and 52 degree) grew up playing a ton thru college. Work/wife/kids/life took over, and played less and less. Barely...

    Viking cruise

    I've seen some posts from people that have done the 180 day type cruises. Definitely need money saved up, but a small % of them have no actual home, and are living their retirement as "nomads". Spend 4 months on a cruise, then 3 months snowbirding in a rental house, another couple months road...

    A lot of the old courses are like that. They were designed when green speeds were much slower.

    Not sure what the weather forecast is, but have to figure the setup by USGA will be the toughest of the week. Hard to imagine any of the -1/E/+1 guys pulling off a 66. Need Clark to gag a little, or this is over. Clark has played great, but I will say, it seems like every time he has hit a bad...

    Unfortunately, they did mention that the winds will likely die down a little bit by the time the leaders are teeing off

    If the ball keeps rolling like that, play will be suspended. At the same time, Gotterup needs to hit the damn ball. Standing there with the putter behind the ball for 5 seconds+ is just looking something to happen

    Sometimes it’s just luck too. Clark hit 3 straight horrible drives yesterday that all ended up with good lies because they were so bad they finished in trampled down spectator areas.

    No idea what the USGA has done with water, mowing, etc. for today, but watching the Golf channel “pregame”, the wind is strong this morning

    Niemann had an 11 on #6 yesterday, and is going to make the cut. Guessing the list of players to make a US Open cut, with a double digit score on a hole, is pretty short.

    I think the early fog helped keep the greens from drying out too. For US Open standards, players could throw darts at the pins.

    Yes, it's downhill, and yes, it's downwind, but Bryson just hit a 427 yard drive on #12.

    If this is the "easy" morning, should be some solid carnage for this afternoon. Even with the softer/slower greens, only 5 guys under par so far, and they are all -1. I'd love for +3 or so to be the winner.

    Viking cruise

    Not to step too hard on your joke, but Viking does run cruises on the Mississippi. Longest one goes from St Paul all the way to New Orleans. 100% not my thing to float past Dubuque, St Louis, etc., but I think they are pretty popular.

    Viking cruise

    Our cruise had some people with very limited mobility. Honestly, for me as an "entitled youngster" in my early 50's, that would make the cruise a lot less appealing. The times we sat on top of the ship and watched the world go by were great, especially "castle day", but for the most part, we...
