you condemn the crowd for displaying crass behavior, then call someone with whom you disagree "peckerhead" ... you can make an argument without resorting to insults ... his post didn't insult anyone, and he wasn't bragging about who/what he knows ... 

 

but you do you ... 

The guy didn't disagree with him.  He lectured him with "think about what you post next time."  I don't agree with BNGL all that often, but he isn't one that you talk down to.

 

BNGL went easy on him, IMHO.

Roy White was dope! Underrated offensively and great outfielder.

 

He won 2 WS with the Yankees.

 

You sure he said that?

 

 

 

*Ron* White.

I understand the point.  To some degree I agree.  But.  In my opinion mixing alcohol with what we saw sunday is a trampling event waiting for a place to happen. 
 

remember. A person is generally smart . But people are no different than a pack of dogs.   Generally the most unpredictable forces on earth.  the players etc must be kept safe.  On this instance they simply remained safe out of pure chance. 
 

baseball is a poor analogy by the way.  It’s been dying since 1994.  I was once a super fan .  They lost me inch by inch until I cannot stomach a game at all.  Many reasons.  But I’m not alone .  Golf on the other hand isn’t being visited frequently by the biggest fans.  It’s a lot of frat boys and ex frat boys going to party.  Cut out the booze completely and you’d see how many true fans attend.  Not many.  Golf can thrive minus in person fans.  You can’t see anything in person anyway.  

 

I do agree but that was not the point I was making (poorly). It was that:  fans support the $ we pay these athletes. Baseball overwhelmingly by attendance vs the tv revenue and other stuff. Golf probably moreso watching at home. buying equipment, etc. But however money is generated, the fans are the engine.

It’s cool.  I don’t honestly care enough to disagree much. 😂.  But as a business owner I do get irritated at the “ customer is always right “.   That assumes that a business is willing to sell its soul for $.  All of us don’t agree With that.  You can scale profit to parallel your values In my opinion.

It was at that moment, that I had the right...to remain silent.  But I didn't have the ability.

Actually the "customer is always stupid" is closer to the truth than the "customer is always right".

Brooks would have needed three surgeries after a scene like that.

No way. Brooks is built like an NFL linebacker. He’d go Dick Butkus and the body count would be epic.

You must be watching a different NFL 😂 6’0”/205 more in line with the average NFL kicker.

Absolutely true.  I’m more teacher than salesperson  any day. .  The more info that is available the dumber people seem to get.

This thread is certainly going well.🤣 I haven't heard anybody called a peckerhead since junior high!

[miamistomp]

Why doesn't a rooster wear underwear ?

 

Because his pecker is on his face...

Ya! My buddy used to say that.

 

Yaaaaa peckerhead!

 

🤣

 

Also, if a teacher asked why a kid was not in class, he say,

 

”Ran away and died”

Back in this thread for the use of "peckerhead."

 

Cuz man, that's still funny.

GolfWRX can be funnier than most TV "comedies."

Fans are a must in any way, shape or form as THEY choose to appear. I'm not sure I see the line between the two. "In-person" fans are probably the most dedicated of the group in all sports. Baseball for instance:

 

"Revenue streams

Much of the MLB's total league-wide revenue was earned from gate receipts (ticket sales) in 2019"

 

I'll be the first to admit my feelings run deep and perhaps a bit too sensitive on this subject so my apologies but I grow more and more disturbed by the slow erosion of understanding of how this stuff works. All of professional sports generating revenue that allows its participants to make 7+ figure salaries rest on the back of Atlas, also known as the working folk.

 

The groundswell of emotion on 18 was authentic and incredible to witness. I'm can't throw the baby out with the bathwater here.

Hmm, so you’re ok with the fans on the course/field/court/rink BEFORE THE GAME IS OVER?

Perhaps in this case. But announcers and uniformed golf fans actually do compare Brooks to an NFL linebacker fairly often. So really hard to tell who’s joking! I’m afraid they’re typically not! 😜

Even an NFL quarterback nowadays is typically a huge physical specimen.

I haven't heard the term "peckerhead" in 30 years and damn it's a good one that needs to be dusted off 🙂

Excellent humble brag there, BNGL!  Almost deflected the criticism of you calling someone a "peckerhead".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It could have been worse. He could have called him a "peckerwood"...

Does this mean Phil will be back on the US Ryder Cup Team?  Or did qualifying end last year?

 

I was looking forward to the first Tiger/Phil-free Ryder Cup.
