I think that’s the one where he fought the Uzbeki guy. Yeah – the replays show him throw 4, 5 and 6 punch combinations to the ribs/head that all landed cleanly, and he somehow only got 3 points for the whole round.

thats why I can afford to play around with the coffee and accessories at that link i posted. We use a pretty nice burr grinder and drip machine at work with good coffee, so I don’t mind so much drinking their offerings during the weekdays. Plus, the boss pays for it all so that helps.

I just read Goldstein’s Call-Up piece on him. He thinks it’ll only be until Ortiz comes off the DL. Seems weird to waste a minor league option for just a week or so. Looks like his defense is the portion of his game that has taken a step forward this season while the offense has kinda stalled out.

I wish more people would take this into consideration, I worked at a movie theater in high school and always loved people complaining to me about the prices as if me and my $5.75 hourly wage were involved in the financial structuring of the business…one busy night I pointed to the long lines and explained supply and demand to the guy who then still forked over the $30 for whatever shit they were going to consume, ‘Murica
Worked customer service for a credit card for 3 years while I was in college. Stuck to the script all the time when customers complained about their APR and other fees. One time I got so fed up with a customer that just wouldn’t stop that I let them know that if I was the one making decisions as to what the fee amount should be, I certainly wouldn’t be taking calls from whiny, insufferable customers. I actually used the phrase “whiny, insufferable customer”. She could’ve easily asked for my supervisor and had me fired. But I think she was just shocked. There was a 5 second pause and then she apologized TO ME for being rude. Thank god that call wasn’t monitored.

I can understand some of this. But you’re still on the coaches time and playing by his rules (in the case of Mullen). Also, fans, or more specifically me, want more than just filler. E.g. Chizik said the first 1/2 of practice was only so-so but they really turned it on in the second half, etc. Some of this has to do with coach-speak but some of it also has to do with media guys asking inane questions.

I knew I would need to flatten the clubs, but once I got that .5″ extra length, it was a whole new world. Not coming in nearly as steep and was able to really make solid, predictable contact.

I never thought that some CFA franchises might go rogue. Wonder if there will be any repercussions
I think franchise agreements only involve adhereing to secret sauce recipes, don’t think they can mandate group hivethink

I knew I would need to flatten the clubs, but once I got that .5″ extra length, it was a whole new world. Not coming in nearly as steep and was able to really make solid, predictable contact.
i was fitted, and opted for standard length since i didn’t want to fuck with the MOI too much (long story)…after seeing my shitty swings on video (why couldnt she have gotten any of my good swings?) it’s kinda obvious the shorter clubs are effecting my setup and shit. probably where that squat move comes from…still hit it well tho, so i can deal with a simple tweak.
Had a similar issue and it’s fantastic when you just stripe them after such a small adjustment. Feels effortless.
oh yea…and my wedges too. was taking too narrow of a stance, and once i figured out how to keep my planes consistent with a wider stance, my distance control and spin were markedly improved.
love it.

I asked Goodell jokingly if he wanted to punch Brees in the face. Goodell didn’t smile or miss a beat.
Goodell should’ve replied, “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

Been using GolfTEC and though I don’t go enough at least I know how to work on things when I hit the range. Problem is I try to work on half a dozen things and get frustrated.

And the guy in the Chick-fil-A video needs to go DIAF. Fucking jag. Look, if you’re NOT going to patronize them because of this, then don’t fucking patronize them. I was just as put off by the small groups protesting the larger group of assholes on Wednesday.
If you think Chick-fil-A is in the wrong, great. Just make a Facebook or Twitter post about and be on your merry fucking way to Five Guys, provided they don’t come out and deny global warming or say recycling is for tards or something.

I’m actively involved in the elections process and ensuring that democratic elections are executed as best as possible. does that count?
spencer – i was amazed at how much flattening and lengthening a wedge felt. Haven’t committed to getting new ones yet, but am looking hard at the SM4′s in oilcan or the TVD’s with the M grind.

I got tired of just getting tips from my friends on the course and signed up for a 6 lesson pack. Wife won’t like the cost, but she will appreciate not getting beaten every time I get home from golfing.

lol. we’d be deadly if you could hit all the long shots and i could chip and putt.

the m-grind is fantastic…very similar to the dual sole grind on my nike lob wedge. i tried out the sm4′s and wasn’t all that impressed. tvd’s are a different story…check out discount dan’s golf. you can make offers and can probably get the tvd’s new for the same price as the sm4′s.
