He got clowned, but the reaction was over the top. Also can’t deny the racial component here – the people coming to Knight’s defense are primarily white guys (Van Pelt talked about it on his show yesterday as well). Basically trying to paraphrase Billy Hoyle tsk-tsking Sidney Deane, “You’d rather look good and lose than look bad and win.”
March 12th, 2013 at 8:48 AM
i don’t understand how you guys shovel so much. i live in cleveland and haven’t shoveled once yet this year.

The NBA culture is all messed up when the internet takes a dump on Brandon Knight for trying to play defense.
Tony and Wilbon actually praised Knight for attempting to play defense and slammed his teammates for leaving him out to dry.

the crib transition always sucks. not because of the baby crying, but listening to my wife bitch about the baby crying…
March 12th, 2013 at 9:00 AM
“it’s a bit disconnect with many people.”
should of said “big” not bit, but just saying that there are many basketball fans that dont get the over-th-etop celebration on some dunks, blocked shots, summer league terrible basketball, a guy legitimtitely slipping but “had his ankles broken”. I realize why it exists and I am not particularly concerned, but I do think the people that don’t like the inanity have a valid viewpoint and it makes the “Brandon Knight is dead” crowd seem a bit absurd at times and undermines the league in broader appeal.

Good luck with the sick kiddo. Mine was constantly sick between Christmas and the end of January. Hate pediatric doctor’s offices.
I don’t mind shoveling. Get out in the snow and have some fun. Although the wet ass 10 inches we got in the last snow made me a bit sore. Let’s one know what muscles I don’t use often.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:07 AM
Agreed.
As great as that dunk may have been, it was still only worth 2 points.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
I’m still so bummed the Vikings let Boldin go to the Niners. Not that the Vikings were going to be serious contenders this year, but he’s a difference maker and a “throw it anywhere, I’ll fight the DB and go get it” type of WR who Ponder desperately needs.

My problem with snow shoveling is that despite my relatively young age, I have a sketchy lower back due to an injury I suffered about 15 months ago. I’m always a little worried I’ll reinjure it so I’m slower than I should be.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:13 AM

Shoveling is not so bad but it helps to have a blower for the worst days. I have some tall mature trees that ensure no sunlight hits my driveway. If I didnt shovel we’d have ice on the driveway til Memorial Day.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:19 AM
So two years in a row now the Niners have picked up the Super Bowl champs receiver. Still think they still need a speed WR to stretch the field, is Moss coming back? Boldin, Crabtree, Davis(TE), Manningham, Moss?
March 12th, 2013 at 9:20 AM
Beanie Wells makes Fragile Fred Taylor seem as durable as Walter Payton. Nice skills but he he should pay rent for all the time he spends in the trainer’s office.

March 12th, 2013 at 9:24 AM

you don’t think their play action stretches the field enough? There’s plenty of wide open spaces. Manningham, though, is probably getting either straight cut, or waived/injured. Because his knee is ruined.

Giants would never let Cruz go, but better to let the market dictate his salary then being held to his agent’s whims. Him getting a tender would be the best thing for the Giants.

I don’t know anything about AJ Jenkins, but he was their first round draft choice last year. I can’t imagine he isn’t fast.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:27 AM
Agree completely. Local radio guy in Atlanta said he saw a headline on SportsCenter that read, “What was Brandon Knight thinking?” Um…fucktards, he was thinking it’s his job to rotate and contest the shot. You know, actually playing basketball. Much better to just stand there and do nothing. Also known as the AAU way.

Didnt realize Manningham’s knee was so messed up. I forgot about Ginn. Jr, as a speed option and maybe AJ Jenkins will do something next year.

He still managed to tear up the Lions this year. If we didn’t already have LeShit, I’d be interested in Beanie.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:35 AM
I had high hopes for Beanie in AZ, bu he never stayed healthy. Admittedly (and in hindsight absolutely correct) I wanted them to draft Shady McCoy that year and was initially upset that they picked Beanie.

I had an awesome range session over the weekend. Ground is still way to soft to play, and supposed to get 1-2 inches of rain today so it’s not going to get any better for a week or two. Was really hitting the ball well for not having picked up a club in 3 months.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:40 AM
Beanie Wells suffered that brutal foot injury at OSU vs. YSU. He was merely running to the flat for a swing pass and without contact, went down with an injury that undermined his entire junior season. Call me crazy, I took that as a sign dude was injury prone.

I’m going to step up to the tee at No. 1 having not swung a club in about 5 months. Expecting big things to happen.
My first round is usually alarmingly good. I focus on fundamentals and have low expecations and usually fire around my handicap. Then for round 2, I go out there overconfident with higher expectations and struggle to break 100.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:46 AM
I played Sunday. Swing number 1 was one of my top 3 swings all day. Tees were up and boxes were closed and flew the green. Everything from about 100 in was junky all day. As well to be expected. It was nicely busting my golf nut for the year though, so i’m not gonna bitch too much.

March 12th, 2013 at 9:48 AM
This is like me in tennis. When I get back on the court after a long layoff I hammer the fuck out of the ball. I’m putting serves where I want them and hitting them with pace. Next time around I double fault like a dickface and dump balls into the net on the reg. Rinse and repeat.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
ive been chomping at the bit for that first shot of the year since about, oh, my last shot of last year, hah. im just dying to hit a ball not on a driving range for fuck’s sake.

If you make an 8 on a 5500 yard par-5, there better be video.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
This has happened to me several years. Through the end of last year and over the weekend, I kept focusing on keeping my swing in the right rhythm, and everything else works itself out. My game has improved exponentially ever since I stopped trying to hit the ball and just focus on keeping the right rhythm each swing.

Ooops, you said Korean girl. I thought we were talking about one being a pronstar and that name came to my mind immediately.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:55 AM
one of the reasons I’m glad I don’t have kids. I usually get around 50 rounds in a year, and i don’t think that’s enough.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:56 AM
understandable…they do make a fine product, but youre back at square one if you drop $300+ on a putter and didnt get exactly what you want.
love their finishes, but something about their putter heads is a lil funky…at least in my eye. i love ssb’s but id probably go with a morgan or tp mills if i was going that route.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:56 AM
Speaking of, I’ve had some bad, bad putter woes lately. Shot 85 the other day and missed 8 makeable putts. Four of them were from inside 5′ but still on the leather. Figured it was alignment and found a good drill.
Lay an aiming stick on the ground. Place one over shoulder with left hand holding it onto chest. Make sure both line up. Then putt with the right hand to get a feel for alignment.
I think I had my shoulder open, swung on my shoulder line, and pulled everything.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:56 AM
Sometimes I don’t even make it to the 2nd round. A couple years back I tee it up for the first time in the spring and go the entire front nine hitting every fairway and GIR, shooting 1 over (what can I say – the greens were still a little lumpy). Then on the back I didn’t even break 50.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:57 AM
Is there anything on or in her body that is not God’s handwork?
March 12th, 2013 at 9:57 AM
no doubt. in the past calender year I have missed two weekends where I haven’t played at least one round, and that was at Christmas when I was in Wisconsin, and last weekend when I was laying new floor in my house. fuck some cold weather.

I think we hit 112 here last year. The drought sucks but I don’t mind the heat.
March 12th, 2013 at 9:58 AM
Shot 46-42 on Saturday at an unfamiliar course. Could’ve been 44-40 if I had known the layout a little better. 38-38 if a couple of putts don’t stop 1″ short on molasses greens. It was misting, but one of those light rains that you don’t really even feel. Irons are rusty, but it’s the flatstick and finesse game that beg for work.
But it was great embarrassing my wife’s uncle. Poor fella can’t hit it 100 yds off the tee box. Just this goofy little sinkerball duck hook. I try to advise him, but he insists on placing the ball 2″ behind his CoM and sway load going back.

Nope. I am awful at it and don’t have the patience for it. Everyone in my family plays and my best friend works at a Rees Jones course in Charlotte and I’ve played there with him but it just doesn’t interest me, too frustrating and too much of a money sink.

I’ve never shoveled snow a day in my life, as I’ve always lived in the South. It sounds about as fun as going to the dentist. You think it’s better than dealing with 95-100 degree heat with 1000% humidity (yes, 1000% – and it does this somehow without raining) for weeks/months on end?
March 12th, 2013 at 10:03 AM
Bought my two sons snow shovels for Christmas about 10 years back. Wife was pissed, but I thought it was great. As soon as they left, a snowblower was purchased.
Right move every time.

those are great too…damn, and i love the piretti script. great logo.
there are like 20 putters id kill to buy right now, but there’s just no way i could put the scotty down. fits me too damn well.

March 12th, 2013 at 10:04 AM
At the range the other day, some random asked me to record him hitting 2 drives-one left handed and one right handed. I’m pretty sure he was left handed, but he drove the ball way better right handed. it was weird to watch.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:04 AM
Not that I don’t enjoy watching golf and whatnot, just not the activity for me. I prefer bocce.

I don’t want to be golfing on the weekend and see her even less.
I’ve gone to the Saturday 600am round. Wake up around 520am, grab a banana and water bottle. 15 minutes to the course, hit a few putts and tee off at 600am. Done by 930am and home by 10am. That’s an extra 6-10 rounds a summer. Since you have 2 kids, this isnt waking up much earlier than you are used to presently.
Perfect greens, fast play. Downside, everything gets wet from dew.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:07 AM
Sweet. Gonna get that.

March 12th, 2013 at 10:09 AM
You think it’s better than dealing with 95-100 degree heat with 1000% humidity
so your polar opposite is mowing your brown grass with a push mower.
The heat is worse to deal with, but you basically hide from both.
There’s nothing worse than mud season, though. Nothing.

I love being the first off the tee in the morning. If I’m by myself I’m done in 2.5 hours and have a full day to do whatever. Definitely played before work more than a few times at my old job that was much more flexible with my schedule.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
I could walk my home course in 3.5 on Sat/Sun AM. Granted, you need to be shooting 80s and not have to hunt for tee shots to make that happen.

I can’t stand having a yard that looks like crap, so I spend a small fortune on watering it… which means it grows like crazy and I have to mow it at least once a week (sometimes more often than that) to keep it under control.

March 12th, 2013 at 10:13 AM
Here’s the thing: that heat and humidity doesn’t just exist in the south. I’ve spent summers in Charlotte that have been fucking miserable but last summer in Pittsburgh we had several week long stretches of mid nineties and it was humid as shit too. The big downside of that compared to somewhere like Charlotte or Atlanta? Majority of houses in the city are row houses and brownstones that don’t have central air. I lived on the third floor of a brownstone with a window unit AC and would have to keep it running all day while I was at work for it to be below ninety on the thermostat when I got home.

it’s not that expensive. you can find used clubs, use GolfNow.com or those value cards where you pay $100 for 10 rounds at prime courses. there’s a ton of cheap golf out there if you just look for it.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:16 AM
there are a lot to pick from, but if i had to choose 1 in my area, itd be 18 here.
it’s all uphill, elevated green, you gotta carry water to an extremely narrow fairway and then have a sidehill lie for a hybrid/long iron approach. the green slopes crazy back to front and if you find any of the bunkers, youre pretty much dead. one of the most brutal par 4′s i can think of.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:16 AM
We get the heat and humidity AND rain in Houston. So I end up push mowing our 1/2 acre frequently in that 95/95 type weather.

I was just going to recommend the same thing. I keep it in the bag.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:20 AM
#17 at Wolf Creek. It’s really a pretty short, simple par 5. You tee off 50 yds above the fairway, usually with a breeze at your back. A simple 9-to-3 driver swing puts you 325-335 out and you can hit a go’fer into the green from 225. The green is a giant backstop, so you can come in low with a 3i/7w and stop it.
The 5 times I’ve played it, I’ve totally boned the drive (overcook a draw or wipe it) and left myself in a pile of shit that forces me to lay up so I can lay up. Into the green from 90-110 at that point and I’m trying to squeeze in a 20-footer with 4-feet of break for par.

March 12th, 2013 at 10:22 AM
If you are teeing off at 6am-620am in the summer there is at most 2 or three groups in front of you. Normally 1 or 2. These are usually hard-core golfers that shoot at least in the 80′s. I am a 13 handicap so I can do okay. You’ll play absurdly fast but have about 2-3 times where you look for a ball for 5 minutes. I often have 1 person that joins me or I play alone. If you get the codgy old guys they will usually hate letting you go by so you have to plot a skiparound point or something. But it’s a small calculated risk for getting a round in so early.
I’ve walked in 3-3.5 and if I have the cart 3.15 is about the norm for a 6am round. I’ve doen the cart in 1:50 ro so a few times but at a certain point you’re just playing fast and can lose your focus.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:22 AM
17 and 18 at Carnoustie. There is literally no place to hit it if you are at the back tees. Just freaking crazy.

Houston is rough… I’m in Memphis, not quite as bad (still miserable more often than not during the dog days of summer). All this golf talk is really giving me the itch. I’m a newlywed (married in November) and haven’t played since the day before I got married. Also, my golfing buddy just had his first child so neither of us has been able to get out to the course. I’m teaching my wife how to play. Unfortunately, she’s a natural athlete and very well may wind up being better than I am (luckily I’ve got a 15 year head start on her).

This is a pet peeve of mine. I don’t have the inclination to take lessons, so I have accepted that shooting 90 is probably as good as I’m going to get (I’m at 100 now, give or take 2-3 depending on the day). I get mad at myself for sure, but I’ve accepted that getting super pissed just doesn’t make sense at all. I save that for tennis and soccer.

Then gets his rangefinder.
Then tests the wind.
Then pulls a club.
Then goes through his pre-shot routine.
Then blocks it way right.

HUGE difference. i remember the first round i played with a legit +handicap…was a totally different game.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:45 AM
THis describes one of my golf buddies to a tee. He hits the ball a mile, but with zero accuracy. He plays a lot, but has only been playing for 3-4 years now. I usually shoot 88-95 and I always smoke him when we play. He was playing by himself one day and sent me a picture of his scorecard with a 77 on it. I called BS, but he won’t admit that he cheated. He takes 5-6 mulligans every time we play and if i don’t count his strokes, he will almost always miscount. It’s quite amusing.

March 12th, 2013 at 10:50 AM

March 12th, 2013 at 10:56 AM
That’s my father-in-law. Hasn’t been playing long. Would shoot 130 if I made him play by the rulebook, but he insists on reloads, counting them, forgetting about hitting it OB. That sort of thing. Claims he shot 94 the other day and figured it all out. It’s insufferable.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:56 AM
A whole lot of mediocrity in there.
March 12th, 2013 at 10:58 AM
Reminds me of a buddy I used to play with frequently. I once saw him looking for his ball in the woods behind an elevated green take a new ball out of his pocket, drop it, kick it several times into a manageable lie before saying “I found it!” I told him I saw his entire charade, and he still denied cheating… I don’t understand it. It’s not like there was anything on the line. He would routinely shoot in the high 70′s when he played alone, but I never saw him break 90 when we played together (even while cheating).
March 12th, 2013 at 11:11 AM
I have never understood these people. I suck. We all laugh about it and move on. I think the part that probably pisses my buddies off is when I ask them to watch my shots and give pointers.
