      Professional golf gets players from all over the world, and the travel required for them makes it challenging for the players during the pandemic.  PGA events and the golf majors also require a large amount of volunteers to help make the tournament run smoothly.  Yes, some of the volunteers wouldn't be needed if the tournaments were played without crowds, but having a golf tournament for just TV isn't as easy as it seems.

       

      Regarding local golf courses, I think they should be able to stay open, if the course and the players follow strict guidelines.  These include:  walking only, no entry into the clubhouse/restaurant, spacing out tee times, raised cups, keeping flags in, removing bunker rakes, etc.  Basically, anything that can be done to increase social distancing and limiting groups and passing of the virus.

      Certainly not easy, no.  But absolutely doable, yes.

      The necessary travel by the players and caddies would be foolish unless the current pandemic conditions greatly improved. 

  4. If you listen carefully, you can almost hear John McClane... 

     

  5. To make matter worse for the Ol' Tree Nuts, three new lawsuits have been filed by former members of the wresting team accusing OSU of enabling a sexual predator.

      And it was covered up and ignored by US Congressman Jim Jordan who used to be an assistant wrestling coach at that time and multiple wrestlers say they told him about it.

       

      Holy cow, that AD is totally f*$cked up.

  6. Great shirt choice by Frost! Shout out to my friends at Triple B Screen Printing! 

     

     

  7. I wonder how soon before BTN goes the HBO route and offers truly à la carte service (i.e. not tied to a cable/satellite/streaming service)? I definitely think there's a market for it.

      DirtecTV Now is the way I want to go but if we end up keeping Comcast I'll just add whatever streaming service includes BTN for the least $$'s. I'll keep working on the ball and chain. The big bonus would be if we lose that mind numbing Hallmark channel. Really tired of the fluff romance shows you guise.

      Play Station Vue has all the sports networks including BTN. We pay around 50 bucks a month but you will need a streaming device like a Roku

      Coincidentally, my three favorite clubs teams are from Germany (Bayern), England (Arsenal), and Italy (Juventus), so I guess my national team allegiances go hand-in-hand. I still haven't decided who I'll be cheering for on Sunday.

      I can rationalize that people are born, or made, socially maladaptive. But that doesn’t mean i understand. This jerk is a monster. 

  10. North and South Korea to march together under one flag at Winter Olympics. Countries will also field a joint women's hockey team.

      I mean, we didn't have it 3 years ago and I don't remember my bill being different.

      The price to access the internet was likely going to increase under net neutrality. Charter, Comcast, Verizon, etc don't really care about saving you money.  But now they can limit sites and applications that compete with their services. Cord cutters might not care for this in the future if you are on a service that is competing with your isp that also offers cable TV service or streaming service. 

       

      A lot has changed in three years.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Cellular companies have already been experimenting by allowing you to work around their data caps with certain plans like Tmobile's Netflix streaming. Technically it probably violates net neutrality but Pai didn't care.

  13. Russia banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics for doping.

      Whatch the documentary Icarus on Netflix about the Russian doping scandle last Olympics. It's insane. Pretty much every athlete in every sports dopes, or should be doping prior to competition to be competative (not that it's ethical). Only the Russians have been ballsy enough to try to keep doing it during or just before competitions, and bypass or buy off the syste. I would guess over 90% of athletes cycle something at some point during training. 

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Not fair. I saw some burnouts doping in their car earlier today. Betcha those guys haven’t been banned from the Olympics.

      Doping = Installing a POTUS?

  14. Looks like Italy isn't going to qualify for the World Cup. Gian Piero Ventura might get fired before Mike Riley.

      @zoogs EU has probably the toughest qualifications in the world.  CONCACAF is actually the easiest and we couldn't even make it.  You are right in the fact that the top 3 go and the 4th place plays a playoff type game against an Asian conference team, this year Honduras played Australia for the WC birth.

      Gianluigi Buffon is my all-time favorite player, and he officially retired from international soccer after the match. It's really sad to see him go out like this. 

    4. schriznoeder

      schriznoeder

      And I was right, Ventura has already resigned as Italy's manager. Take notes, Riley.

  15. Trying to picture a 30-pounds-heavier version of Tristan Gebbia running Scott Frost's offense. Hmm...

      Maybe it was more upper body strength? The shot put is a lot of lower body explosiveness. I drank a lot back then so that could be it too.

      It doesn't matter where most of his strength was. Throwing it 62 feet means you are a dude, and put together very well.

      Jurgens from Beatrice doesn't even throw it 60 ft

      Does Arnold throw it 60?

  16. Jane Raybould set to challenge Sen. Deb Fischer.

  17. Challenge of the day: Try saying Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III slowly five times without developing a Southern accent.

      That's really his name? If I had a name that epic I would not go by Jeff. And I would most certainly refer to myself in the third person.

      That's really his name. Pretty sweet, huh? And I agree - I would definitely refer to myself in the third person all the time.

  18. The Senate is currently invoking the so-called "nuclear option" to end debate on SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch. It's a sad day for American politics.

      Check your history. This procedure is nearly 100 years old and was made popular in its current form by Republicans in 2005.

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      Disagree. Republicans seem to have brought about the judicial dysfunction by blockading tons of Obama lower court picks, leading to the Democrats threatening to nuke the filibuster.

       

      Are they just supposed to accept that NO judicial appointments can be made PERIOD unless Mitch McConnell approves of them? Because that seems to be a major stretch of parliamentary procedure.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Eh, so my history is murky, but the Dems have done it before under Obama, they continued the can of worms. If they would just take the high ground and not react the GOP would be a dead by now.

  19. I don't really care for Colin Cowherd, but getting to see Kristine Leahy everyday on The Herd makes everything better.

      She looks best when her hair is up. I'm not as in to her when it's down.

      At least the crickets have plenty of silence to chirp in.

  21. Just got done attending Jeff Fortenberry's townhall meeting in Lincoln. If you thought Kellyanne Conway was a master of deflecting questions, you haven't heard Fortenberry speak recently. Wow.

      Lee Terry and Fortenberry were different districts. Also, Fortenberry is from Louisiana. That never sat well with me.

  22. $20 to whoever can knock the cowboy hat off Dick Cheney's head.

  23. So this is how they try and camouflage Bo's return to Lincoln? A Medevac flight? http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N988QC

  24. So, apparently DL recruits are getting scared off by the prospect of too MUCH playing time?
