Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really care if Nashville gets an MLB team. I’ve been a Braves fan for so long that it wouldn’t change anything for me. Besides, most Tennesseans already root for the Braves, Cardinals, Yankees, Cubs, or Dodgers. I think bringing an MLB team to Tennessee would be a waste.

* As far as my Boston gif, substitute the Packers for the Patriots and you've got my favorite pro sports teams. (I will admit...... The Pats are my favorite AFC team. 🤫)

He didn’t just lift weights. He was known to do training with special forces teams or at least the people who train them. I’m not really go to say someone did or didn’t, but the PGA has tested for it for a long time. He was always huge into his fitness, to his detriment.

PGA didn’t start testing for PEDs until 2008 - after the HGH wave that swept professional sports.

Go look at pictures of Tiger from 1997. Then go look at pictures from 2005 or 2007 - it’s like Barry Bonds 2.0

Maybe it was just coincidence that he was cavorting with HGH doctors and trainers during the HGH era.

I mean there’s no reason to believe he would lie and cheat about anything.

A little tidbit, about 15 years ago a friend of mine whom had a few dollars was approached about investing in bring a team to Nashville. As he explained to me, it was when Toronto was having trouble and they were talking of moving and Nashville was one of the places they or MLB was interested in. They wanted an AL Division team so that it wouldn't effect the NL market of the surrounding area. The one thing that got his attention was the fact that they would still be in the AL East so the Yankees, Red Sox and the other AL would be regulars games and the Brave, Reds and Cubs would be the inter league games at first. The deal never really developed after the initial talks.

Oh I will ALWAYS be a die hard Dodgers fan but I believe some would change their favorite team to a in-state MLB team. @peaygolf already stated a few months ago he would drop the Yankees in a moment for a team in Nashville...

And yes……I’m a Yankees fan from the day I was born

Same here. Been a Braves fan since 1982. I'd add Reds to teams Tennesseeans root for. There's a bunch of them in NE Tennessee..

Yup. I am one, though not as radical about my fandom as I was in my younger days.

My dad played semi-pro in the coal mining camp league in east TN after WW II before I was born. He was a Reds fan all of his life which passed to me. The orientation of baseball fans around here was more toward Cincy, the Braves were still in Milwaukee. Kids were influenced by it as many had family that had moved that way with the migration on the Hillbilly Highway for jobs after the war and when the mines started shutting down. You could catch a train around here and ride to downtown Cincy's station, which was a short distance from Crosley Field. Especially when you had family nearby to stay with while there.

I did it as a young kid. Still remember it all - the sights, the smells, the sounds. Great memories.

I use it for almost everything. The sensitivity when cranking is awesome. Have to keep in mind the no stretch so I don't use on any fast action rods. Knot tying I agree with, the only knot I have confidence in is the old polamor (sp) knot. I grew up using 12# stren and that's only because Bill Dance told me to. I've actually become very fond of all suffix lines, their mono is top notch too. I use it for my worm rods.

Every rod I got has some kind of suffix line on it. Been using it for years good price and great products.

Yup. Major coverup. How quickly folks can conveniently forget the investigative reports and evidence. They crucify the players in other sports who did it and totally ignore Tiger, who was already great before he started using.

The tour went all in to sell the narrative for another GOAT to drive interest in the game globally. It worked for a time. Now it is floundering over it and LIV with no icon golfer to serve its imaging needs. Which was the problem, they thought they needed imaging when they already had one of the best stories and histories in sports. The game speaks for itself if it is kept pure from the crap that can cause it problems. The truth is there have been a number of GOATs subject to era in time. That's the narrative to sell. The history and tradition are good things, not bad. Sure, adapt to changes in society, but don't throw the beautiful baby out with the bathwater.

For example, very few in the game have ever had a better season than Scottie last year. Add in Xander with two majors. Sell that and all of the great young talent in the game. Mend fences with LIV and be about the game of golf.

Happy Thursday

March 13, 2025: Stop and examine how much you have grown spiritually in these past few months, and continue to establish divine order in where you are and what you do. Do the best you can and the Lord will fill in the gaps. God will continue to go before you to make the crooked places straight. Isaiah 45:2-3 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
