Observaciones

Here are some quick and tidy observations I have made recently. 

  • Brian Harman, the golfer, has an insane website. This website is linked through his bio on the PGA Tour website, so it must be real, right? I had dozens of questions immediately. Check this thing out: https://brianharmangolf.com/ 

It looks like a school project. Does he even know that this exists? Did the PGA Tour website henchman just google Brian Harman and then toss this link in there? Are these facts even correct? Not every golfer has a website linked on the site, so why is Brian’s? WHO MADE THIS???

  • The Masters website is the cream of the crop. They’ve got everything in there. You can even check out the job openings. Overnight Sandwich prep cook might be the most important job at Augusta. 

HOWEVER, I found a breach in the fortress at the end of Magnolia Lane. Why is Erik van Rooyen the last player listed alphabetically on the Masters website? I’m a student of the English language, I know the alphabet. So, why is this guy at the bottom of the alphabetized list right behind Will Zalatoris? I had to address this situation at the top. That is why I sent Chairman Ridley a message to point out the mistake: 

What happened next could be made into a Disney movie. I got a response. Not from Fred, but from a Digital Technology Manager with Augusta National Golf Club. I won’t reveal the screenshot of the email, but this is what they sent me with the subject line “van Rooyen”: “Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate you reaching out.  van Rooyen should now be sorting correctly.” 

Let’s bleeping bleep. Howie strikes again. AND THEY ACTUALLY CHANGED IT!!! If you are like me and you check this field list on the daily, you would notice that Mr. van Rooyen is now in a cozy little spot between Justin Thomas and Camillo Villegas. You’re welcome everybody. 

  • I was scrolling twitter today and saw this story about Hasaan Reddick “chasing sacks”. The tweet was basically outing this as scandalous. Apparently other Eagles players and personnel have been running their mouths. But my question is, isn’t his job to “chase sacks”? Don’t these guys want to hurl themselves into a feeble QB and then spit in their face afterwards? I assume there is some nuance here. Maybe he was playing outside of the system, and that is a problem. But the way the tweet was phrased made it seem akin to someone getting pissed at the wide receivers for trying to get open. 

  • I was recently minding my own business on the highway, in my car of course. This car passes me, and like everybody else, I peeked over to see if they were some kind of zombie. But I didn’t see a human, I saw a dog! There was a full sized dog riding in the drivers lap! Some kind of Sheepdog mutt! What the shit. We cannot be doing this. I’m a dog guy, but I am also a productive and aspirationally passive member of society. Luckily, I had some raw eggs in the passenger seat so I caught back up and threw one at their break lights. Got’eeeeeeeeem.

  • The Red Sox are going to win the World Series. This team could be FUN! Trevor Story’s injury is not as dire as it seemed. Our pitchers have the lowest ERA in the majors by almost a full point. This Tyler O’Neil guy is a one many wrecking crew. He’s got a .360 average and 4 home runs through 9 games. If we win tonight, the Sox will have gone 7-3 on a West Coast road trip to start the year. Home opener this Tuesday against the belle of the ball Orioles. Let’s go!
