There is significant transit need for a high speed rail connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco. That is what voters agreed to.
Of course, lobbyists got in the way and what actually happened was an unfinished Sacramento <-> Bakersfield line that nobody will use.

I completely forgot about that car crash, I guess there has just been a lot of crazy stuff happening during and since that time.

No objection here. He’s still one of the 3 I listed. Who are all only close to matched by one another.

Fair enough. For me, 14 titles in 17 years and 112-3 is the definition of dominance. The French Open is also a major - it's most certainly not just "a single open" - all the best players are playing each year.
To put it in golf terms; if Justin Thomas won the next 12 straight PGA Championships he would still have a lower win rate than Nadal at the French Open. To be that much better than all your peers - when your peers are both the other best players in history - is absurd.

The sports world in general misses out when greatness such as he doesn’t participate.

Watching Tiger play the Masters is one of my favorite things.

He was involved in a car crash that almost killed him two years ago now. This is his first PGA Tour event since then. They essentially had to re-build his entire right leg it was so badly damaged. So it’s pretty impressive that he’s even able to walk let alone be competitive in a tournament with the best players in the world.
Before this accident he had a lot of other issues involving his back and “marital issues” that really impacted his career and longevity.
Basically it’s just a miracle the guy can still play golf.

Every time I read or hear his name my brain rhymes it to “Eric the Enemy”. Anyone else have this problem

There’s basically no one running the Washington franchise at this point. It’s way worse than the Jets or Texans.
It’ll probably be sold at some point in the next year.

I wouldn’t bet on any kind of long term future in Washington for any of those coaches. Rivera probably would have been fired after this past season if there was anyone actually running the franchise.
Once it gets sold, I’d expect new management to come in and clear house from top to bottom.

He’s had 12 head coaching interviews. Including for multiple teams who have went on to hire minority coaches
I would agree that early on it looked bad on the league, but at this point Occam’s razor would say that Bienemy is just terrible in interviews and probably hasn’t been able to illustrate a coherent plan for how to run a team.

I mean there’s never gonna be another tiger. That’s not debatable. Golf as a sport tho has been doing fine tho. A lot of growth over the last decade or so specially during Covid and after a lot of people who never stepped on a course before got into the game because there wasn’t much else to do. The PGA might need to find another face, although they do have Rory but the actual sport of golfing isn’t suffering

I would say Rory is the closest like popularity wise to tiger and attention wise but it’s still not even close.

The shoulder shrug says it all.
This seems like he was the third man in a fight which would have been a game misconduct ejection even without the glove.

He’s big in golf, but Tiger Woods at that age already transcended his own sport and was a global icon.

Agree with all that. But again if we’re talking dominance over a sport hard to limit to a single surface that represents a quarter of the season.

No idea what you're even trying to say. Try not being so subtle and just scream something about trump so we know you're a moron without wasting any more of our time.

I don’t agree with the significant need. Hour flights between Burbank to Oak are and have been cost reasonable and traffic between and outside the cities does not suffer congestion problems. It would make more sense between LA and SD.
