PGA Tour (Official Thread)

Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open, breaking his 78 made cuts in a row streak, which was the second longest streak of all time behind 90-something by Tiger. The current longest streak is now 27 by Matt Fitzpatrick. Meanwhile, on the LPGA Tour, world #1 Nelly Korda also missed the cut, breaking her 34 made cuts in a row streak. I imagine that if one had parlayed prop bets on both of those things happening, one would be in high cotton.

Edit: I asked Google what the estimated parlay payout would have been for a $10 bet and, with explained assumptions and showing its arithmetic, it said $1,540.

College Football Playoffs Expansion Discussion

Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)
It's actually 8 from north of that line, and 4 from south. I was mistaken about Georgia. I think I read that Athens is at 33d 57', and mistook that for 33.57 degrees.

Georgia Bulldogs (2021-2022 National Champions & Excellent Drivers)

Maybe, just Maybe - the quality of coaches has significantly ASCENDED in the B1G and outside of CKS, the coaching talent has dived in the SEC.

These are 2025 Numbers:




Source (Goggle Gemini)
Query: "amount of money spent in NIL on football in the BIG 10 vs SEC in 2024 and 2025"

Based on the numbers - SEC programs like Texas and A&M should be royally pissed off for overpaying for average results
The Dawgs spent 14mm less, won the league and failed to win the title. Not ideal, but not "broke boi football"

Poking fun at SEC teams is all well and good, but if you want me to bitch and moan about the quality of Georgia football, when we are in the best decade long stretch of my lifetime, you've come to the wrong place my dude.

WR Devin McCuin (Official Thread)

This. They didn't see the field until they met the Hartline standard and we repeatedly saw the results in the guys' second and third years. That said, there is much to be said for getting actual game experience along the way and the NIL era is going to require more rotation, even at tOSU. I also love the idea of wearing DBs the fuck out with fresh horses the whole game, even if that just means making them run deep blasts and working them. I can't imagine anyone's DB depth matching our WR depth, while our younger guys lack experience, they're all fast.
Right, and it’s a long season. There’s no need for JJ Smith to be on the field in the second half when we are up 35-0. That’ll save the legs for the room which will pay off late in the year. We nearly didn’t have either of our top WRs going down the stretch last year due to injury.

2028 GA WR Madoxx Davis (Verbal Offer)

11W Forums

Tom Loy on Madoxx Davis:

I still believe Ohio State is setting the bar early for the Georgia native, who is originally from New Jersey. The Buckeyes continue to cause Davis to light up with a smile from ear to ear when he talks about them. That said, this recruitment is far from over. We'll see where he visits this fall, and we will see which schools continue to move the needles for him as time progresses.
Loy mentioned that Clemson, LSU, Florida and Ole Miss will be involved. Georgia and Miami are two others that are lingering as well.
Davis has just two game day visits planned so far, Ohio State vs Michigan and Alabama vs Georgia.

When did poker become a sport?

Just sayin': I still don't consider poker a sport....

Over 9K players in WSOP chasing $10M top prize

With registration now closed, the $10,000 World Series of Poker main event is underway in earnest with the fourth-largest field in its history.

The 2026 edition of professional poker's de facto world championship has 9,208 players competing for a $10 million top prize from a pool of $85.6 million, the third consecutive year for that specific first prize. The top 1,382 players will receive a payout, with $1 million payouts beginning at ninth place.

The numbers are a bit short of the 9,735 entrants to last year's tournament, as well as the record 10,112 players in 2024 and $12.1 million first prize won by Daniel Weinman in 2023. That said, the WSOP main event exceeded 9,000 players for the fourth year in a row after breaking the barrier for the first time in 2023.

"We're proud of the staying power this strong entrant number represents," World Series of Poker CEO Ty Stewart said in a statement. "The WSOP continues to draw players from around the world for poker's most prestigious event. Now, the focus turns to watching a new legend unfold."

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is back to defend his main event title after pocketing $10 million as last year's champion, his eighth WSOP bracelet. Mizrachi claimed his ninth bracelet by winning the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha championship just days before the main event began.

Michael Rossitto is the current chip leader at 770,500, with Jeff Fenster (747,000), Yannick Schumacher (738,000), Robert Gill (728,500) and Joseph Baghdadlian (705,000) all above the 700,000 threshold. Benny Glaser and Shaun Deeb, who also won their ninth bracelets at WSOP events earlier this summer, are at 193,000 chips and 368,500 chips, respectively.

"It's the one no-miss tournament of the year. If you're available and you have the 10K [buy-in], you're going to show up and play," Jack Effel, SVP of poker operations at Caesars Entertainment, which runs the event, told ESPN before the start. "You could be a professional poker player, not play any tournaments of the year, you're not going to miss the main event most likely. So with that said, I think it's going to be a great turnout as it always is."

The WSOP main event is back on ESPN platforms for the first time in over a decade. Play resumes on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.

Detroit Tigers (4x World Series Champions)

Tigers' Justin Verlander to retire after 2026 season

"I never wanted to retire because of a milestone, a number, or a date on the calendar. I wanted the game to tell me when it was time. Over the last several months, I've realized that time has come."...Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers

Just sayin': Similar to pussy, "father time" is also undefeated.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

So I guess an NBA career is out of the question?
Re: Fraud involving over $500,000 generally carries severe penalties ranging from 2 to 30 years in prison, depending on whether it is prosecuted at the state or federal level. Fines can reach up to $1,000,000, with mandatory restitution for victims

Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say his NBA career is (at least) on hold for betweem 2 to 30 years.
