Wow ... he's now in a total rush - changed putters this AM and now his substitute caddie is kind of letting him go off the rails ... 5 shot lead about to be gone completely

Anyone else just see that headline?

I did not realize that our four new teams would not be in our bowl games. See

“Nebraska baseball product Stan Bahnsen was an MLB pitcher for 16 seasons across three decades. He threw his final career pitch with what team in 1982?”

=================================

Answer:

Philadelphia Phillies

So my last group of the year is traditionally this Wounded Warriors group that comes up each year to fish, adventure, but most importantly sit around the campfire and talk. The group leading the operation, Alaska Adventure Project, brings them to the lodge and I take them out - yesterday we pulled in a dozen salmon and 300+ shrimp, which we then ate at dinner. But by far the best part of the day was listening to the stories around the campfire. The AAP group is all veterans who have seen combat, and one of them is a former SEAL, so some of the things I heard last night were really straight out of movies-type stuff. I would never repeat what they said, but I can say this:

• Although Iraq/Baghdad sucked, the stories they talk about from their time in Afghanistan are the ones that blow your mind. Of the 9 out here right now, all were either Marines or Navy, and all were in both theaters. But the mountains and terrain (and some of the fighters) of the Korangal Valley sound almost mythical when you hear about them.
• "Looking someone in the eye who is trying to kill you is the experience few people feel, but stays with you forever." Heard that last night.
• These veterans light up when they are around people who have gone through similar situations, and that's why I think programs like this are vitally important.
• So after dinner last night we all went out to the deck to hang out - beautiful sunset, no bugs, and started a campfire. That's when the stories came out, each person detailing something they remember. Then, after about an hour, they naturally broke out into smaller groups, with an AAP member with a Warrior. At that point I left to give privacy, but I could easily tell that the mentoring and guidance AAP was giving those guys was crucial to their survival back in the real world. Once this bond is formed there now is a new group of cell phone numbers to call when you are having a down turn in life - and you just see that bond getting stronger the longer they are out here.

Just wanted to share that quick story. Off for more coho fishing, shrimp pot pulling, and then leading an evening free-dive for scallops (devil's on horseback sound fantastic). Season ends tomorrow!

Per Matt Rhule just now, starting ILB Javin Wright will be out indefinitely. Rhule didn't say why, only that it was because of a health condition. Wright has been with the team.

My favorite player on the roster for 2024. Man, how can you not like and respect this guy? Hope he stays healthy and his rehab, hard work, and ATTITUDE pays off!! Login to view embedded media

Rhule opened practice for about 30 minutes today. Here are some quick observations:

Bought a Ryobi Electric Mower https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396040244# a month ago, not overly impressed with it. It does have it's good points, but doesn't seem to be the gas equivalent or better I was wanting. Mind you, I'm mowing 2X a week in July. I got it on the 2nd highest setting, going as slow as it will go and taking only 1/2 a cut. Still leaving stragglers and clumping a little bit. I don't mind coughing up more $$ at this point, to get a premium mower.

Wondering what anybody else has, they're really happy with?

Thanks,
GBR

Our men's team has been historically bad with these over the past bazillionty years, with a disqualification or two ruining an almost guaranteed gold. They weren't very crisp with it again today but they certainly looked better than the Canadians. I don't get it. We always used the underhand method and never had an issue. It just seems like a more fluid motion with little room for error. But one has to assume that the two have been exhaustively compared over the years with the overhand coming out on top. It just seems like a waste when you have a big edge in speed but manage to blow it with a handoff.
