US Open Recap

The Course -

Merion held up it's end of the bargain.  A winning score of plus 1 is what the PGA wants.  Choosing Merion is like playing at Fenway park.  Not only do the players have to make concessions, but the press, and the fans feel the limitations.  This is what the PGA wanted and despite a few logistical nightmares, and a few player complaints, everything seems to have gone well.  Just don't ask Rick Reilly.  He had a different opinion and some smug 300+ reasons as to why it shouldn't return.  Way to give credit to everyone who worked so hard to pull this off and make it an overall success.

The Golf -

Something about a US Open adds additional pressure to the players.  Long rough, history, the gallery, whatever it may be.  Consistency is what wins.  Overall, it wasn't that exciting, and again, you feel like that's exactly what the PGA wants in a US Open.

The Gear -

Phil comes in second for the 6th time in a US Open with no driver in the bag.

And these pants were worn.  Nice work by RLX making some waves with an exciting young player and generating some buzz.

Russel Brand Grills MSNBC Anchors

An absolute must watch as Russell Brand successfully grills/deconstructs three talking heads after they shamelessly ignore and insult him, even forgetting his name.  He wins on multiple fronts, proving he has an IQ higher than all 3 combined, proving his superior knowledge of current events and ability to formulate an educated opinion, and also generates an enormous amount of internet buzz.  Did you know what the Messiah Complex was before this?  Would you even know Russell Brand was on Morning Joe today?  exactly.

Skip to the 5 minute mark for the good stuff.  Watch the first 5 minutes if you want to know why he did it.

And We're Back

We're changing gears.  It was ambitious to believe one could cover a 162 Yankees season and have enough quality content to blog.  Aside from being a sabermetric junky, which I'm not, or a member of the baseball tonight crew, I simply do not have enough Baseball to talk about.

Going forward - I'll be covering a wide range of topics.  In fact, you may never know when or what you're going to get.  It could be the news.  It could be the PGA tour.  It could be the Yankees.  It could be an album review.  The sheer randomness of it all will hopefully portray a lifestyle of motion and activity.  If I find it interesting, I'll try and get it here.   Up to you what you do with it from there.
