between his dad, his injuries, his divorce and his pecker, I'm thinking he's had a few distraction lately!

He's still undoubtedly the most talented golfer in the world. It's going to take him longer than most expected to regain his confidence, but it's not like he needs to start all over again. With time he'll be back and I think he still breaks Jack's record.

Tiger's 'serenity' sounds like insanity

If you thought Tiger Woods was being overpaid this week merely to play in Dubai, sit down and duct-tape yourself to your chair.

For Woods, who is being paid a reported $3 million to play this week in the Dubai Desert Classic as part of a multi-year contract that was signed before his well-chronicled sex scandal of last year, that's chump change.

The Arabian Business Journal, which claimed it had seen actual documents and contracts, says Woods was paid $55 million before he even touched a shovel or drafting pencil as part of a design and promotional deal for a now-defunct course he supposedly designed in Dubai.

Nobody at IMG is denying it. The U.K. paper the Guardian asked his agent, Mark Steinberg, if he wanted to comment on the staggering figures contained in the report, and Steinberg declined.

For the sake of comparison, for an established architect like Jack Nicklaus, a $2 million fee is considered at the high end of the scale as compensation for designing a new course.

The Al Ruwaya project, as it was dubbed, was doomed from the start, a casualty of the real estate bust that has seen property values drop by 50 percent in the Dubai area. Last week, the developer of the Woods project pulled the plug and said the half-dozen holes that were completed -- no homes were ever erected -- would likely be allowed to return to a natural desert state.

Insert joke here: Al Ruwaya translates to "serenity," and for Woods' bank account, that has certainly been the case.

Gee, hard to believe that a once cash-rich region that forked over this type of money to a player who has never completed an actual course design would now be struggling financially. huh?

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
