Home plate umpire is giving Renfro nothing on the left side of home plate. Threw three straight strike threes that umpire turned into a walk

I dont understand why that is generous? 105 football scholarships is well more than is needed for the players going pro if that is your argument. There are ~77,000 college football al players and only ~1700 pro players. If the average career is 3 years then less than 1% are going pro. So i dont see how that applies. The football players are there because they want to compete at that level, not because it's a career.

But we can play the same game with baseball which is 11.7 scholarships for 27 players (teams will be limited to 26 next year). Lots of baseball players go pro. According to NCAA, 9.1% of college baseball players go pro. That's way better than football.

Also why should we give some one a scholarship to a university if they are going to have a career in sports, they don't need a degree. There's no degree requirement for the NFL or NBA. Let the swimmers get an education cause it's unlikely they are going to get paid swimming.

Agree the right profile for growth is 100% stocks. I wonder where my TSP balance would be if the first 4.5 years of my career weren't in the G Fund. I remember filling out the allocation (some mix of C/S/I, I remember the acronym), I guess they just never applied it and I never checked. Been catching up 100% in stocks ever since. Putting in 12% right now, almost 24 years in.

"Economists have been calling for a recession for a while"

What's the old joke? Something like economists have correctly predicted 9 out of the last 3 recessions.

Jokes aside, everyone has to follow their risk tolerance. Having 3 decades of investment experience, I've learned to just roll with it. Made the mistake of splitting my initial investments 50:50 into an Index 500 fund and a Treasury Fund. Continued to invest over the years in the same ratio for those 2 funds. Same dollar amount invested over the years and 100% of all dividends reinvested and the stock market index fund is worth ~5.5x the treasury fund. Long term, people are way better in stocks and not trying to time things.

But - more important than any of that - you have to be comfortable with your allocation, so you should stay out as long as you feel uncomfortable. But I do kick myself thinking how much more I would have right now if I was 100% stock investing and not 50:50 when I was in my mid-20s.

Very underrated reply. Well played 👏🏻.

I thought of posting this exact thing last night.....great minds think alike!

LMAO

You should be able to find a demo day from an OEM nearbye this time of year. You'll have to make an appointment with them, but it's free and they'll fit you right. Sometimes you will get lucky and see TM and Cally at the same place on the same day, occasionally accompanied by Ping and/or Taylormade.

If you want to do the $100 fitting, it does translate into the purchase price at that store. The value is what you behold yourself, honestly. Don't feel bad about getting numbers or set up from them from the fitting and shopping elsewhere either. It's your dollar.

I guess the question in my mind is.......HOW? How the fuck are they recruiting bigger faster stronger than we are? What the actual fuck?

Option C- Go get a ping fitting- they are usually free. Also seek out demo days (free) at local courses near you- then you can try things out on the range.

I always used to put a big pat of butter on top of the potatoes before cooking. Helped a lot with some pepper.
