   President Trump relaxes military obligation for service academy athletes

   https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/14/sports/ncaafootball/trump-army-navy-waivers-military.html Army/Navy/Air Force athletes who wish to compete as pros may now do so immediately upon graduation, and have their 5 year military service requirement deferred until they retire from athletics. Didn't David Robinson get a special deferment, due to being a consensus All-American basketball player for the Naval Academy in the mid 1980s?

   anyone watching? the world team smacked the US on thursday, 4-1. Tiger and JT got the lone US point. the two of them played very well together and were matched again for fridays matches. they're playing at the royal melbourne golf course, and those greens are as slick as glass. they were hoping to get them up to 14 (!) on the stimp meter. hoping to watch more action when i get home from work this afternoon. it's being televised by the golf channel.

   UCLA'S QB

   He goes by either TRD or TDR. There is no reason to spend a calorie trying to learn his name, because this bum isn't long for big time football. Against Cincinnati Thursday night, he had as bad a game a qb can have without throwing Nathan Peterman-like picks. Two fumbles in the red zone - without being touched. And they weren't mishandled snaps. Terrible accuracy. Terrible footwork. Terrible decisions. He did have a 75 yard td that was a 15 yard hitch, and the wr broke a tackle. It is hard to believe that TRD/TDR didn't have money on Cincinnati. Same goes for Chip Kelly.

   Are we supposed to treat the LA Wildcats as a new franchise, or just a renaming of the LA Extreme? I want to know if we are going into the season as defending Champs, or just 1 of 8 teams. I'll be sitting here hitting refresh until I have my answer.

    Does Tiger win major #16 this week? Who ya got? Bethpage is long and difficult, and it's got a lot of moisture on it right now. Don't know how much it's going to dry out this week. We'll see that "Bethpage is a difficult course" sign about a gazillion times this week. It's already on overkill on twitter.

    Dustin Johnson is kicking tail at Kapalua. Just hit a drive on a par 4 that left him with a 6 inch putt for eagle. i'm firmly convinced my mojo rubbed off on him from when i was hitting putts on THE VERY SAME PRACTICE GREEN HE USED when i visited there in August. You're welcome, DJ. With a win today, that'll give him at least one win in 11 consecutive years.Tiger won in 14 straight years, while Jack won at least once 17 consecutive years.

    This is a really big deal and I think that over time we'll probably see a huge change in how the sport is played and there will be significant rule changes. I honestly am having reservations about the watching the sport itself, despite the fact that I love it so much. It's just not good for the participants. It's REALLY bad.
