The two cheap-ass public courses I like to play in Dallas have dirt bunkers. Sand? Hell. I'd take the kitty litter sand you find in a playground sand box. I've started just taking my ball from the bunker and playing a pitch shot to the hole.

Thanks for the book recommendation. Just ordered "Summer of '68." Right in my wheelhouse. I was a Cardinals fan and a blissful 14-year-old during one of the most tumultuous summers in this country's history.

This is a Hall of Fame photo.

Marble mouth Mike Shannon had probably downed a 12-pack of Budweisers before making that comment.

Now, THAT'S a movie.

Yeah, shame on me for asking for logic is a completely make believe movie. But where the flock did Ethan Hunt get a backup chute?

We saw "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning*." The last movie where I chuckled at the stupid script and made snide comments to my wife about the unlikely plot was "Top Gun: Maverick." No need for me to point out the common denominators. While TG:M copied and pasted from the original TG, it...

Sorry, SJers, but I'm too lazy to post links. I'll just list the songs. And perhaps they're more "statements" than protests: War, Edwin Starr The Times They Are A-Changing, Dylan For What It's Worth, Buffalo Springfield Eve of Destruction, Barry McGuire Rockin' in the Free World, Neil Young Sail...

Best L&O episode in the last 10 years, IMHO.

I remember in high school listening to the race on the radio (I lived in Missouri). It was actually an interesting listen. Howdy Bell with the overall PbP, throwing it to other announcers around the track.

If it hasn't been said already... Rick Carlisle is a damn good NBA coach.

The fact that the Pancake Makeup Prez might have thrown his considerable weight around in addition to the fact that Pete Rose violated a sacred rule... should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? That's a hard no from me, dawg.
