i think i took the first gamble of this draft by picking Rory... the way i see it he already has 4 major championships and that is already a top 50 player of all time... so if he did it so young there needs to be some assumption that he will only get better...

I disagree that it was a gamble. He was a great pick and I was debating about taking him but you made it easier once you took him right before me. He is going to be one of the greats when its all said and done.

My 8 year old cousin is a real good golfer, we should assume he's gonna get a lot better. Just playin my point is i'll judge McIlroy using what he's done so far, I will not assume anything...

McElroy is an all time great because 4 Majors is awesome, but I'm not projecting him past 4 either. 5 years ago, you probably could have got 1000/1 odds if you said Tiger wouldn't have another Major yet

I am watching The Ringer. I thought I would hate this movie when it first came out because I was afraid it would make fun of kids with disabilities. Well I was wrong its a funny movie and educates people.

Hey UK how about them boys?

Kirk Cousins has thrown at least 1 TD in every game he played this season. He also has broken the Redskins single-season passing record. He is now heading to the bench after throwing 2 TD's and putting Skins up 24-0. Can't believe Skins future QB will be KC.

I didn't say I didn't like him or that I didn't think he was a very good golfer I just said im not going to assume he wins a bunch more majors.

fair enough, just saying that for some of these legend golfers the reason they are so good is because of longevity... a player who is on the same league but doesn't have longevity might be a positive...

Skins have no choice but to pay him big money, but he doesn't project as elite IMO. Should be solid, as long as he's not asked to do too much

Fully agree their hands are tied to paying him big money or franchise tag.

Oh no milk. You forgot taking young players means death in these things. It doesn't matter if they're the best player at their sport or position. We won't give them credit until we see them decline too.

You forgot to mention that taking someone whos played only a few years means they will continue to do what they've done so far for 15 years and should be considered one of the greatest of all time now!
