Welcome into another week of work where we’re so far into the dog days of summer that the only sports options on the calendar today are WNBA games and the MLB Home Run Derby. Even the Tour de France has a day off to rest up.
But, Screencaps rolls on.
Let’s get the week rolling with some observations from the weekend:
- How do I know Disney is a mess of a company? Last night, my family watched an episode of America’s Funniest Videos where the show was giving away a trip on a Disney cruise for the funniest video. The battle was between a grandma who fell face first into her lawn and a cute toddler girl who got into a war of words with her father over taking a nap. The two families are on the set and then they bring out Mickey and Minnie. The little girl’s eyes light up. She’s happy. Smiling. The parents are pointing to the iconic mascots. They’re happy. Guess which video was picked as the winner?The Boomer grandma won. Granny and her old man cheered as the little girl and her family stood there in silence. I came unglued. First of all, it wasn’t the funnier video. Second, I thought this was Disney. How aren’t you rigging this so the little girl wins, Mickey and Minnie celebrate with the girl and the viewer is left feeling great about society? I’m not calling for something that the little girl didn’t deserve. HER VIDEO WAS BETTER.
- Let’s go to the American Century Championship where John O’Hurley was the worst golfer. Over three rounds, he had just two pars. Meanwhile, Charles Barkley, who, for years, was the worst golfer at this tournament, had just four doubles on Sunday on his way to shooting a 90. Chuck finished 69th. That was better than folks like Grant Hill, Baker Mayfield, the WNBA commissioner and Larry the Cable Guy. By the way, Rich Eisen finished worse than the woke WNBA commissioner. That should be good enough to be relegated into never appearing in this tournament again. It’s not all sunshine and roses for Charles. He still has a duff in the bag.
- The Goodyear blimp was flying over Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie on Sunday. There we were making our way to the shores of one of the greatest lakes in the world when out of nowhere, the blimp was hovering right over South Bass Island for some reason.
- Was it just me or was Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon vastly under-marketed. I didn’t even know he was fighting Saturday night.
- I might have caught the pickleball bug over the weekend thanks to my kids who sucked me in. My only issue is that I could see myself blowing out a knee at some point. I made a couple of cuts and my left knee could go out at any moment. My brain is telling me to go for spikes and make incredible attempts to run back to the baseline to hit shots, but my knees are paying the price. I’m thinking doubles might be more my speed.

Rob wants to critique my towel on my belt loop ‘look’
– Brian B. writes: For anyone that has sweety hands or just hits lots of balls on the range. Buy a rain glove. They last 10x longer then a normal glove and sweat will never be an issue agian. You can thank me later.
Kinsey: Here’s the beauty of the golf outing I go on – there’s not a Brian B. on the trip critiquing how guys look. Lighten up, Brian. In years past, guys wore their towels as their Ryder Cup gang colors. It’s not all about the sweat.
Travel ball…travel hockey…guaranteed scholarship
– Beer Guy Neil in Cleveland emails: I may have sent this to you before, but there was a travel hockey coach in Cleveland that said if you enroll your son in his academy as a squirt (10U) he would guarantee a college hockey scholarship. I mentioned that to a friend who is a financial adviser and he said if you invest all the money you’re going to spend on travel hockey, I’ll pay for your kid’s college. Reality hits hard
This should get a reaction from the TNML community
– RJ has a problem with the league and mowing: Stop drinking the kool-aid bro. Your lawn feeds your ego. Yes, creativity has been stifled in men. We are told to go to work, pay the bills, and shut up. Your green grass promotes high fuel prices, high grocery prices, and indicates to your fellow man a “better than” mentality. The grocery store offers poop and poison, while charging double for healthy foods, and you mow down nutritional value, while others go hungry. I hope you feel satisfied with your fake, accomplished nothing gonna do it again next week efforts. My yard would feed the entire neighborhood, if called upon to do so. And given the current climate of greed and destruction for profit, it just may.
Kinsey: You guys won’t be shocked to learn that RJ didn’t include a photo of his lawn.
And, finally this morning, what a run it was for Michigan athletics
What a run for Harbaugh and Warde. So many pleasant memories. At least the future Netflix documentary should be entertaining as they cut from the cheating scandal, to me in the courtroom for Sherrone Moore’s hearing.
