Speaking of social media outrage, how about Josh Hader's tweets from when he was 17 getting released during the All-Star game last night? N-Bombs, Gafs, #MeToo offenses, the works.

I'll give people a pass for saying stupid crap when they are 17, but what freaking planet does this guy live in where he never once thought to himself, "wow, a lot of people seem to get in hot water over tweets, maybe I should go back and delete the tweets where I just said 'KKK' or perhaps the one where I said 'I'm a triply n-word'"?
1. If you have a modicum of fame, delete everything you've ever posted on social media. This seems easy.

2. What I really hate is how these things get brought up. USA Today dragged the stuff Donte DiVincenzo posted on Twitter when he was 14 like 2 seconds after he got Final Four MVP and their story said something like "Controversial tweets by Donte DiVincenzo have surfaced." First off, that's passive voice so you're already doing journalism wrong. Secondly, "have surfaced?" You surfaced them. Get pumped.

Honestly, the outrage is much more from fans who are outraged that anyone is outraged over a really old tweet, not from people who are actually outraged over the really old tweet.

If that makes sense.

“The media” does a fantastic job of creating controversy and hysteria where it doesn’t really exist.

Alpe d'Huez today in the TDF...let's see how things shake out after that climb.

Anyone know a way to stream the race?

I little overkill on the memes the last two days, people.

Channeling their inner DJT, and replacing would with wouldn’t, could with couldn’t, should with shouldn’t, etc....



...and by a little, I mean not a single F’ing one is actually funny.

I’m sure Kyle Tucker will land another writing gig soon because he’s good and more than likely already has something lined up. If his new job does not revolve around UK, I’m out. Following him in July is tough enough with all of his “snowflake outbursts,” but if there is no payoff in the fall, what’s the point? Thing is, I tend to agree with the basis of many of his grievances, but the way he does it, coupled with his tone make me want to adopt the opposing view. He’s insufferable.

Shotes:

-Nice lil random hardcore Wednesday night last night -- wife passed out on the floor (her signature turbo drunk move) & I lost my wedding band. :raised_hands:

-72 Yesterday.

-I can hardly watch all these Van de Velde specials, just makes me very uncomfortable and sad. Just the dumbest thing I've ever seen in sports, and pretty sure it will never be topped.

-So is nobody here going to Barbasol?

-Bob's Steakhouse tomorrow night.

-Carnoustie couldn't play any easier than it is today I don't think, and it's still showing it's teeth to most. Gonna be a very interesting week. :golf:

-Windbreaker after dark last night, that's what I'm talking about. :fire:

- Once again, Sportswriter, just because you majored in journalism doesn’t mean you know more about sports than the rest of us insurance salesmen.

- I ASK YOU, GYERO- where has the R&B gone?????

- F off, Soccerfan.

- Which one of you shadeballs tried to use my credit card to buy $95 worth of stuff at an Atlanta gas station yesterday?

- I won’t apologize- I love me some casual joggers.

- You know, Wife, maybe we could have an inexpensive evening out if EVERY drink you ordered wasn’t $10+. I can go to High Life in a pinch. This chick can’t go lower than a sawbuck.

- Remember when PTI was King of the Windbreaker? Wore it better than anyone else. Now, it’s disgusting toes, yoga Facebook posts and highbrow political trolling.

- SAE’s longing to be a NKYball is adorbs.

My credit card can DIAF. If I spend a nickle in Tennessee or some other state, my card automatically gets flagged and locked down. But if it rings up a $400 bill at some gas station in Buttf**k, Kentucky, everything is cool and chill. GD Russians.

-I have very little for NKY. As far as Kentucky is concerned, I live right where I want to.

-I will still order Papa John's pizza and enjoy with the same voraciousness that those who know me expect.

-Tulsa (again) for Labor Day weekend to visit her family. Speaking of unexpected credit card charges. Damn it.

-Got Justin Thomas at +2000 to win The Open. I mean, I know those probably aren't good odds but I mean those are pretty good odds for a nice lil $10 bet.

-Coming around on toasted deli sandwiches tbh. Warm turkey/ham with spicy mustard is undeniable.

-Dealing blackjack at a country club tonight for my buddy's member-member. He's the house. Might be dope.

-Strawberry-Banana is your #1 fruit combination.

-New house replacement/needs list:

1. Roof
2. Shutters
3. 2nd floor hardwood floors

While that Alabama college student walking to work thing is heartwarming and all, the suspicious of 19-year old college kids side of me believes the guy was partying with his buddies (it was Friday night), got drunk, had his ride fall through for the next morning, and then said "eff it - I'm walking", perhaps even as a challenge. This, if true, would be quite hilarious considering they gave him a car and raised $50K for him on GoFundMe.
