[jebartle]

for $750 million. Sure getting ugly. Never a fan of Reed.

Better yet, look at who his attorney is. Not a good track record. Doubt that this suit is on a contingency basis.

Actually, the lawsuit is for defamation, is his reputation worth 750 million?????

Did take the time to read it. I am not an atorney, but do feel that our courts would be tied up for years if everyone could and did file similar suits against any and all of the news channels when and if they felt they were defamed. Bet endorsers of Mr. Reed did not take away sponsorships based upon what Mr. Chamblee et al said or did. Have never seen a player who has worn so many different logo'd baseball hats.

Sure that there was a lot of derogatory remarks made when Tiger Woods wrecked car which led to his divorce, pulled over for DUI and his latest accident.

Can't stand Chamblee.

The Golf Channel and Chamblee do need to tone it down, it's becoming unwatchable. Lawsuit probably isn't really amount the money as it is to get Chamblee to pull in the reigns a little bit.

ever notice when golfers talk about other things, other than golf, that they aren't too bright?
Johnson and Koepka are lucky that they make a living golfing. both are a couple of dumbskies.

His reputation isn’t worth much unless charges of cheating on the course and stealing in the locker room count. A shady guy from the get go. I wanted to say character, but he has none.

Thanks! It was a funny and amusing read. This is an example of why there are so many lawyer jokes!

Reduced my Golf Channel viewing by quite a bit over the last year...like other Pro Sports, they & PGA getting a little too "woke".

You mean like the 3M tournament where they felt it necessary to interview 3M's "chief" "diversity and inclusion" officer???? Just how many "diversity and inclusion" officers does 3M need, and why do people who just want to watch golf have to hear from them?

Now don't get me wrong---there's nothing wrong with diversity and inclusion. But I believe it should be the result of hiring well qualified people who worked hard to earn their position, not a goal unto itself.

When I perceive any WOKE stuff on any channel or such, I UNWAKE very quickly and turn them off. This Woke crap is one of the most irritating things to happen in the last few years. I don’t hate much stuff, but the Wokeness does it for me…. Grrrr.

Reed is a known cheat was found out as early as his college days and now he has to live by what his actions are/were!!

Seems like most sports are getting boring.

Like him or hate him, the dude can golf. When visiting his grandparents in the Villages he shot a 63 at Havana (Hemingway to Kilimanjaro) from the tips to tie the course record.

I started watching "The Captain" a documentary about Derek Jeter on ESPN+, I should've known when I saw Spike Lee was the executive producer it was going to be a disaster.
And sure enough it wasn't a documentary,it was an agenda about racism. Half of the episodes were about racism and they even brought up George Floyd's and started showing the riots. What does George Floyd have to do with baseball player Derek Jeter.
I couldn't finish watching it, I was really surprised that Derek let them use his great reputation for this crap.

63 in TV, he was having a bad day. :gc:

[mike234]

I am glad he has stood up and taken on those who label him a cheater. and I wish someone, who is continually called a racist, by media members, and news outlets, and others, steps up and files suit on that ridiculous label.

I agree with you on the two. Chamblee and especially the Golf Channel.
