I thought Tiger and Jack said the PGA was righteous and pure. I wonder how much money changed hands to make this love fest happen. The tour abruptly switched from Saudi Arabia LIV Golf being the devil and unpatriotic to now the PGA is merging with Saudi Arabia and the European Tour to join forces for the future of golf. To the editor: The Fab Four sang "Money can’t buy me love," but they never met the PGA Tour. Oller: Saudis big winner in merger with PGA Tour, which should put tail between its legs In a flash, accusations of sports-washing, and worse, went away, and now it’s all about “the good of the game.” In any merger (of equals?) there are hundreds of details to work out: do we do A, B, C your way or our way? PGA tournaments last 72 holes with 156 players while LIV events last 54 holes with 48 participants. Can we look forward to future tournaments covering 63 holes with 102 golfers, half in shorts and half in long pants? FDR nixed the idea, and for his efforts the ultra-pragmatic Kennedy was branded a traitor and Nazi sympathizer. Switching to the golf wars, it appears a well-connected lawyer told the PGA it would lose an antitrust case to the wildly unpopular, gimmick-riddled though richly endowed LIV tour and thus the PGA might be wise to negotiate with the devil you know ASAP. Kennedy, father of the future president − counseled president Roosevelt that the Nazis were going to win the war in Europe and FDR might be wise to begin negotiations with Hitler based on that assumption. Also, they certainly are making headlines now with the courtship of Babcock and the trade for Pride hater Ivan Provorov. To Jeff, Doug: It seems the Blue Jacket s fluctuate between nice guys and tough guys at coach, and now are hitting an extreme. Who could possibly think Babcock and his domineering personality will bring the best out of those who answer to him in this era? This is a bad hire, plain and simple.

For that matter, the front office is full of young adults who don't respond to being manipulated by elder "gurus" either.

The CBJ has a lot of players who have not been screamed at, insulted and demeaned in their development. Young adults respond to instructional guidance and collaborative leadership. Our players are from a different generation than is Babcock.

Babcock has won a lot of games and titles with a salty, aggressive, demeaning "old school" kind of style. NHL: Columbus Blue Jackets and Mike Babcock: 3 things to know about the likely CBJ coachĭear Brian: Apparently the CBJ are waiting out the end of Mike Babcock's current contract before giving him the job as head coach.

In light of that, why would any of our players want to stay in Columbus, and why would any free agent consider coming here? If we’re ever to have a successful team, ownership must change, and the entire front office swept clean and sterilized. What could possibly go wrong by placing a blisteringly toxic personality in charge of developing them? This is something it seems only the Blue Jackets would consider. What a brilliant move to make when you have a young team with talent but much yet to learn. To the editor: So it appears the most pathetic team with the absolute worst front office in NHL history is about to hire a coach who is a bully, verbal and mental abuser, and, as several of his past players have said, “the worst person I’ve ever met," "zero respect," "scumbag." Now, those are glowing recommendations, for sure. Have more comments, questions? Reach out to me at On the Columbus Blue Jackets and Mike Babcock
