Job Thread
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) I'm 26 and I'm getting to this point in my life. All my friends in relationships are hardly around anymore. Had some weddings for some friends within 2-4 years older than me last year, which I refer to as "the first wave." My other friends about the same age as me are starting to get engaged so there will be a decent amount of weddings between the next year-4 years I think. Yep, this is right where I am with all my friends getting engaged/married/moving in with their significant others. Meanwhile I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 5 years. I have a new girlfriend, and she's great, but now I'm on the step of finding a new job. I'm looking for something in the Account Executive or Sales role so if anyone knows of or recommends anywhere I'd love to check stuff out. I live right next to the train station in Lisle and am not opposed to finding something downtown. The new girlfriend lives in the Gold Coast so it might help out that as well.

2017 Masters/Golf Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 07:40 AM) My game gets messed up by my grip and grip pressure as well as shoulder level. I'll start yanking or blocking depending on my issues. Sometimes you need a reset or have someone you play with tell you what they see. In my last 8 rounds, I've had 7 sub 90 rounds including an 82 in my last which is my lowest ever. Previously in my life I had only shot sub 90 twice and I've played 20+ rounds a year the last three years since i started playing again. I really wish I hadn't quit for five years starting my senior year of high school. Golf is both the most rewarding, and frustrating sport. It sure is fun to be playing this well though.

Soooooo, if anybody knows anyone that got tickets to the Royal Blood show at Lincoln Hall 8/4 the night before their Lolla show, and they're willing to sell... I refuse to go to Lolla and I'd pay a nice dollar amout to see that show.

Both are amazing. Prefer to just eat it with a spoon after cutting in half.

2017 Masters/Golf Thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) If the conditions would have been that way all week, it would have been much more exciting. That being said, Brooks is a good guy. I've bet on him a few times to win majors, just not this one unfortunately. Still waiting on Ricky to put it all together... Excited for the Open Championship now! Brooks at 45/1 was a nice win for me. Would really love for Rickie to finally win a big one. Just can't do it on Sundays.

*Official* Work Out Thread
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) Anyone else subscribe to beachbody on demand? I've been doing the T25 workouts with my wife as well as mixing in some yoga a couple times a week. Might jump into the insanity stuff next. I did Insanity a few years ago. It's a doozie. I definitely got in better shape from it and saw results. If I had my diet dialed in a little better while doing it I would have seen better. It is very tough though, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

*Official* Work Out Thread
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 06:27 AM) There is nothing wrong with doing this from time to time. But if you do it all the time, you’re fighting against your own goals and making workouts (if designed to lose weight) less effective. What he said^ I have my own system that works for me because I'm happy exactly where I'm at. I'm 27 now. When i was a freshman in college I realized i had a bit of a weight problem and was unhappy and depressed with it. 5'10", 230 lbs. Over the course of 6 months I lost 70 lbs by cutting drinking anything with sugar (besides beer) and stopped eating fried foods and exercising more. Once I got down to 160 I started weight lifting and put on about 15 lbs of muscle over the course of the next few years. I took this passion and experience into being a personal trainer at a private gym for 2 years after graduating. I am no longer a personal trainer as I work a desk job now, but I still hang in the 175 lb range, except I've cut my body fat down and can see my abdominal muscles. I'm not that "no fun" guy that won't touch certain foods or anything like that. Pretty much, Monday until Friday after the gym I eat very healthy and workout every day. Whether its weights, going for a run, playing basketball, or softball, I keep things mixed up to still be enjoyable. Meal prep for the week on Sundays, have the same breakfast/lunch/dinner and I'm around 2000-2500 calories a day. Weekends I do whatever and eat and drink as much as I want. I know it won't work for everyone but I've found my happy place. I don't gain any weight, or lose any weight.

If you were comfortably rich, what would you do?
I'd golf a lot. Travel all the time. Probably own a place in suburban Chicago where I live now around Lisle/DG/Naperville. Buy a condo downtown Chicago. Buy a nice home in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Probably try to get ownership in some sort of sports team. Something MLS probably with plenty of room to grow.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) You never know what's going on behind the scenes. Hope Matta is okay and there isn't something looming. Thad's had some health issues. AD Gene Smith said that on court performance earned him another year but recruiting was the final straw.

Vacation/Travel Thread
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) Leaving on our honeymoon at the end of the month. All inclusive in Mexico, anything we should pack that you normally wouldn't think about? Got sunscreen and bug spray for sure, trying to think of other things that would be really useful What resort you heading to? First time to an all inclusive? I usually bring a bunch of $1's, about $150-200 if we're there for 7 nights. They say tips are included in the price, but you really can get some great service all week by tipping. Goes a long way.

2017 NFL Draft Thread
QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Also, I get the whole idea of drafting a guy ahead of slot due to the needs of the franchise. I about flipped my s*** when TEN drafted Davis 5 overall as I thought that was waaaayyy too early, then I saw the only other 2 decent (3 if you count McCaffrey) WR go right after us in the top 10 picks. That said, TEN didn't trade away 4 draft picks for that privilege. Also helps the Titans had the other 1st Round pick to address their need later in a secondary stacked draft. I liked that pick a lot at 5. Kinda like the Saints did as well, except they hit the lottery with Lattimore at that pick. He should have been off the board before that.

2017 NFL Draft Thread
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 08:30 AM) They were eligible but HBO picked the Bucs. But they will most likely be eligible next summer, unless Fox gets fired. Ah you're right. Never saw that. Bummer.

Slept on it, still don't like the pick. Time will tell. Also...Sooooo the Bears just made themselves prime candidates out of the 8 eligible teams to be picked for HBO's Hard Knocks right?

Sports Media discussion
I feel the way most of you do. I only watch ESPN if a game is on, or a 30 for 30 here and there. Otherwise, it's MLB network QuickPitch in the morning before work during the season, or sportsman channel during the off season.
