43-Year-Old Lucas Glover Overcame Severe Swamp Ass En Route To A Second Straight PGA Tour Win

At 43, Lucas Glover probably didn't envision himself winning back-to-back PGA Tour events. Good thing he pulled it off, because all anyone could talk about down the stretch was his sweaty ass. 

After winning the Wyndham Championship last week, he stayed hot (literally) by winning the St. Judes Championship, the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. He was ranked 49th in the official standings as of last week and now sits behind Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler at 4th overall. It's been an insane two week run for Glover and the Ryder Cup rumbles are suddenly louder (it should still be Justin Thomas). 

Up until 2021 when he won the John Deere Classic, Lucas Glover went 10 years in between wins on the PGA Tour. Good for him on the resurgence, but if he's gonna be thrust into the spotlight again winning tournaments and outgunning younger guys, he's gonna need to find some sweat-wicking pants. Anyone that golfs in any capacity during the summer months knows the struggle when it's hot. Hell, I play in shorts and I still generate steam heat to the point where my shorts become visibly sweaty if I'm not wearing the right material. Thankfully, I'm not on TV and any occasional swampiness isn't out there for the world to see.  

It was almost a tough scene for Lucas. All is forgiven because he did win and luckily his sopping wet butt pants are secondary to that. But every droplet of sweat that pooled in his lower back and down into his crack was on full display. Dudes be sweatin', Linksoul should know that. Linksoul is his clothing sponsor and I've known them to be a generally good golf brand so I won't publicly besmirch them but what the hell, guys? This was as bad as I can remember seeing and those pants failed the test. Scrap that design and start over.

There's only one man on record whose pants have accrued more sweat from his ass than Lucas Glover's did this week: Chris Berman.

Undoubtedly one of the GOATs as a sports broadcaster and personality. Also the King of Swass and it's not even close. 

I'm not sure there's a single sweatier individual on the planet. 

Again, good for Lucas Glover. I have no idea how he holds up as the playoffs unfold but he's guaranteed himself a spot in the conversation and a couple comforting paychecks at the very least. Momentum and confidence are funny things in golf and he's clearly still got the ability so it should be interesting to see. If you'll recall, Jim Furyk won the FedEx Cup in 2010 when he was 40 years old, so it can be done. Whatever happens, I hope and pray Linksoul works with Lucas Glover to formulate some pants to better handle the heat.

Jeff Goodman Is A Loser

I've been at war with the national media for almost 7 years. It's not a big deal, but I've been fighting the good fight ever since "Schiano Sunday" in late 2017 when my eyes were opened to the shit that happens when media members "befriend" coaches and athletic directors. It's a dangerous game and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to make sure stories break the way that people want them to.  Whenever you're reading anything that's written by these select few, just know that they're very sensitive, fragile individuals. Jeff Goodman, Pat Forde, Dan Wolken, Dennis Dodd... they're all hyper-sensitive and soft. If a coach/AD is friendly and makes these dorks feel important, then they generally act nicer and will even volunteer to carry their water. If a coach/AD is mean to them in a presser or ignores calls and doesn't scratch their belly, then they tend to become very fussy and resort to hit pieces. This is the way t...

FFB WEEK 3: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Image
Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Twelve Takeaways. Apologies for the tardiness.   1. The Titans once again have a problem at quarterback. I said he was fit for a demotion last week , and I can't believe he wasn't benched in their loss to the Packers, but one thing's clear at this point: Will Levis is not the guy and he's not set up to succeed as a Titan. On Sunday, he was 26/34 for 260 yards and 2 TDs (hey, not bad!) but committed costly 3 turnovers (again? shit).   What else is there to say? The bad has vastly outweighed the good, his ball security and inconsistency is an issue, and any time he does takes a baby step forward he finds new and inventive ways to take multiple steps back.    I've previously referred to Levis as a "charity draft pick"  and I stand by that. In the 2023 draft, the Titans front office said "Sure, why not? Could be fun!" to a career-subpar quarterback. They could've drafted ancillary pieces and planned ahead for wha...
