Patrick Reed Lost A Lawsuit In The Most Hilarious Way

It's not breaking news that the golf world has been fractured since LIV Golf's inception. 

Here's some news that everyone can come together and enjoy: Patrick Reed has gone and shot himself in the pecker.  

In August of 2018, Patrick Reed sued Brandel Chamblee and the Golf Channel for defamation. You know Patrick Reed, the one accused of stealing his teammates' belongings at Georgia? Which landed him at Augusta State where he served a suspension for cheating during a tournament. The one whose history overshadows the actual strength of his game? The one that's estranged from his family and openly disliked by almost everyone except maybe his wife? Yeah, that's the one. 

Well, Patrick Reed got his feelings hurt. He sued... pretty much everyone, I guess. Brandel Chamblee, Eamon Lynch, Shane Ryan, Gannett, Golfweek (the magazine) you name it. He wanted $750 million for more or less not being nice to him about joining LIV. Reed said they were smearing his sterling reputation with slander, personal attacks, all that stuff. Or maybe it was because they didn't deny the allegations that were unearthed from every stop of his illustrious history of shitheadery. I don't really remember. The lawsuit was bogus from the jump, his attorney is a certified quack, and the dollar amount he was seeking was laughable. None of that stopped him and he went ahead with the totally legitimate lawsuit. 

This past week, we finally have closure. A judge dismissed the lawsuit. In addition to that, Patrick Reed has to pay the defendants' legal fees for being subjected to his bullshit. A judge is actually charging Patrick Reed for filing a nonsensical suit, suing for a ridiculous number, and wasting everyone's time. 

There's losing a case, then there's this. When you take a step back, it's not like Patrick Reed cares anymore at this point. He's got plenty of money now that he's a part of LIV and I guess he realizes that nobody likes him anyway, might as well go full heel. If you want a good laugh go look at the track record for his lawyer, Larry Klayman. When I said he's a quack, that might've been an understatement. The dude sued his mom one time. Not to mention this whole case was a colossal failure. I’m starting to think Larry Klayman is just bad at this whole “practicing law” thing. 

I can't wipe the smile off my face over this news. Just a hilarious ending to a psychotic lawsuit to begin with.

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 13 - TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Come on into the Fantasy Football Boys lounge where we talk fantasy football. Welcome! Fancy a beer while you wait? Cocktail? Ok, cool, what'll it be? Ice cold Schlitz? Nice choice, I can tell you're a real diplomat. Get comfortable in one of our fine leather chairs, we're gonna be here a while. Oh, you're ready to talk shop? You wanna talk fantasy football? Perfect, me too.  1. It is officially Threat Level Midnight for Patrick Mahomes . On Sunday, he was bad. 21/33 for 210 yards, 1 touchdown, and an interception. Again, chalk it up to the lack of a standout receiver or injuries on the offensive line, but it's been a grind if you're starting Mahomes, no other way to put it. Dare I say something I never thought I'd say: He's become a liability if you're a playoff contender. It was yet another miserable fantasy output, and he's now put up <20 fantasy points in 7 of his last 9 games. The concern level is at an all-time high and fantasy owners ar

FFB WEEK 14 - PLAYOFF EDITION: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Image
It's the playoffs, baby.    1. Justin Jefferson's fantasy corpse was reanimated this week for some excellent fantasy production .  Oops! He got injured again and there were 3 total points scored all game. If ever there was a game that embodied a fart noise, it was this one. It wasn't exactly the explosive return we'd all hoped for as Jefferson may or may not have had internal bleeding after a hit in the first half. It was a mighty gut-punch for fantasy owners that thought they were getting a healthy Jefferson back after 8 weeks on the shelf just for him to leave early again and go to the hospital. The guy can't catch a break and the presumed WR1 heading into the season is now just WR46 thanks to some shit luck with injuries. What a ripoff for the fantasy owners that drafted him, I hope they're doing okay.  2. Bench Patrick Mahomes . I've seen enough. The Chiefs are a mess and for the first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes seems stressed. I've never se
