Early chip of the year candidate.

Spuzz I went back and see it is a 'defamation' lawsuit. His attorney must be way out of the golf world loop, not to know what has been said/written about him, prior to the PGA or Chambles even knowing him.

the action of damaging the good reputation of someone; slander or libel:

Par4QC maybe the defense will bring his college roommates as character witnesses or lack of character witnesses. I wonder who these little snot nose punks are🤔

Spuzz

LOL
Rory Sabbaitni resurfaces, on the DP Tour, with the oddball golf bag and likely the worst outfit seen on a grown man.
Only thing missing were the Spuzz Disapproved Mizuno irons.
😮
Maybe the PGA will find a way to cancel him. He doesn't fit in there.
(Hopefully a picture of today's gear later)

I heard that sneakylong has been added to the suit for his statements in this thread. 😅

Spuzz

azgreg
Thanks!
The bag itself is not new, maybe the first used for real.
That outfit is screaming for @sdandrea1 to give it a trial run in Florida.
(at least his belt matches his shoes, unlike that twerp JT)

The hat, maybe......the rest of that getup is beyond even me. 🤣

Spuzz

sdandrea1 The hat, maybe......the rest of that getup is beyond even me

LOL
I said Florida because you'd be lynched in Virginia wearing that gear.

sdandrea1 The hat, maybe......the rest of that getup is beyond even me.

I'd wear it, minus the hat

sdandrea1

Spuzz you'd be lynched in Virginia wearing that gear.

Spuzz Lynched??? That is so out of date.... More like outed on social media.

Par4QC

ode They obviously got their noses rubbed in the dirt from all of it. Reed has a green jacket + M$$$$, and they all have 'good paying jobs'. 😅

johnnydoom

Spuzz Given the ludicrous amount of the suit, it may just be a warning shot to Chumlee to shut his mouth

My guess is that is likely the case. I would think that the golf channel would offer to shelve the vendetta if they could avoid the legal bs. Doubt they really want to spend the money defending the right to grind on Patrick.

Par4QC

johnnydoom It's not really The Golf Channel. It is NBC Sports Group/Comcast; owner of TGC. Might have the money. Might have the time. Reed is not attacking just some small TV station. imo, there will be a fight to the finish; I'd be very surprised if not.

And like I said about Reed, Chamblee may well be eliminated after it's all over. Getting rid of the 'distraction'. He surely does not have the popularity to hang on.

johnnydoom

Par4QC You may very well be right. I'm inclined to think even the NBC empire will not want to spend the money fighting something that can't really generate a whole lot of revenue, unless there are underlying connections like their alliance with the PGA Tour.

Spuzz

Par4QC Chamblee may well be eliminated

If he issues a fake on air apology, then you know he likely settled out of court, or will be.

Par4QC

Spuzz I think, either way it goes, he's a goner. My company would be run as such. No distractions to original product line. Mouthing off is not on that shelf, except for some media outlets, other than NBC Sports. Never bite the hand.

Spuzz

Par4QC I think, either way it goes, he's a goner

Likely correct, given today's cancel culture, and I agree, it's likely the main goal of the lawsuit as well.

Mattyv

Ya'll are forgetting that controversy creates ratings. If Brandel is on the hot seat, more people will tune in and they can sell more ads. I say he goes nowhere.

Sneakylong

Mattyv I say he goes nowhere.

Yeah, he's not going anywhere. He's getting paid to do exactly what he does which is be an analyst and give his opinion. And as far as Reed's lawsuit shutting Chamblee up.

I don't see Chamblee talking about Reed much anymore anyway since Reed is playing in the equivalent of Siberia. lol And as far as I know the Golf Channel doesn't cover tournaments played in obscure places like Siberia. 😏

Spuzz

Mattyv Ya'll are forgetting that controversy creates ratings.

Is that why the PGA Tour never shuts up about the "insignificant, over the hill gang at LIV?"
Looking like an idjit vs. ratings is an interesting conundrum.

rsvman2

Sneakylong He actually started talking more about Reed after Reed skipped to the LIV tour.
That has probably slowed down by now.

Mattyv

Spuzz
Probably. It's also kind of hard to ignore when a few of your marquee guys jump ship.
