Welcome to Screencaps, “America’s Best Daily Column,” as named by the readers. Screencaps, which publishes seven-days-a-week, is a mix of sports, pop culture, and emails from sane readers from around the world. This column isn’t for the coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let’s have some fun.
Ladies, have you been wondering how to tee up a golf ball? You’re in luck, Paige and her playing partner have created a step-by-step lesson plan.
I have to give credit to Paige. She spent years as OutKick’s No. 1 ranked golf influencer in the world, but the content was just Paige in some costume and it started to get old. Once she started doing this playing partner thing where she leans into just being Paige, giggling, dropping innuendo jokes and having fun, the content HAS POPPED.
The formula seems to be rather simple: Create content that neanderthals will share in their golf group chats.
“Good girls bend at the knee, bad girls bend at the hip . . . Or something like that . . . might be the other way round,” some guy named Rich, who’s clearly in a golf group chat, wrote on Instagram.
By the way, that’s Kendall Toole, the former Peloton instructor golfing with Paige. I’m sure some of you who rode a stationary bike during COVID remember her.

In case you’ve been in a coma, OutKick’s Matt Reigle created this show and has been using OutKick talent to voice many of the characters. In this episode, my voice talent is on display. Give it a watch and rate my performance.
This is about as perfect as it gets and shows exactly what it’s like to be an OutKick outsider going into many of these environments where the Big Js and the team media staffs absolutely despise you. But, someone has to do it.
I’m on the fence here. Part of me feels like this would be fun with toddlers who are a complete mess anyway, why not let them go wild. The other part of my brain tells me this is just another dopamine hit for Millennial parents who want to throw this content on Instagram so their yuppie friends smash that like button.
⢠Kevin F. in Naples, FL writes: Food that is hard to screw up? Nachos. A sign of a bad restaurant is when their nachos are terrible.
Kinsey: Hold up, nachos are screwed up at an astounding rate. In fact, a few years ago, I told Mrs. Screencaps that there wasn’t a single place within 20 miles of our house that can do nachos correctly.
Burning shredded cheese onto chips isn’t nachos. I got to the point where I couldn’t even trust the Mexicans to produce a legit plate of nachos. I get where Kevin’s going here, but they’re easy to screw up because these places don’t put in the effort.
⢠Kevin in Frederick checks in: Checking out the site and the Astros chick made me think about the ALCS and WS. I had to jump on the 4 letter website to see where the ALCS stood – the World Series starts Friday, after all, right? Just checked, and apparently it’s over (Go Rays!). Didn’t even know.
It serves MLB right to have to show the Trop for at least 2 games. Place is a soulless shâbox unlike American Family Field (aka Miller Park). Would cheer for the Brewers if Uke was still kicking it. Would love to hear him call a WS for the home team.
Never really been a MLB fan since the days of the Cubs afternoon games interrupting the 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM window of Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry – stupid Cubs.
Pulling for TB, (another fan base that does not deserve a title) as I lived there while Sapp was playing. He was always a jerk. His philosophy was always he wouldn’t take pics or sign anything because someone would be left unhappy – so he just made everyone unhappy. At least he was consistent.
Finally, The WNBA finals fix is in!. Atlanta beats GSV on the road and gets 15 more FT’s than the home team? The WNBA decided they’ve got the chance to ride the Angel Reece train and they are gonna do just that – by any means possible. This is going 7 games for sure…and crowning her as the new face of the WNBA. Can’t promote CC over a WNBA champ can you?
⢠Greg writes on the world of fast-food buffets: KFC has a good all-u-can-eat buffet here in Tallahassee.
⢠CF in Kansas tells me: We went to Wendyâs drive-thru the other day and “lo and behold!” there was an older lady working the window. We had a smooth experience for a welcome change. Perhaps that Wendyâs manager reads your column and was smart enough to take your advice. Bring back the old ladies!!!!!!
Kinsey: Thank you for this report, CF. The quicker Wendy’s rids itself of the meth addicts and prison-release system workers, the sooner this brand restores order. Now, I’m concerned that too much damage has been done, but it’s a great step. Remember how Cracker Barrel created an unnecessary mess with that whole logo change idea from the Rachel Maddow ripoff CEO? She learned a valuable lesson, left and now look at the stock: It hit $69/share this week.
Bring back the Superbar. Fire the meth addicts. I’d even sell monthly Superbar subscriptions. VIP lines like you’re waiting for a ride at Cedar Point. You know what Chick-fil-A doesn’t have? A f’ing SUPERBAR! DO IT, WENDY’S!
⢠Greg shares his experience with Warren Sapp: I graduated Univ of Miami in 1978 and have been a huge Cane fan since 1974, my first year on campus. I donât recall the exact year but it was likely around 2004, I was returning back to Florida from Nassau, and Warren Sapp was on the same plane. After we landed, I was standing in the terminal with some Cane fans who just wanted to shake his hand and perhaps get a picture. He could not have been more UNFRIENDLY AND RUDE as he ungraciously denied their request. I knew from that moment on that despite being a great football player, he was a lousy human being. It is no wonder you donât see too many endorsement deals for this miserable person.
â Tom T. says: Finally! You are covering a topic on which I am an expert. I have been listening to NFL home team broadcasts synced with the TV since Sonny & Sam were calling the Washington REDSKINS back in the 80’s and 90’s. Back then, over the air AM radio was already synced perfectly with cable TV, so all we had to do was mute the TV and turn on the Technics receiver pre-tuned to 960 AM.

Nowadays, I listen to the skins on BIG100 out of DC, over the Internet. It is normally about 60 seconds ahead of the cable TV broadcast, so I have to pause TV1 AND pause TV2, which shows Redzone channel. I usually sync on the opening kickoff. I also have to avoid looking at my fantasy football scoreboard until commercial breaks, so I can remain in the 60 second “cone of silence”.
A funny thing happens around 5pm, however. At that time, BIG100 starts telling me that I am out of the authorized listening area, so for 4pm or night games, I have to rely on an NFL+ subscription, which runs about $13 per month to listen to any game.
Most of the time, everything stays synced up, but occasionally it is necessary to re-sync. If you can handle that, it is the BEST way to watch your favorite team. I was travelling for work on Monday, and I ended up watching the second half on mute, because I was sooooooo tired of Buck and Troy sucking up to Kyle Shanahan and talking about how much the REDSKINS stink….. I can’t handle the truth.

Kinsey: I’m still not hearing how you sync the broadcast with the radio when the radio is running ahead of the video stream. Are you guys pausing the radio broadcasts for a set amount of time? Have you determined the exact amount of delay the TV stream is on and then you use some sort of counter to get this stuff perfectly synced?
â Steve C. in Kentucky writes: You have to delay and pause both the tv and radio apps then sync them by myself. After a while it is pretty easy.

That should be more than enough content to get the juices pumping on a Thursday morning. The sun is still out here in Ohio. The weather has been absolutely phenomenal. I’m talking 69, sunny, no wind, no clouds. Just amazing for this time of year which means we’re probably going to get pummeled in about seven days.
Anyway, let’s enjoy life. Let’s get some work done and get one step closer to the weekend.
