LPGA star reveals incredible number of cigarettes she was smoking, Philly fans boo kids & buy the WWE’s plane
The sun is shining, it's supposed to be a blazing 97 degrees here in NW Ohio and the World Cup rolls on this afternoon, but, first, it's time for a fresh edition of Tuesday Screencaps where we address the sports and culture world we're all living in.
Let's start with this startling piece of news from smokin' Charley Hull, who dazzled all of us with her cig-smoking antics on the LPGA Tour. We called her the female John Daly. It turns out we weren't exaggerating. In a new podcast out this week, Hull reveals that she was smoking up to 40 cigs per day at the height of her nicotine habit.
"I was very stressed at the time," Hull says of her 40 cig per day performances.
How does that compare against John Daly's habit?
In 2014, Daly revealed, like Hull, he was smoking up to 40 cigs per day and would drink 10-12 Diet Cokes. That Diet Coke consumption was down from his peak when he would hammer 26-28 cans per day.
His cig of choice? Marlboros. I just happen to be lucky enough to have a pack autographed by Big John that I curated during a trip to the 2024 Masters where I was able to meet John at the Augusta Hooters (RIP).
Unlike Daly who continues to smoke like a chimney, Hull decided one day on the golf course to just give up cigs. She made a $10k bet with friends that she was done smoking for two months. She hasn't smoked since.

MLB wants to bring in a younger audience, but then puts the Home Run Derby on Netflix
Did kids gravitate to the Netflix app like we all gravitated to ESPN back in the day? It's early, but based on where this poll is heading, it sounds like an overwhelming number of kids will have to see a clip on social media to have seen any of the 2026 Derby.
Were kids more likely to watch the Derby if it was on a cable/YouTubeTV channel?
Things I wonder about:
This is the most-watched TikTok on MLB's channel this morning from last night's event. It has 515k views. Can these massive sports organizations exist in a world where its audience wants a nine-second clip?
The price for parents to watch their kids play travel sports just keeps going up and you guys just keep paying
I know one of you spent the weekend in Cincinnati at an AAU tournament. A media personality in NW Ohio says she and her husband spent $240 in entrance fees to watch their twin daughters play in said tournament. The mom says after parking, gas, hotel and food, they spent more than a thousand dollars for a long weekend in Cincinnati.
But, families just keep paying it and the tournaments keep raising the prices. Look at what parents were paying in 2025 vs. 2026.
Last night, I was doing the math with Mrs. Screencaps on a season of rec baseball:
Total: Let's call it $500 just to get a season rolling, not including the fuel to play 45 minutes from home on random Wednesday nights. Next year, the bat budget will likely be slashed to zero
Modern-day degenerates: Meet Priscilla Presley’s son
– Mark in Tucson writes: I'm sure I'm not the only one who sent you the story about this clown and his gofundme... for a pizza oven... for his driveway... Besides being the degenerate son of Priscilla Presley, and asking the public to fund this pipe dream, there's so much else to parse. His defense of the request is he has ADD and bills, so he's asking the public's help. He clearly has done no research on Los Angeles and it's byzantine regulation structure, but I'd pay money to be there when he fires that bad boy up. If this ever gets off the ground, he'll be shut down the first day. Mark my words.
Thank you for the daily dose of NORMAL.
Mailbag:
– Dan from AZ on pillows: Catching up on SC from Saturday and just wanted to second your Purple pillow rec #NotSponsored. I bought mine back in January and haven’t looked back. Also coincidentally just ordered one yesterday for the wife.One thing I’ll add for Beer Guy Neil is if you live near any of their stores, go in and try them out. They have several different options to accommodate all the various sleep preferences. I went with the DreamLayer.Lastly as a Cubs fan who will always root for Kyle Schwarber, I hope he hits a billion homers tonight.
Kinsey: I want to add that I DO NOT have any stock in Purple pillows. I have never received an email from Purple to promote their pillows. I PAID for my Purple pillow.
– Philly Ray in MN on my recent venture into the world of pickleball: Google annual cost of pickleball injuries in the U.S. Yikes!
– Kevin in Naples, FL reacts to my golfing prowess and this scumbag RJ telling me to stop taking care of my yard: The Tee Shot Tuesday video was awesome. Instead of putting up a snowman, you rose to the occasion and scored par with your silky smooth swing.
Re: RJ bitching about lawns: A nice lawn is about having pride in your property and taking care of the things you own. It's about being a responsible adult with taste, class, and keeping property values high in your hood.
RJ's idea of creativity with his lawn is it's probably filled with grubs, bare spots, broken glass, old bald tires, and broken down 1993 Buicks.
– Tom T. also reacts to this loser RJ: I have not been mowing on Thursday nights. In fact, I have not been mowing at all. All of my grass is DEAD, Jim. If only I had a lawn that could feed the WHOLE neighborhood, I would be so stoked!! The only way my lawn could feed the neighborhood, is if they had a great recipe for Plaintain stew… you know, the weeds with the little knobs on a long stem that have white things sticking out…..I had to look up the name. Of course that virtue signaling dingus, RJ, did not send a picture of his lawn…. HE AIN’T GOT ONE!!! I hope he’s envious of my dead lawn, but the fact is, he will never have a lawn, unless someone gifts him a house with a lawn…..maybe his parents have a lawn that he can inherit.
– Jim in East Peoria, IL is back and he's as mad as I am at Disney for not rigging America's Funniest Videos for a little girl to win a Disney cruise: Great work today on a very slow sports day. Hard to believe the schedule is so barren, but that's the way the dog days go at times.
Truly UN F---ING BELIEVABLE that AFV chose Granny over the little girl. Guessing the family wasn't woke enough or something. And you are, as usual, correct - the little girl's video was MUCH better. Chuck heaving the club was comical, but typical Chuck. I too had no idea Conor McGregor was fighting again until I saw some stuff about it Sunday morning. Course, not exactly sure I'd call it fighting....
I'd say ol' RJ gets his panties twisted about a lot of things we hold sacred in America. He can just walk himself right out the f---ing door to his country of choice. And the United Steaks of America was classic!
Lastly, I think we need to start a SOPHIE2032 campaign. She'll only be 30 in August, so she can't run in 2028, but I really think she'd be a great choice for 2032. Just sayin'.
– Scott in Rocky Point, NY checks in on my new pickleball fascination: As a lifelong competitive guy and someone that picks up most sports easily (baseball, softball, basketball, tennis (eh), ping pong, badminton, pool, etc) I found myself getting a pickleball racket kit from Amazon to give it a go with my gf. My daughter, who lives in AZ, has joined a few pickleball leagues to meet people and just to get out and pickle which sounds very fun except for the hot summer nights there. Not exactly sure of the rules as of yet, the kitchen what? We've only smacked the wiffle ball back and forth, sort of getting the hang of hitting, but totally agree that doubles seem to be the way to play. Less movement the better. Bring on a loud-mouthed 70s couple so I can smack the ball into their faces (talkers bother me). I have a badminton side to my yard, thought about converting it to pickleball (which would make me still play badminton), but the over $10K cost was a definite no for me. I'll get the swimming pool pickleball set instead.
Why do Canadians build houses so close together?
Last night, I ended up down a Google Maps rabbit hole and ended up in Saskatoon where I found myself looking at neighborhoods. I knew Canadian neighborhoods were tight, but why are they tight across the entire country where there's plenty of land?

That is it this morning. That should be plenty of topics to drive conversation at work today. Let's get rolling and have another great day of life.
