Well they are Team Prodigy and you're not.
You folks really need some other things to worry about in your lives.

But is it really? They don't have anything to offer him to throw but 2 molds right now. He is still throwing many of his old discs...he threw a Firebird for crying out loud on the playoff hole.
If that doesn't say I trust disc A more then disc B what is?
It's a win for Will, he did throw amazingly well. Did he beat McBeth, yes. But did he let things get to his head and almost cost him that win? An even bigger yes.
Could you imagine what Team Prodigy would have done if Will had watered again? Or had missed his putt and lost the event?
I think alot of the ranting comes from the attitude now being shown by the team. Everybody was ready to support them, go get your money, get your recognition, and grow our sport. Now they are out there acting like they are the only golfers that matter in the world. Don't believe me, go check out the video that is posted to GG's facebook. You have GG who choked, Jerm who was non existent and Cam who I didn't even know was playing the event all dancing around waving the Prodigy name around. It just rubs people the wrong way. When Rob Gronkowski was seen out at a club after losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl dancing around like an idiot while clearly intoxicated, people got rubbed the wrong way. People who really value their sports want their athletes to act like they have been there before. Do emotions sometimes get the better of you, of course. But when it comes down to it, you should still act like you've done it before. Will's celebration at the USDGC was classy...why so obnoxious with this one, when moments earlier we all learned that you made a rookie mistake.
Best post in this whole thread! Well said:thmbup:
Man ESPN sure is trashing on team prodigy today. I wonder what Skip Bayless will say on monday...
Grown men(DGCR) calling out 20 year old athletes on how to behave. Always a good read
I think I have to agree with holding off on the "Prodigy" victory until they havea full lineup on the market. But it was a good win for Will.
That being said, I think he does lose a bit by making such a stupid mistake. It's something that everyone is very anal about, and being a pro, there should never be any issues with scorecard. Yes, ball golf pros sometimes have issues, but they also have a caddies double checking them. For Will not to check his card, and almost cost himself the event is a big deal. It's almost as if they put the team and just trying to make a name for themselves over playing golf the correct way. Celebrate and be happy, but do it when it's appropriate and out of the way of your competitors. I think it shows bad form. You don't see Tiger or Rory celebrating on the middle of the green when there are still putts to be made.
side note, anyone catch Greenwell's shaking of his head and face when the announcement was made? Had a total "stupid mistake, kid" look to it.

All this stupid hate needs to be toned down severely. Let's not talk about the amazing disc golf we got to watch or how well all the pros have adapted to their new discs. Instead, let's complain about the free stream, how this new team that was excited to have one of their members win celebrated the win, and how someone made a mistake.
wow this thread really makes me disappointed. I have a feeling alot of you were never apart of a sports team. That's how TEAMS act sometimes with a big win. This isn't ball golf! Why do you want it to be quiet and lame? next you are going to start complaining that we should be wearing plaid pants.....the way they acted is right in line with the majority of disc golf culture.
I know its March and alot of you are pent up not playing but get over it and try to have some fun. Or grow a pair and throw in the snow.
Go outside, and throw some F'n frisbees around. Stop the hate.
I don't see a similar thread about Prodigy's celebration on DGR. Those guys are too busy playing the sport they love instead of complaining about a part of it that doesn't concern them in any way.

DGR is pretty dead unless you like Legacy, MVP or Millennium
Even with all the excitement I've never not shaken my opponents hand like Will did to Paul at the end of that playoff.
Frank D, and Vegan Ray!
The only activity on dgr is in a thread about this place.
