Emily Elizabeth UNLEASHED In Bora Bora, Scottie Scheffler Memes & Bartolo Colon Meets Usain Bolt
Excuse the shorter edition of Screencaps. I've been glued to SportsCenter and updates on Scottie Scheffler being ‘detained’
For those of you who have been busy and haven't checked social media this morning, this IS NOT April Fool's Day, Scottie Scheffler really did end up in handcuffs this morning over a traffic incident outside Valhalla in Louisville.
I, myself, had to make sure multiple times that I wasn't being fooled by some AI video or a fake blue checkmark account.
Scheffler really was put in handcuffs, and as of the latest credible updates, he has not been released.
From here, I'm going to let OutKick's golf guy Mark Harris handle things. I'm sure he'll be working all weekend. Buckle up.
For those like John who are looking for NCAA Regionals advice

On the ncaa regionals for baseball I would suggest going to Arkansas. Baum stadium is a palace and you can not beat the atmosphere of 12k fans for a razorback game. I would suggest he try to find seatback tickets on stub hub or find a Facebook group for razorback tickets. I am sure it exists and it would be the best place to find some. Tickets for the hog pen in left field(bring your own chair and cooler)are fun but it will be packed and it gets rowdy. People will camp out overnight for the hog pen for the razorback games and the line will wrap around the stadium. Though I live in NC I have had tickets at Baum on 3rd base since it opened and if I didn’t sell them every year to friends I would gladly pass them along.
There are a lot of places to stay in Fayetteville or surrounding towns. Great Bbq at Penquin Ed’s or Wrights, can’t go wrong at the Catfish Hole for some fried catfish and the best hush puppies in the country. Bars and restaurants on Dickson st and the Arkansas campus is beautiful.
Hope they have a great trip and make sure you give a big Wooooooo Pig Sooie for the Omahogs.
Advice needed: How would you handle this situation?

The situation:
Neighborhood kid, and family friend leaves his 500 dollar bike parked behind my pickup in our driveway. Later that afternoon my 17 yr old daughter gets into pickup and totally destroys bike backing over it.
I’m instantly figuring I will pitch in 100 to help out the 11 year old get a new bike. My wife is thinking along with me that the eleven year olds responsibility was lacking and he should find smarter places to park his stuff.
My teenage daughter feels horrible about it. she should have looked behind vehicle, but there wasn’t kids around and as nature would have it , she just got into the old pickup and backed up.
Now the mom who is friends with my wife is asking us to cover half. Our share is 200. What does the Screencaps guys or Clay think?
I would never expect or ask if this was one of my kids. Am I being a difficult about this?
Elevator pitch to a 13-year-old with advice from grandparents
- Jim T. in San Diego writes:
Well, damn, if you’re going to call me out …
I’ve shared with all of my kids what my paternal grandfather told me when he was visiting us the summer I was 8. He lived in Baltimore, and we were in Dayton, so I didn’t get to see him very often. He died when I was 9, and afterward I learned that he had to drop out of school in 8th grade when his father died unexpectedly, because as a 12-year-old he had to work to take care of his mom and younger siblings. Over the years, he was a tile-setter, a carpenter, delivered beer for Gunther Brewer (!), and basically took whatever honest job he could to support his family. He had a hard life professionally, but was the happiest person I ever met.
As I watched him put in brick edging around our gardens at our house in Dayton that summer (because that WAS how he relaxed!), I asked him why he worked so hard (not yet knowing his back story). His response applies to any situation, any life: "You’re not going to like every job you have in life. But work as hard as you can at that job, and word will get around and you’ll get better opportunities because of it."
- Michael J. in Chiraq:
I'm not a grandparent, but I do have a son that's about to turn 13. So I'd be interested in hearing what others say. But I'll throw out there the few things I've been trying to instill in him this year.
1. Never knock someone's passion. You have plenty of things that you love that others don't understand. Be aware of that.
2. Winning isn't everything but losing sucks. Do your best and remember that you can do your best and still fail. But don't settle for failure. Use it as motivation to grow.
3. Put your faith in God. I definitely didn't do that as a 13 year old and wished I had.
- Mike T. in Idaho shares his advice:
I give advice to everyone who I meet and become friends with, no matter the age.
"Make the Big Time Where You Are"
This advice came from Frosty Westerling, who was the football coach at Pacific University in Tacoma Washington for years.
Basically, what he was saying is live a life your proud and happy with, do the right thing and be content with yourself after you give everything 100%
Frosty won 4 Nattys, had 25 all Americans, but most importantly when he died and his memorial was held, the Tacoma Dome couldn’t hold all his friends.
" Make the Big Time Where You Are" words to live by!

So elevator speech advice: 'Kid, here's the main thing: Life isn't fair ... but sometimes that is a good thing. Yes, you'll ride the bench when you think you should play; you won't get into that college you wanted, or the job you wanted. And yeah you may get dumped by the girl you wanted to date or are dating. But sometimes, that's a good thing. You move on to a different sport; maybe one you never knew you had a talent for. You go to a 'second tier' college and find it is better than you ever thought. Or you end up at a job you never knew existed that you absolutely love. And of course you get dumped by a girl ... just in time to meet the love of your life on the rebound. Sometimes that doesn't happen ... but sometimes it does. Sometimes the lemons don't just make lemonade; they make HARD lemonade that rocks.'
I got this general advice (I added my own wrinkles here and there) from one of my older cousins way back in the day. And it turned out to be more true than not.
MEAT!

That's it this morning. What a morning it has been for Scottie Scheffler, who was released as I was typing and is on his way to Valhalla for his second round. This is going to be a day the golf world never forgets.
Go have yourself a great day. Stay out of jail and stay safe.
