He isn\u2019t even playing anymore and is seeking out slights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/coaches\/BeliBi0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/coaches\/BeliBi0.htm\">Bill Belichick<\/a> ran the New England Patriots as if they were the CIA. Some of the most talented baseball players of recent vintage took performance-enhancing drugs. Cyclist Lance Armstrong tried to ruin the lives of those who accurately accused him of taking PEDs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Instead of motivating himself by creating enemies and demonizing competitors, Scheffler, last week, asked this question about winning majors: \u201cWhat\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cThis is not a fulfilling life,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cIt\u2019s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it\u2019s not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cThat\u2019s something that I wrestle with on a daily basis. It\u2019s like showing up at the Masters every year. It\u2019s like, why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly? I don\u2019t know because, if I win, it\u2019s going to be awesome for two minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cYou win it, you celebrate, get to hug my family, my sister\u2019s there, it\u2019s such an amazing moment. Then it\u2019s like, OK, what are we going to eat for dinner? &#8230; It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Brady once liked a social media post in which I said he was the most underpaid quarterback&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":80513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-80512","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114891058358144944","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
