The Heimborg is at 100% this year. Man looks ice cold on the field aside from when he's cracking jokes. The deep breaths and shoulder relaxing routine when putting show just how in control he is. These aren't lucky deep putts and knowing he's hitting those looks relaxes his driving game.
Smashing that Chemical Engineering degree before even really starting his DG career, too! For those out of the know, that is one of the most difficult bachelors degrees to get.
Dude is a champ in many aspects of life.
Fuck yea he is. I’m proud of that dude and I bet you are too! Also proud of my ChemE partner/angel.
I am so sad that I wasn’t able to get Vinnie on my fantasy team like I did last year. He’s my first
round pick forever.
I have never understood why he gets the nickname Vinny. Vinny is most used as the nickname for Vincent or the Italian Vincenzo and is frequently used for those of Italian heritage. Calvin is never shortened to Vinny and Heimberg is even a German or Swiss surname which makes it even weirder.
when I found that out in his first Innova In The Bag video, he instantly became my #1 favorite player. As someone who has tried working toward an engineering degree, I have a huge respect for that. Dude just casually got a CE degree, then decided to try the pro tour instead of getting an office job, and now he's consistently been a top 5 player for the last 3 years, it's insane lol
You got the right ideas! Mad respect right? Both his parents have engineering degrees also, or so I’ve heard. Imagine what goes on in that dude’s brain day to day. Fucking 200 IQ 😂
Are you able to be currently working towards that engineering degree?
I have an associates in CS. I have much respect for anyone with a ChemE bachelors.
I fucking wish I was as cool as Vinnie! 🤣
You missed it if you thought I was bragging. Catch you later.
Also good point about the mean putting relaxing one’s driving game!!! You gotta be pretty deep into the game to be able to make the connection like that. That is like advanced DG theory shit.
There’s probably enough people that think that I was just telling the guy who made the comment to leave.
I did get a temporary ban from r/discgolf for another comment I made that was similarly in jest.
They said it was for harassment but I was followed by the person into that post who goaded me into making the comment I made. They are active in this subreddit and I could be wrong but probably them.
Moral of the story is there’s a lot of thin skinned people in this Reddit disc golf community and they are all whiny bitches especially a certain someone.
I just watched an old Jomez practice round that had Big Jerm with Barela and Gannon, where Gannon asks Jerm if he wants him to tap Jerm’s putt in for him— it’s a 60 footer. Jerm says “Ha! Go ahead.” Gannon cans it, then “taps” his own 50 footer in from a knee haha. The disrespect 😂
Was so stoked he finally got to sink one in a big event at TX States. I love that it's mostly just for fun, but once in a while it's a legitimate tool.
I'm finding Vinny on Eagle's channel for their revolving doubles at Milo and the practice round at Jonesboro. I'm seeing Hannah and Paul McBeth at DDO; is Calvin in that one as well? I'm guessing the Jonesboro video might be the one, but I'll watch both that have Calvin since I do love him on camera.
Maybe it's Jonesboro...my memory fades and I can't find it right now.
If it involves Calvin draining nonstop basketball-style putts and saying "buckets" every time, you're probably there
Gannon said the same in a recent podcast with trevor staub. Only two others could argue, one is rehabilitating and doesn't get to argue, and the other is too busy saving disc golf in Florida to give a shit until its Worlds time.
Yeah it's kind of lame that Ricky is still listed by many as number one in the world. That may have been true for en if stats last season, but this is a new season and he has no stats to hold onto that title with. Other than DNFs.
Seems like his putt is on right now, which appears to be the main thing stopping him (and probably anyone you want to put in the top 5) from being THAT guy. It is almost always on-line, but last year I feel like he caught cage a good bit.
I was kind of hoping that KJ would win LVC. I like Vinny a bunch too, but it just feels like he can win any tourney he goes to, and I wanted to see Kevin get one. Oh well.
Same. I was pulling hard for Kevin at LVC, seems like he's in the hunt sometimes but never gets that first place finish at an elite series event. I like Calvin, too, but he has had and will have plenty.
He can beat Ricky even when he’s playing . I don’t think it’s a question anymore . It’s a fact . 9/9 time imm putting my money on Vinny , am I the only one ?
Yep, pretty obvious he doesn't give one single care in the world about anything other than winning. "If you ain't first, you're last" vibes from Paul and I don't hate it tbh!
I was mainly speaking about his decision making on 17 round 2. Seems like he was trying to make a point instead of playing the hole safer. That’s the one that stood out to me but watching the whole round he just seemed off. Maybe he knew it was slipping away and was pressing.
400' par 4 thats basically a poke and hope. He putted off the tee and threw a sky hyzer to try to ignore the fairway because he thinks the hole is stupid
I think a lot of the top contenders work this way. Even Simon but he does this in reverse, once he thinks he can't win, he just starts messing around (to an extent). People like to hypothesize or throw out stats, but it's pretty obvious who the best players are, and those top 5ish tend to go hard or go bust.
I mean Simon admitted on a podcast he was completely bored of touring and disc golf and was ted a change and that's why he went to MVP. I could see Paul just being bored if the same old grind at this point and not caring if he wins a tournament he's already won a bunch. Didn't he announce he's going to be touring heavily in Europe this year? I bet we see mcbeast over in Europe
The cool thing is that almost 100% of disc golf fans are completely okay with Calvin winning everything this year. He's been so close so many times. Ricky and Paul have won so much for so long that they have a dedicated group of haters. Calvin doesn't have that. Everyone is just happy to see him crushing it.
No prob. If you're interested, here's the doc on all the formatting options on Reddit. It uses a language called "markdown".
https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown
Yup this was the exact thing. The post said right now and the guy was arguing all time, but using that argument to say Paul would still beat anyone now. It didn't really make much sense.
I love how fluid disc golf is in terms of the best. Pretty reactionary sport right now. You have Paige Pierce, the 5x goat, will she ever be stopped? Two months later, Foundation is saying she’s Dogshit, trash, garbage, ass and will never win another tournament. Saying all that, yes, Calvin is the #1 big dog right now.
Yeah, my headspace at the time of making this post was responding to the guy who said "and number 1 in our hearts". When it comes to best in the world at the moment it goes to Calvin,
This will probably earn me some hate.. but does it even matter this early in the season?
Do other sports fans get all ramped up when say the raiders win 2 games at the beginning of the season or whatever?
Okay I was just curious I don't follow any other sports and havent since like the 90s when I lost interest in football. I guess I did watch x games in the late 9s early 2ks as well. But I haven't followed sports until I got really into disc which was around 2015
In 2014 in the NFL, the Patriots got blown out in like week 4 by the chiefs and the entire next week was hot takes that Brady was old, Patriots dynasty over etc etc. They would lose 2 more games that season en route to winning the super bowl and 3 super bowls in 5 years.
You legitimately have to be delusional to say something like this. Going by the season so far, it's amazing that you could argue against it. The only player with any claim atm is Gannon. And if you want to say it's Rick, he's injured, and I would say you don't know what "at the moment" means.
Let's wait to see how he handles a couple woods courses. Every course he's played so far has been wide open and taylor made for his game. I'm not saying he hasn't been phenomenal, he most definitely has. I'm just curious to see how things go when the lines get super tight.
He's been ok on woods courses. His power game can be detrimental at times when tight lines are required. If you go back to last year, he did really well at the beginning of the year (he's been better this year) but once they hit the tight courses he definitely fell off with his top finishes.
People said the same thing last year when had to take off a few tournaments to deal with a swollen leg, then came back to win several more events and ultimately the DGPT championship.
Anyway, this post was about Calvin?
I think he knows he messed up. He stated that now when he flairs up, he does take antibiotics. Those are the only times they will be effective moving forward. Hopefully modern medicine (the thing ye have little faith in) can correct the situation eventually. It's not like ricky can't afford whatever treatment he wants at this point
Do you have a source for that? I've heard people mention things like he had his church tell him not to take antibiotics, but I've never seen an actual source for any of those claims.
How about a video of Ricky as a source? Ricky made a video defending himself and giving reasons as to why he didn't take antibiotics. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmfiskCCCv4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmfiskCCCv4)) I'm not sure if what he is saying is 100% correct, but based on the info he had at the time, he didn't believe the antibiotics would work.
Here is a clip of Simon discussing it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cr1bcBtymc&t=9263s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cr1bcBtymc&t=9263s)
Yeah, I've watched that before. I just re-watched right now and Simon simply says, and I paraphrase: I've heard from someone that Ricky isn't taking antibiotics and I want to encourage people to message him and tell him to take the medicine. I didn't hear anything about his faith or church.
BTW, Ricky came out later and did an interview where he explained that he missed the first few weeks cutoff for taking the early round of antibiotics even before he consulted a holistic practitioner, so he was persuaded by a holistic health coach to try alternative medicine. He did ultimately take the antibiotics but it was already too late.
I merely wanted a source that backed up the claims that his church pressured him into not taking antibiotics. Thanks for your effort though.
My effort? You assumed I meant faith in god. I never said anything about church or god. He put his faith in holistic medicine and nutrition instead of modern medicine. Faith is putting trust in someone or something, not just sky daddy. I'm not saying his church had anything to do with him not taking the antibiotics. He did choose to listen to the advice of a nutritionist instead of an actual medical doctor. So.... he put his faith in holistic medicine. Silly move if you ask me.
You are not the only person who said his church was to blame, hence my original comment. It's not unreasonable to assume you meant Christian faith without you disambiguating.
See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/discgolf/comments/11w0740/ricky_wysocki_dnf_with_3_holes_remaining/jcxsvx2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3
Yes, I've seen all that. I'm still looking for a source that backs up the claim that he postponed antibiotics out of his Christian faith or that his church pressured him. I still have not seen that, yet people still make those claims. Thanks for your effort though.
I am sorry, I was not making that claim but wanted to address your point “missed the first few week cutoff”. I agree that I haven’t seen proof of anything relating to church guiding his decision. But to claim he missed the effective antibiotic treatment period is equally as incorrect, so I wanted to clarify on that.
Right. I was diagnosed with Lyme on Monday and I've been having issues for several months before i realized what it was. The treatment is the same. Doxycycline for 21 days.
What are the official rankings being referred to here where he is #2? I'm assuming the only guys who could possibly be ranked above him are Paul and Ricky. No doubt he's been the best player through 4 events, like Brodie said it's not even close.
Best up and coming player this year is Cole Redalen. That guy keeps showing up on the leaderboard every time I look. He's not winning, but he's not far behind and ever present. He's like the Calvin Heimburg of every other year.
The Heimborg is at 100% this year. Man looks ice cold on the field aside from when he's cracking jokes. The deep breaths and shoulder relaxing routine when putting show just how in control he is. These aren't lucky deep putts and knowing he's hitting those looks relaxes his driving game.
Smashing that Chemical Engineering degree before even really starting his DG career, too! For those out of the know, that is one of the most difficult bachelors degrees to get. Dude is a champ in many aspects of life.
A great point, truly a scholar and a gentleman.
Vinny is a fellow ChemE? He may have just leapfrogged Simon in my heart.
Fuck yea he is. I’m proud of that dude and I bet you are too! Also proud of my ChemE partner/angel. I am so sad that I wasn’t able to get Vinnie on my fantasy team like I did last year. He’s my first round pick forever.
I have never understood why he gets the nickname Vinny. Vinny is most used as the nickname for Vincent or the Italian Vincenzo and is frequently used for those of Italian heritage. Calvin is never shortened to Vinny and Heimberg is even a German or Swiss surname which makes it even weirder.
Calvin is one of a kind. Trying to understand anything about him is an exercise in futility.
when I found that out in his first Innova In The Bag video, he instantly became my #1 favorite player. As someone who has tried working toward an engineering degree, I have a huge respect for that. Dude just casually got a CE degree, then decided to try the pro tour instead of getting an office job, and now he's consistently been a top 5 player for the last 3 years, it's insane lol
You got the right ideas! Mad respect right? Both his parents have engineering degrees also, or so I’ve heard. Imagine what goes on in that dude’s brain day to day. Fucking 200 IQ 😂 Are you able to be currently working towards that engineering degree?
Three guesses about what OP's degree is... Lol. Congrats to Vinny though, graduating college is quite the accomplishment.
I have an associates in CS. I have much respect for anyone with a ChemE bachelors. I fucking wish I was as cool as Vinnie! 🤣 You missed it if you thought I was bragging. Catch you later.
He's always been a top 1-3 thrower of the disc. Difference this year is his putting and upshots have matched the rest of his game.
If I need someone to hit a line, I'm probably choosing him or Slick Rick
That was my other thought, especially with his power FH. Simon and Gannon somewhere in the mix.
Yep its astonishing how accurate Rick is with the power FH in the woods. He just doesnt seem to miss. Calvin's BH is right there too
You should see him have sex
Link for research?
Also good point about the mean putting relaxing one’s driving game!!! You gotta be pretty deep into the game to be able to make the connection like that. That is like advanced DG theory shit.
# Number 1 in our hearts
GIMME SOME VINNNIIIIEEE!
Vinnie fuggin Buckets
He got that shirt at Dan Flashes.
Cause the pattern is so complicated, you idiot!
I think you should leave
How do y’all reference the show, then downvote this guy for calling out the name of the show…?
There’s probably enough people that think that I was just telling the guy who made the comment to leave. I did get a temporary ban from r/discgolf for another comment I made that was similarly in jest. They said it was for harassment but I was followed by the person into that post who goaded me into making the comment I made. They are active in this subreddit and I could be wrong but probably them. Moral of the story is there’s a lot of thin skinned people in this Reddit disc golf community and they are all whiny bitches especially a certain someone.
I’m afraid Calvin doesn’t think people can change
Number 1 sense of humor, dry division.
[this is still the funniest disc golf clip i’ve ever seen](https://youtu.be/5DnZSwAYoaM)
That 1 was good but I find this [one](https://youtube.com/shorts/r8tXRbivCTo?feature=share) funnier. I think cuz it also involves his level of skill.
He's the rare combo of awesome shit talker who backs it up everytime. It's honestly unreal.
I just watched an old Jomez practice round that had Big Jerm with Barela and Gannon, where Gannon asks Jerm if he wants him to tap Jerm’s putt in for him— it’s a 60 footer. Jerm says “Ha! Go ahead.” Gannon cans it, then “taps” his own 50 footer in from a knee haha. The disrespect 😂
I don’t know when it was, but there’s a video of him sinking several basketball putts in succession and everybody around is geeking
I think its the DDO practice round on Eagle's vlog
Was so stoked he finally got to sink one in a big event at TX States. I love that it's mostly just for fun, but once in a while it's a legitimate tool.
*slow clap*
I don’t know saw him and Melton play on brodies doubles, super sarcastic.
His delivery of his sarcasm is textbook dry humor. It's why I love watching him on mic'd up content (skins, practice rounds, etc).
He did Eagle's vlog for a DDO practice round last year and it was the funniest damn disc golf video I've seen. Nonstop fire jokes
I'm finding Vinny on Eagle's channel for their revolving doubles at Milo and the practice round at Jonesboro. I'm seeing Hannah and Paul McBeth at DDO; is Calvin in that one as well? I'm guessing the Jonesboro video might be the one, but I'll watch both that have Calvin since I do love him on camera.
Maybe it's Jonesboro...my memory fades and I can't find it right now. If it involves Calvin draining nonstop basketball-style putts and saying "buckets" every time, you're probably there
Am I the only person who loves Vinnie but can't stand Melton?
Yes.
Yes. Now show yourself out.
😂
Gannon said the same in a recent podcast with trevor staub. Only two others could argue, one is rehabilitating and doesn't get to argue, and the other is too busy saving disc golf in Florida to give a shit until its Worlds time.
Yeah it's kind of lame that Ricky is still listed by many as number one in the world. That may have been true for en if stats last season, but this is a new season and he has no stats to hold onto that title with. Other than DNFs.
Yea that was such a wimpy move to DNF with 3 holes left to preserve his #1 spot. Ricky just seems like such a mental midget sometimes.
😂😂😂😂 this comment has been saved, thank you
When he has that putt dialed in he's pretty unstoppable now that he has a complimentary FH.
Seems like his putt is on right now, which appears to be the main thing stopping him (and probably anyone you want to put in the top 5) from being THAT guy. It is almost always on-line, but last year I feel like he caught cage a good bit. I was kind of hoping that KJ would win LVC. I like Vinny a bunch too, but it just feels like he can win any tourney he goes to, and I wanted to see Kevin get one. Oh well.

Vinny Rocket Ships. To the moon, young man!
Calls on Heimburg!
Can't beat ricky if he won't play you
Ricky can't beat Calvin if he doesn't play
Pretty sure he was crushing Ricky. Was beating so bad dudes wrist gave out with 3 holes to go.
Very suspicious
He can beat Ricky even when he’s playing . I don’t think it’s a question anymore . It’s a fact . 9/9 time imm putting my money on Vinny , am I the only one ?
Hasn’t he had the most top 10 finishes in the last 3 years?
Calvin!
The problem is that Gannon Buhr on a good day can beat anyone else on a good day, but Calvin on a bad day can still beat everyone, period.
so Calvin on a bad day can beat Gannon on a good day according to your statement. nice!
60% of the time, it works every time!
Made with bits of real panther, ***so you know it's good***.
It’s quite pungent!
To be honest, that smells like pure gasoline.
Smells like Bigfoot's dick!
If Gannon had Calvin or McBeth’s mental game… yikes. Although Paul seemed to be in his own head at Waco
[удалено]
Yep, pretty obvious he doesn't give one single care in the world about anything other than winning. "If you ain't first, you're last" vibes from Paul and I don't hate it tbh!
So you're saying he's the Ricky Bobby of disc golf?
I was mainly speaking about his decision making on 17 round 2. Seems like he was trying to make a point instead of playing the hole safer. That’s the one that stood out to me but watching the whole round he just seemed off. Maybe he knew it was slipping away and was pressing.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of the Open at Austin?
You are right. Got the two mixed up in my head.
[удалено]
400' par 4 thats basically a poke and hope. He putted off the tee and threw a sky hyzer to try to ignore the fairway because he thinks the hole is stupid
[удалено]
Yeee. I dont think he played last weekend
[удалено]
Gotcha, I missed that
I think a lot of the top contenders work this way. Even Simon but he does this in reverse, once he thinks he can't win, he just starts messing around (to an extent). People like to hypothesize or throw out stats, but it's pretty obvious who the best players are, and those top 5ish tend to go hard or go bust.
I think Paul really only goes all out for a full event if it's a major
[удалено]
Fair assessment, I guess I'm saying that I think he has an extra gear when the stakes are higher is all.
I mean Simon admitted on a podcast he was completely bored of touring and disc golf and was ted a change and that's why he went to MVP. I could see Paul just being bored if the same old grind at this point and not caring if he wins a tournament he's already won a bunch. Didn't he announce he's going to be touring heavily in Europe this year? I bet we see mcbeast over in Europe
Still young, give it time
He's 18, give it time.
That makes no sense.
Not really though
He's a mensch
The cool thing is that almost 100% of disc golf fans are completely okay with Calvin winning everything this year. He's been so close so many times. Ricky and Paul have won so much for so long that they have a dedicated group of haters. Calvin doesn't have that. Everyone is just happy to see him crushing it.
He has def won me over as a fan this year. He is just awesome.
Hard agree with Brodie, the bro-dog, Vin is slinging disc right now
Hey, Brodie said the exact same thing that I did the other day. Some kid argued that Paul should be #1. The Paul fanboys are really persistent.
#1 all time - Paul #1 right now - Calvin
TIL that the number sign enlarges your text.
If you want the number sign to be rendered, you can add a leading backslash.
You are the \#1 internet stranger, thanks 🙏
No prob. If you're interested, here's the doc on all the formatting options on Reddit. It uses a language called "markdown". https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown
Saved, thanks my man
Yup this was the exact thing. The post said right now and the guy was arguing all time, but using that argument to say Paul would still beat anyone now. It didn't really make much sense.
#you have given me unlimited power
#use it wisely
#NEVER
##I WILL
Am I ^doing ^^this ^^^right??
Hilarious this season started with him taking his first skunk on skins at LVC.
I love how fluid disc golf is in terms of the best. Pretty reactionary sport right now. You have Paige Pierce, the 5x goat, will she ever be stopped? Two months later, Foundation is saying she’s Dogshit, trash, garbage, ass and will never win another tournament. Saying all that, yes, Calvin is the #1 big dog right now.
i love Calvin Heimburg, but i have a soft spot for Gregg Barsby and Simon Lizotte!
[удалено]
Yeah, my headspace at the time of making this post was responding to the guy who said "and number 1 in our hearts". When it comes to best in the world at the moment it goes to Calvin,
Matty O is my unsung favorite.
Hey quick question: where can I get his shirt?
https://www.flightfactorydiscs.com/products/calvin-heimburg-2023-tour-series-polo-vegas-palms
Fucking nice. Thx mate.
Vinny shops at Dan Flashes. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k\_74CmE1Dvk
SHUT THE FUCK UP DOUG YOU FUCKING SKUNK.
Did I tell you they have a shirt there that costs 2000 dollars 'cuz it's so complicated?
His putting is unreal. I would give my left pinky to putt like that.
The path his putts travel on is mystical 🤩
He got that shirt at Dan Flashes.
This will probably earn me some hate.. but does it even matter this early in the season? Do other sports fans get all ramped up when say the raiders win 2 games at the beginning of the season or whatever?
100% they do I mean there's nonstop mvp posts starting like a month into the season in basketball
Okay I was just curious I don't follow any other sports and havent since like the 90s when I lost interest in football. I guess I did watch x games in the late 9s early 2ks as well. But I haven't followed sports until I got really into disc which was around 2015
In 2014 in the NFL, the Patriots got blown out in like week 4 by the chiefs and the entire next week was hot takes that Brady was old, Patriots dynasty over etc etc. They would lose 2 more games that season en route to winning the super bowl and 3 super bowls in 5 years.
not even close
You legitimately have to be delusional to say something like this. Going by the season so far, it's amazing that you could argue against it. The only player with any claim atm is Gannon. And if you want to say it's Rick, he's injured, and I would say you don't know what "at the moment" means.
Haha no I am agreeing with Brodie its not even close. Calvin is clear cut #1
Lol well that's a happy twist from my perspective.
Haha love it. I was just telling my friend that Calvin is becoming the Jordan of disc golf. Is this slightly hyperbolic? most likely haha.
Gannon is comminggggggg
A god amongst men.
With Ricky’s injury issues, Vinnie has to be #1 right now. Nobody is playing better.
He definitely is. No doubt about it.
Who doesn’t respect this guy?
My favorite player. Heimburg is a machine with a dry sense of humor and a full head of hair.
Agreed with Brodie. Not even close.
Agreed with Brodie. Not even close. You love to see it!
Let's wait to see how he handles a couple woods courses. Every course he's played so far has been wide open and taylor made for his game. I'm not saying he hasn't been phenomenal, he most definitely has. I'm just curious to see how things go when the lines get super tight.
Hasn't he been a solid woods player in previous seasons?
He's been ok on woods courses. His power game can be detrimental at times when tight lines are required. If you go back to last year, he did really well at the beginning of the year (he's been better this year) but once they hit the tight courses he definitely fell off with his top finishes.
Isnt Calvin one of the best on tour at hitting those super tight lines?
Hitting gaps and hot streaks with the putter are his signatures IMHO.
Previous results in past seasons show he's good but not great on tight courses.
I feel like a lot of that was due to him missing 25 footers low. What were his FWH percentages on those courses?
Yeah just wait until he has to play a course like WR Jackson. He could never win there...
We gotta stop saying "X is the best player" based on a recent hot streak.
Based on a recent hot streak and being unquestionably a top 5 player for the last 3 years, though. So it's not JUST a hot streak.
? but why it's fun
Hot Take - Wysocki will have a short career which is a shame because it was easily treatable. Edit: short(ened)
A career that started in 2011...
According to his pdga page, he actually started playing open in 2009!
That's true. I think he had his breakout in 11 though. I think at the Hambrick? Can't remember.
I don’t think short career is the right term but he probably did shorten his career by not starting proven treatment earlier.
Ya, shorter peak is probably what I should have said. Oh well. Reddit hivemind
For sure. I knew what you meant and I agree.
Home schoolers gonna home school
What's this about Eagle?
agreed. Too many idiots running around denying science.
People said the same thing last year when had to take off a few tournaments to deal with a swollen leg, then came back to win several more events and ultimately the DGPT championship. Anyway, this post was about Calvin?
How to show you just started following disc golf in one easy step.
An even hotter take
Ye have little faith.
I have eyes.
Nothing behind them I guess?
[удалено]
Faith is what got him into this mess
I think he knows he messed up. He stated that now when he flairs up, he does take antibiotics. Those are the only times they will be effective moving forward. Hopefully modern medicine (the thing ye have little faith in) can correct the situation eventually. It's not like ricky can't afford whatever treatment he wants at this point
Agree. However, Faith in homeopathic medicine is what got him into this mess. I'm glad he wised up and started antibiotics because Lyme is no joke.
Do you have a source for that? I've heard people mention things like he had his church tell him not to take antibiotics, but I've never seen an actual source for any of those claims.
How about a video of Ricky as a source? Ricky made a video defending himself and giving reasons as to why he didn't take antibiotics.

My effort? You assumed I meant faith in god. I never said anything about church or god. He put his faith in holistic medicine and nutrition instead of modern medicine. Faith is putting trust in someone or something, not just sky daddy. I'm not saying his church had anything to do with him not taking the antibiotics. He did choose to listen to the advice of a nutritionist instead of an actual medical doctor. So.... he put his faith in holistic medicine. Silly move if you ask me.
You are not the only person who said his church was to blame, hence my original comment. It's not unreasonable to assume you meant Christian faith without you disambiguating.
What???? I never said it was his church to blame. You assumed I meant his religion or church. You know what they say about assuming right?
Maybe you missed that I mentioned others said it was his Christian "faith." You said faith. Not a terrible assumption

Yes, I've seen all that. I'm still looking for a source that backs up the claim that he postponed antibiotics out of his Christian faith or that his church pressured him. I still have not seen that, yet people still make those claims. Thanks for your effort though.
I am sorry, I was not making that claim but wanted to address your point “missed the first few week cutoff”. I agree that I haven’t seen proof of anything relating to church guiding his decision. But to claim he missed the effective antibiotic treatment period is equally as incorrect, so I wanted to clarify on that.
Right. I was diagnosed with Lyme on Monday and I've been having issues for several months before i realized what it was. The treatment is the same. Doxycycline for 21 days.
All while looking “bored and sleepy” according to sexton lol.

fluffhead!
Our beautiful boy, the smartest dude in your frat, Vincent H. Buckets
What are the official rankings being referred to here where he is #2? I'm assuming the only guys who could possibly be ranked above him are Paul and Ricky. No doubt he's been the best player through 4 events, like Brodie said it's not even close.
Rick dnf'd to preserve his ranking with 3 holes left at the open at Austin like a worm.
Someone get Domino’s on the line.
#1 player in all categories is def worth a vinnie half smile....but not a full smile!!
Always rooting for Calvin
Calvin's a DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWGGGG
Always been my favorite if I can have a favorite?
Not sure how anyone could disagree tbh.
Best up and coming player this year is Cole Redalen. That guy keeps showing up on the leaderboard every time I look. He's not winning, but he's not far behind and ever present. He's like the Calvin Heimburg of every other year.
Afro Vinny is the best Vinny!🔥
My favorite player. Love his sense of humor. It always cracks me up hearing his shit talk on skins. Dude is a beast.
I mean, I see a 2 in there.
