Kritik und Lob » not the only tech company competing with bro

AKRON, Ohio -- Every once in a while, Jordan Spieth reaches his tipping point -- or maybe his boiling point.On Saturday evening, following comments critical of Firestone Country Clubs 16th hole after a third-round triple-bogey, Spieth reacted to a Golf Channel tweet that suggested he was complaining about the holes setup only after the fact.He explained that, like many other players, he believed the 655-yard hole would play better from 50 yards shorter, an opinion he made known well before his Saturday stumble.When a headline reads, kind of, Makes triple-bogey and blames the hole, Im like, I dont think that was fair because I talked about that hole last year, the year before and [in] a video of it Wednesday, he said after Sundays final round. I was not blaming the hole after I made an 8. I had already previously said that, and I just happened to just miss-hit a shot.After reading the tweet, Spieth responded with two of his own to explain his previous position on the matter.I certainly dont ever want to go down as a whiner or complainer or anything because we live the life, Spieth said. We truly are very, very lucky to do what we do, and I dont take that for granted, and I dont ever want to go down as high-maintenance or complaining about any situation, but at the same time, you guys want honesty, and Ill tell you what every single player says is thats a much better hole from 50 yards up.Spieth is an emotional player on the golf course, but he has spoken at length in recent weeks about maintaining perspective inside the ropes while trying to remain less frustrated. Off the course, he tries not to read the criticism about himself but admits it does happen.Only when Im really bored, he said with a laugh. Certain locations where theres not a whole lot to do. This week is one where youre just in a hotel. I didnt really have anybody come to the tournament, so I just go back, and Im just sitting there, and you can only flip through so many channels before youre just kind of on your phone.During Saturdays third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Spieths triple-bogey on the par-5 famously dubbed The Monster took place when his third shot found the pond bordering the greens front side. After taking a drop, he airmailed the green.When he saw his complaint of the hole tied to how he had played it, Spieth felt compelled to respond.I was just a little frustrated with that being out and kind of maybe giving off as me complaining because I didnt perform on that hole, he said. But all in all, I shouldnt really get involved in social media. It doesnt do anything for me.With a final-round 3-under 67, Spieth finished in a share of third place,?three strokes behind winner Dustin Johnson. Ironically enough, it was the same differential that he lost on the 16th hole one day earlier.Yeezy Italia . -- Derrick Rose shook off poor shooting early to hit clutch shots late and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 104-95 preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.

Its hoping that live video of sports and other events will help stimulate more interest in its service.Its a crucial time for the faltering company that is trying to improve stagnating user growth, not to mention boost its appeal to advertisers.The apps, which are free, will have all the live-streaming video available on Twitter. Besides the football games, this includes content from the NBA and Bloomberg News. It will also have other Twitter content, such as top tweets and Periscopes (video from Twitters live-streaming app).Users wont need a Twitter account or a pay-TV subscription to watch the content. But they will be exposed to advertising from Twitter -- and ideally might be lured into signing up for an account.In July, Twitter announced live-streaming partnerships with Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League to show out-of-market games. These are games that are not shown oon local TV channels.dddddddddddd. As part of the deal, the once-a-week live streams of the games are available to logged-in and logged-out Twitter users in the United States, Twitter said. The deal also made MLB games available worldwide, except in some international territories.Twitter is not the only tech company competing with broadcasters for streaming rights. Last year, Yahoo Inc. won the rights to broadcast for the first time a regular season NFL game across all devices -- including phones, computers and tablets. It showed the game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars played in London. Such broadcasts, which make games available to people without pay-TV accounts, can also serve to expand the international audience of the sports events.Twitter Inc. has never made a profit, and in the most recent quarter posted a 20 percent revenue increase, compared with 59 percent growth at Facebook. It averaged 313 million users a month in the period, a gain of just 3 million from the previous quarter. Facebook has 1.71 billion users. ' ' '
