'Love it or hate it...': What Shooter McGavin ‘said' about Happy Gilmore 2 reviews
It has been thirty years almost since Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore managed to beat Christopher McDonald's Shooter McGavin at golf, but Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, sees the actor reprise his role as the pro golfer. The profile on X, going by the name Shooter McGavin, has had interactions with Fred Couples, the pro golfer who made a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. (AP) While Happy Gilmore 2 packed a hefty dose of nostalgia and peppered the story with cameos – all designed to take fans down the memory lane – the movie apparently got mixed reviews. While some loved the memories it brought back, others felt the sequel failed to live up to the mark. Amid contending narratives online, a profile calling itself Shooter McGavin has shared its opinions on Happy Gilmore 2 reviews. What Shooter McGavin said about Happy Gilmore 2 reviews? The profile with McGavin's name shared an image with the text 'Hate me or love me, you watched.' The profile captioned it saying 'How I feel about all the Happy Gilmore 2 reviews I'm seeing.' Notably, McGavin is not a real person and is just a character portrayed by McDonald. However, the profile seems to have had very real interactions with actual golfing legends. Fred Couples who has a cameo in Adam Sandler's movie, tagged the X profile named after McGavin and wrote 'Welcome to the Gold Jacket Club,' adding, 'Your Gold Jacket will look good next to the @PresidentsCup trophy!' To this, the X profile named after McGavin replied 'Thank you Fred. The Presidents Cup would look great in my trophy room.' Notably, the Gold Jacket was something McGavin had coveted and lost in the first Happy Gilmore movie. During the filming of the sequel, star Adam Sandler took the chance to give the actor the gold jacket. 'Shooter finally gets what's coming to him,' Sandler wrote when posting the clip of him handing the jacket to McDonald. The profile named after McGavin also shared this video, remarking 'For the record… This was just Gilmore returning to Shooter what was rightfully his.'

What happens in 'Happy Gilmore 2' gold jacket scene? Keegan Bradley, Jordan Spieth explain
With just a few weeks until the premiere of "Happy Gilmore 2" on July 25, it's about time to give you a sneak peek of what will undoubtedly be one of the best scenes of the much-anticipated movie starring Adam Sandler. That would be the Gold Jacket dinner, a riff off the famous Champions Dinner at Augusta National on the Tuesday of Masters week. In the hilarious 1996 original of Happy Gilmore, former Tour pro Mark Lye wears the coveted Gold Jacket in an early scene, which is awarded to winners of the Tour Championship. Shooter McGavin, everyone's favorite golf villain, desperately wants to win it but, well, you know what happens — and if you don't, shame on you. Twenty-nine years later, Happy is back, and a who's who of the golf world joined the set in New Jersey for the filming of the dinner, which was shot over two days. 'That's where we shot our scene after he got his check and he'd won,' Lee Trevino, who had multiple cameos in the original movie – 'I still get residuals today. It's not much. You can buy a Coke,' he said – told News4Jax. 'I was sitting next to Adam (Sandler) after he got his check and he won. Adam was to my right and Nicklaus here (to his left). Fred Couples, Nick Faldo and then we had Corey Pavin and (Xander) Schauffele over at another table. It was fantastic.' Schauffele wasn't the only current player sporting a Gold Jacket for the scene. Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa and Keegan Bradley were there, too. 'It was like every single great historical player was at this day,' Bradley recalled to Golfweek. 'I was with Jordan Spieth and it was just funny to see these guys in the jacket, they're acting in a movie that as a kid that I loved and watched and then here I am meeting Adam Sandler. It was really fun, but also really, really scary. It was nerve-racking when all of a sudden you have this line and then it's like, OK, this part is all around me. I can't screw this up. I got really nervous, but it was great. I can't wait to see it.' Neither can Trevino, who shared that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce played the role of a waiter and – spoiler alert – gets involved in more than just delivering the entrees. 'We got to cheering or something and he chest-bumped Schauffele and knocked him over the table,' Trevino said. 'It was hilarious.' Spieth said that he and Bradley, Fowler, Morikawa, and Schauffele were able to hang out a bunch since they were all on the set at the same time and only needed for the dinner scene. 'I was such a fan," Spieth said of the original Happy Gilmore during a Sirius XM interview late last year. "Weren't we all growing up? Like, people who don't know golf are like, 'Oh, have you ever seen Happy Gilmore?' And it's like, well, we get the opportunity I'm gonna go try and be in it.' And while it still is to be seen how much of Spieth's cameo will make the flick or be left on the cutting room floor, he and the other real-life Tour pros went home with their Gold Jackets. 'I got a copy of the script – just our part – and I'm going to get it framed,' Spieth said.

Bucs owner Bryan Glazer lobbying for Simeon Rice to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Simeon Rice has been announced as the next member of the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor, but Buccaneers co-owner Bryan Glazer is lobbying for Rice to get an even greater recognition. Glazer called Rice 'the missing piece to make our defense one of the greatest of all time' and said that the Pro Football Hall of Fame's selectors have committed an oversight by not putting Rice in Canton. 'From 1996 to 2005, he totaled a league-best 101.5 sacks over those eight years, more than Hall of Famers Michael Strahan and Jason Taylor,' Glazer said. 'During that same stretch, his mark of eight seasons with double-digit sack totals is the seventh most in NFL history, and all six men ahead of him on that list are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Simeon's credentials for induction into our Ring of Honor are unquestioned, but he's equally qualified and deserving of an overdue call from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Notably, he's the only retired player with 100 sacks over eight consecutive seasons who doesn't own a Gold Jacket. It's time to rectify that oversight.' Rice said getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame while his parents were still alive would have meant a lot to him because of how much it would have meant to them, but that after his parents died he thought less about it. 'That's all that meant anything to me,' Rice said. 'The only thing that mattered to me was playing football. I loved this game, and it's how I celebrated my mother and father. And they're not with me. . . . I'm just thinking about my mother and father.' The Cardinals drafted Rice out of Illinois with the third overall pick in 1996. After five seasons in Arizona, Rice signed with the Buccaneers in free agency in 2001 and spent six seasons with the Bucs. He then played briefly with the Broncos and Colts before retiring.
