As upsetting as it is that another week of football has come and gone, think of it as a blessing in disguise if you stupidly continue to bet your hard-earned dollars on it. Soon it will all be over and your wallet will thank you, until you start betting college basketball and dig a hole […]

Read MoreAustin Cook: Choosing Q School Over Med School
It's Wednesday before the 2016 Web.com Tour Championship. I'm sharing a house in Jacksonville Beach, Fla., with my wife, Crys, and Zack Sucher and his wife. We're hanging on the beach in 40-mile-per-hour winds as Hurricane Matthew approaches. I'm 27th in the standings, needing to move into the top 25 to earn my PGA Tour […]
Read MoreZion Williamson is your new president and supreme commander
On Sunday, a very lackadaisical Duke team decided they didn't need to play defense to beat the Army Black Knights, and while that turned out be correct—the Blue Devils scored 94 points and won by 22—it made for a less inspiring spectacle than the merciless 34-point beatdown of no. 2. Kentucky on Election Night. The […]

Read MoreVijay Singh's closing 61 gives him four-stroke win, while Bernhard Langer again wins Charles Schwab Cup
It took Vijay Singh until his 40s to hit his stride on the PGA Tour, so maybe it should be no surprise that it has taken him to his mid 50s to hit his stride on the PGA Tour Champions. Singh, 55, began the final round trailing by six, but posted a 10-under par 61 […]
Read MoreHow'd Your Team Do, Twitter Edition: Jets get murdered by Matt Barkley, which should just about do it for Todd Bowles
As a Giants fan, the last thing I should be doing is talking smack about the equally-painful-to-watch Jets, but man, they are such an easy target. Gang Green just has a way of losing games in such catastrophic fashion that you can't help but watch in awe of their futility. On Sunday they added another […]
Read MoreThe clubs Gaby Lopez used to win the Blue Bay LPGA
Gaby Lopez turned back the No. 1 female player in the world to win the Blue Bay LPGA Championship in China on Saturday despite some shaky play down the stretch that belied her steady play over the first 54 holes. Lopez finished with a one-over-par 73 that was good enough to win by one over […]
