Three days after golf course architect Keith Foster pled guilty to federal charges of illegally transporting between $250,000 and $500,000 in items made from endangered species, his most high-profile golf client has fired him. Congressional Country Club president Bev Lane sent a letter to the membership on Saturday announcing that the Board of Governors at […]

The New Jersey Devils and Ottawa Senators have each had pretty disappointing starts to the NHL season. Ottawa's was to be expected, as their GM said as much by saying very little during the preseason. The Devils, on the other hand, were poised to get back to the playoffs for a second straight year, something […]

Forrest Fezler won a PGA Tour event and worked alongside renowned course architect Mike Strantz on many of his most notable projects, including his last, the renovation of the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

Hield, who is enjoying a breakout campaign with the Sacramento Kings in his third NBA season, told the Kings' broadcast team before Monday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves that he was born in 1992. Somewhat interesting, considering almost every media outlet—including ESPN, Yahoo, […]

John Tortorella's relationship with the media has been tense at best and toxic at worst throughout his career. The Columbus Blue Jackets head coach loathes the press conference, has no time for stupid questions and has never been afraid to single out certain reporters that draw his ire. His most famous, or infamous, relationship was […]

Golf World just wrapped up its countdown of the top 25 Newsmakers of 2018, a ranking of players, events and moments that mattered this past year. It’s a good list, but in all honesty, it fell short in presenting the stories of a highly underappreciated, yet critical element, of our sport. An element that fills […]

The Manny Machado sweepstakes are fully underway, and while the Philadelphia Phillies were once a slight favorite to sign the infielder, the latest odds have the New York Yankees as the clear cut favorite. They may be an even bigger favorite if the oddsmakers watch the video of Machado's arrival in Philadelphia on Thursday. No […]

It's been a little while since we've heard from Gritty. Partly because the Flyers and Eagles stink and suddenly all of those good Philly feels have come back to the mean a little bit, and partly because post-Halloween, giant orange monster popularity generally takes a bit of a dip.
