There’s a ton going on in the world of sports at the moment, and for the most part it is all contentious and/or controversial. One such thing that falls into that category has to do with Serena Williams. The American tennis star, who only came back from having a child months ago, has been on…

Alabama, Biles Roll Yet Again, Peterson Meets With Redskins
It’s an old familiar look to the AP poll. Alabama is #1. The Crimson Tide will begin play in the top spot for the third straight season, becoming just the third straight team to do so. Of course, they have essentially ‘earned’ this slot by being the defending National Champions after defeating Georgia last year…
Brooks Koepka Steals the Show at PGA Championship, Eclipses Tiger
If there were ever any reservations about the quality of golf that would be on display at this year’s PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club, that was laid to rest for good on Sunday in the final round in St. Louis. The tournament simply had it all, and ratings will surely come back to show…
Saved By the Rains? Bellerive Gets Crushed at PGA Championship
Golf tends to do this to us. One major, usually the US Open, or maybe the British Open, will be super tough, allowing very few to break par. That happened in this year’s US Open. Actually no one broke par. And then there’s a reaction. And this year’s reaction comes at Bellerive Country Club in…
Newcomers Dominate First Round of the PGA Championship
Golf’s fourth and final major of the season has a way of sneaking up on everyone. It’s not been a long since the British Open took place, and some are already looking toward the Ryder Cup. Better yet, their focus is on another sport entirely. That is what the PGA Championship is up against. In…
NASCAR’s Big Day Ruined Hours Later By “Leader”
NASCAR’s biggest day in a long, long time came on Sunday as the son of a legend kick started his career with a victory at Watkins Glen. Chase Elliot, the son of Bill, a champion in his own right, took a victory in front of a euphoric sellout crowd, showing NASCAR that there was still…
Tiger-Phil Reportedly Set for Thanksgiving Weekend
A couple of months ago, news came down that a long hypothesized fantasy match up pitting Tiger Wood and Phil Mickelson was closer to happening than we could have imagined. Both golfers would go on to confirm the plans, and the stakes were raised when it was announced that they would be playing each other…
Geraint Thomas One (Small Step) Toward Tour de France Victory
It’s gone under the radar quite a bit in recent years after the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong and the various scandals that have surrounded cyclists, but this year’s Tour de France has been quite a memorable one. And with just one stage to go on Sunday, it looks like the winner of the…
Thrilling Open Championship Ends in a Molinari Victory
Coming into Sunday, the destination of the Claret Jug this year was totally up in the air. Any number of men had a chance to win, ranging from last year’s winner Jordan Spieth to steady Kevin Kisner to Tiger Woods (and those are just the American names). Others, too, had a great chance to take…
Spieth Hands Back Claret Jug, Open Pairings Announced
Football may not be coming home, but golf is about to do so. This coming week, beginning on Thursday and hopefully ending on Sunday, the Open returns. Of course, some will refer to this as the British Open, but we all know why it should be called simply The Open. While it won’t be contested…
