The moment through my lens:

Wide receiver Jayden Reed and the Packers now have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $50.25 million in new money, including $20 million guaranteed, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman.

Jim Furyk accepting the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy is the golf equivalent of that scene in an action movie when the grizzled ex-operative is sitting on his porch, finally at peace, when a black SUV rolls up the gravel drive. Furyk doesn't even turn around. "No." The suit gets out anyway. "It's Adare Manor. We're sending you in." Furyk takes a pull from his beer. "I already did my tour. You know how that went," as he stares off into the distance, the camera cutting to a yellowed NYT newspaper with the infamous interview on his desk. The suit slides a dossier across the railing. "Bethpage was a disaster. Morale is gone. Half the roster won't return our calls. You're the only one they'll follow into Ireland." You can see it in Furyk's eyes — the math of a man who knows this is almost certainly going to end badly, who remembers exactly how cold the Atlantic wind gets on foreign soil. He knows nobody else is walking through that door. He also knows this Hail Mary is the only thing that can free him from the past. Furyk picks up the folder, seeing a photo of a smiling Luke Donald shopping for shampoo and a headline announcing Patrick Reed is back in form. Furyk goes to his shed, takes off the tarp from his captain golf cart. "One more thing," the suit says. "Bryson is thinking about being a full-time YouTuber." Furyk laughs. "Good. For a second I was thinking this was going to be too easy."

At this immediate moment: No team in MLB has scored more runs than the Washington Nationals. No team in MLB has allowed more runs than the Washington Nationals.

If LIV folds abruptly as reports indicate, the good news is that players can file breach of contract claims against the Saudi Public Investment Fund in the courts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
