Gates opened at 6:30 AM and by 6:35 AM, Theresa from Brooklyn, MN had already staked out her spot on 18, a front row seat to what is sure to be a thrilling finish at the @3MOpen.

@MattDeLuca You know Matt I normally don’t engage with folks like you. I have access to the tee sheet. Looks like you’ve played the blue course more than 25 times in 2026. Why do you continue to patronize the property if it’s in that poor of shape. I dunno Matt.

Some photos from East Potomac Golf Links this morning. Virtually unplayable for the 692 people on the tee sheet today on the blue, white, and red courses.

UPDATE: The Iowa man lost... and you're not allowed to read why. On July 9, 2026, a federal judge in Des Moines granted DraftKings' summary judgment motion and denied Bavas's. Judgment was entered for DraftKings... but the ruling is SEALED. The public docket has a one-page judgment and nothing else. Bavas is fighting to unseal it. DraftKings is fighting to redact more. Here's what's currently blacked out: internal Slack messages showing DraftKings froze all four tournament markets when it saw the weather coming, reopened them, kept taking bets, and discussed voiding everything after Round 3. The court also denied DraftKings' attempt to keep discovery (including a ChatGPT log) away from third parties. A bill of costs filed July 23. DraftKings wants their legal costs from Bavas. I will update this if anything else becomes available.

22 years ago today: July 24, 2004, Jason Varitek stuffed his glove in A‑Rod’s face at Fenway on national TV. The Sox then stormed back with 3 in the 9th off Mariano, capped by Bill Mueller’s 2‑run walk‑off. An 11–10, four‑hour chaos classic that flipped the whole season.

On June 4, 1974, the Cleveland Indians had one of the worst ideas in sports history: 10 cent beer night. A cup of Stroh's went from 65 cents down to a dime. Limit of six per trip to the counter, but you could go back as many times as you wanted. So basically unlimited beer. It gets better. A week earlier these same two teams had brawled in Texas, so Cleveland fans showed up already wanting blood. About 25,000 packed the stadium, way more than expected. By the middle innings it was total chaos. Fans were setting off firecrackers, throwing hot dogs and rocks, and running onto the field. A woman flashed the crowd. A father and son ran out and mooned the outfield. Streakers everywhere. Rangers manager Billy Martin just stood in the dugout blowing kisses at the drunks screaming at him. Then the Indians tied it 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th. That's when it fully broke. A kid ran out and grabbed Rangers outfielder Jeff Burroughs' cap. Burroughs stumbled, and Billy Martin thought his player was getting jumped. So he grabbed a bat and led the entire Rangers team charging onto the field to fight the crowd. Then the Indians came out with bats too, to protect the Rangers from thousands of drunk fans. A reliever got hit in the head with a steel folding chair. The umpire, Nestor Chylak, got cut by a thrown rock and a piece of a stadium seat, and needed stitches. He forfeited the game to Texas on the spot and called the fans "uncontrollable beasts," saying he'd never seen anything like it "except in a zoo." The best part? Cleveland had four more beer nights already scheduled that season.

looks like he just got RINSED at the dog track. love it.

@BenAxelrod @bostonradio He was awful anyway. His arrogance turned corny at times, it became awkward and at times ridiculous. Henry and Lalas were both superior. Superior to them both were Chricharito and the Schmeichal’s. Zlaten was a tremendous player, but not good in the studio

¡ESCÁNDALO EN TURQUÍA! 🚨🇹🇷 Un gol de Fernando Muslera está siendo investigado en medio del presunto caso de amaño de partidos que sacude al fútbol turco. ⚽️ Todo apunta al penal que convirtió el arquero uruguayo en la victoria 3-0 del Galatasaray sobre Kayserispor, el 18 de mayo de 2025. 🤝 Según las acusaciones, ese penal habría sido pactado para beneficiar una apuesta con una cuota de 130.00, aprovechando que era el guardameta quien ejecutaría el lanzamiento. 💰 La investigación también señala que Maruf Güneş, vicepresidente del Galatasaray, habría apostado 5 millones de euros al gol de Muslera y utilizado las supuestas ganancias para ayudar a financiar el fichaje de Victor Osimhen. 👀 El caso continúa bajo investigación y promete sacudir aún más al fútbol de Turquía.

So this could turn out to be a World Cup final.

In Alabama a man said "Roll Tide" to me as a greeting. Later that same day, the same man said "Roll Tide" as a goodbye. I asked a woman at the store what it means. She said, "Roll Tide." I asked what it means. She said, "It means Roll Tide, sugar." So I began collecting evidence. I kept a list. I am not embarrassed about the list. I have now heard "Roll Tide" used as: hello. Goodbye. Thank you. I am sorry. Congratulations. That is unfortunate. I agree. I disagree. And once, in a hardware store, as a complete set of instructions for installing a ceiling fan. I heard it said at a funeral. It was appropriate. It was the most appropriate thing anyone said that day. I began using it. Carefully at first, the way a man handles a borrowed sword. I said it to a cashier. She said it back. I said it to a police officer who had stopped me for a broken taillight. He looked at me for a long moment. He looked at my face. He looked at my taillight. Then he said it back, and nodded once, and did not write the ticket. I wish to be extremely clear that I am not claiming those two events are related. I am also not claiming they are unrelated. A man at a gas station heard my accent and asked where I was from. I told him Japan. He said, "Roll Tide." He meant welcome. I knew he meant welcome. There was no ambiguity at all. I have been in Alabama eleven days. I have one word. It has been enough for everything. I have started saying it in other states. It does not work in other states. I said it in a warehouse store in Oregon. One man turned around. He was from Alabama. He said it back. We did not speak after that. We did not have to. I say it anyway.

Canes 48% to win ACC this year. We have the bull’s-eye on our chest, but that’s just the way we want it.

Some memories one year ago today…. #NaduFlew
