Underdog Yankees?! Phil still swinging & that ugly hit on Adams . . .
Say it again, and for the last time in the regular season: The Yankees aren’t some underdog team like the ’69 Mets.
The Yankees were built at the trade deadline to make exactly the kind of run they’ve made, and not just to be first runner-up in the American League.
never came close to winning as many majors as did.
Phil was the guy who was the next best player when Tiger was the best player in the world, for an incredibly long time.
And there must have been times when Phil wanted to be Tiger. Everybody did. But you wonder right now, as Tiger watches Phil still getting after it this way in the Presidents Cup, if he wouldn’t change places with Philly Mick, in a heartbeat.
Mickelson made fun of himself Friday for cropping himself out of a photo with three former Presidents, and
Made fun of himself for a pretty bad “Three Amigos” dance number after winning a match for his team on No. 18 at Liberty National.
But then he grinned and said, “But I can putt.” He can still putt. And still play. By the way?
is as great as ever talking about golf on television. The television networks probably hope that the memory of the FBI coming in to clean up college basketball – because the NCAA never really has – will have faded by next March, when it’s time for everybody… to go dancing!
Anybody who watched what happened this week, with the arrest of assistant coaches and guys from shoe companies and the effective end of career at Louisville because of a scandal that actually isn’t going to go away or get any smaller, has to know that we are watching the end of modern NCAA basketball as we’ve known it.
That means college basketball in the world of Shoe Company America. And you know where else? AAU America, too. The of Friday afternoon against the Blue Jays is the Tanaka at whom the Yankees threw all that money.
The president going after the mayor of San Juan on Saturday morning was as inevitable as the tide once said this:
“I will do what I never thought I was going to do: begging. Begging anyone that can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy.”
But then this was the weekend after most of the president’s social media attention was focused on what he apparently viewed as the greatest threat to all Americans: Anthem protests in the NFL. Not only should
of the Bears have been suspended for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless on Thursday night, the referee for Bears-Packers, should get suspended for a game, too.
Trevathan should have been tossed from the game as soon as Adams’ mouthpiece, which got knocked out of him in the moment when Trevathan tried to knock Adams’ head off, hit the ground.
And almost as bad as the hit was the reaction afterward from some of Trevathan’s teammates, all the ones who said the poor guy was just trying to make a football play.
It was another reminder that the main event in pro football is never going to occur during the national anthem.
The main event is brain injuries. I said this a couple of weeks ago: The Red Sox aren’t as good as the Yankees. And the Red Sox aren’t nearly as good as either the Indians or the Astros. It was a very cool thing the other night at my alma mater Boston College to watch the great conduct his “Star Wars” theme with the Boston Pops.
at this stage in his career, is exactly where he belongs, and that doesn’t just mean somewhere other than Madison Square Garden.
Not only isn’t he expected to be the best player on his team in OKC.
He doesn’t even have to be the second-best player.
It will feel a little bit like the Olympics to him.
How crazy would it be if the Jets were 2-2 by the end of this football day and the Giants were 0-4?
I blame for Hurricane Maria.
