I know that is odds-on to win the MVP award in the National Basketball Associatio­n.

Harden is having a wonderful season and his team is having a wonderful season, and it is his turn to win, the way it used to be somebody else’s turn when the voters didn’t want to give it to the way they occasional­ly don’t want to give it to But I will ask this question again: What is Harden doing for the Houston Rockets that

isn’t doing for the Pelicans and hasn’t done since went down? Yup, Friday was one of those days at the Valspar tournament in Florida where everybody wanted to make sure still wears a 44 long in a Masters green jacket.

It is worth mentioning once again that not only have the Knicks only won one playoff series in the past 17 years, and lost more games than anybody else in the league in the past 17 years, but they are now about to lose 50 games three times in a row for the first time since the 1960s.

But, well, you know, trust the process. just back to playing tournament­s after giving birth to her first child, will turn 37 in September. will turn 37 in August.

They currently have 43 major singles titles between them. And counting. And are still out there.

Not only has nothing like this ever happened in profession­al tennis, men’s and women’s, nothing like this, or even close to this, will ever happen again.

I don’t care what reasons you get about why the rule had to be changed, from all the windbags who treat golf like church. There is no good reason. I will ask this question again: Just from whom are they protecting the integrity of the sport by not allowing players young and old to use an anchored putter or a long one?

But they have altered the careers of terrific young guys like Keegan, and a former U.S. Open champion, and who won the Masters using a long putter.

This is a rule that really is dumber than a bag of hammers. Or long putters.

of Duke continues to be a dirty player and a slow learner.

You know who else seems to be a bit of a slow learner?

Allen has already cost himself money before he gets out of college.

Beckham might yet do the same, no matter how much he thinks he’s worth.
