It was the final day of the US Open and the number one golfing amateur in the world, Gordon Sargent, stepped up to sink his last shot of the tournament that would see him out to a final score of 3 over par. It was a fairly simple putt. A straight-shooting three-footer that anyone in the tournament should be able to make. Sargent stroked at the ball with his putter, the ball went straight into the hole…then back out. He stood, stunned. Much like the rest of the crowd and people on Twitter. The General Consensus The general reaction…

New year, new pavement, and new speed. All of these melded together into a chaotic concoction of an IndyCar race at Road America. It was a day of spins, thrown gravel, and clouds of dust. That is the nature of the beast when you come to a freshly paved race track. Early Incidents It would only take the first corner for Road America to claim her first victim. Kyle Kirkwood went get into the back of Pato O’Ward, causing himself to spin. At the end of his spin, Kirkwood would stall his car bringing out the first caution Once the…
The air was still, the greens soft, and the Bermuda rough unforgiving today at the Los Angeles Country Club. Golfers from around the world gathered in southern California for a chance to win the US Open. There were many questions going into round one today. Can Max Homa handle the spotlight? Will an American win the US Open for the first time in three years? Can Brooks Koepka maintain his winning reputation when it comes to majors? Those questions only scratch the surface of the many storylines revolving around this tournament. Course Has Bite This course has been difficult for…
It has been a fascinating, if not turbulent, year for Pato O’Ward. It seems as though he has taken on the “checkers or wreckers” mentality. Whenever a driver takes on that mentality it is always great for the fans, but rarely beneficial for the driver. That seems to be the case with Pato O’Ward. He either finishes in the top 5 or he plants his car into the fence. To no one’s surprise, Pato taking on this mentality has ruffled quite a few feathers in the paddock. Or at least Scott Dixon’s feathers may have resulted in retaliation on O’Ward…
The last week or so has been nothing to write home about for the Brewers. The Brew Crew hasn’t put one in the win column in a week when they played the Orioles last Wednesday. With the Brewers losing in heartbreaking fashion in the series opener vs. the Twins, they need a win in the worst way. Injuries Partially to Blame When you play in a sport that has a 162-game season, injuries are just a part of the game. The question for most MLB clubs isn’t IF your team is going to get hit with an injury bug, it…
This was a rough one. Coming off being swept by the lowly A’s it felt like things couldn’t get worse, but the Brewers seem to have outdone themselves. It is even worse to waste a monster performance from your star. Christian Yelich must be in the clubhouse wondering what else he has to do to get this team back in the win column. Yelich Dazzling Performance After getting swept by the A’s last series, Yelich stepped into the batter’s box with one objective: Annhiliate the baseball. This beautiful man had a fire in his eyes and hate in his heart.…
Josef Newgarden is one of the hottest drivers in the IndyCar paddock at the moment. Winning the Indianapolis 500 will do that for you. Now Newgarden goes to a track he won just a year ago, the historic Road America. This win got the monkey off his back from 2021 where he was in the catbird seat to take home the checkered before suffering mechanical issues on the final restart. This time Newgarden will look to replicate the magic that we saw last year and take another trip to victory lane in Elkhart Lake. Last Year’s Magic It certainly helps…
Tyrone Taylor’s injury struggles have been extremely apparent this season. His elbow first became an issue earlier this year during spring training. The Brewers tried to get him right by giving him a PRP injection before the season, but to no avail. Tyrone Taylor would miss out on the first month of the season before he was able to step into the batter’s box for the first time in the 2023 regular season Second Bout With the Elbow Tyrone would only last another month before finding his elbow failing him once again. His struggles when he was playing this year…
Ever since the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship back in 2021, every other franchise has been deeply analyzing the reason for their success. That Bucks team was the antithesis of the “super team” model that has taken hold of the NBA since Lebron left Cleveland the first time. The 2021 Bucks showed the world you didn’t need three super max contracts on the books to compete. Celtics Hire Charles Lee The Celtics made a move today in an attempt to capture some of that Milwaukee Magic. They went out and got Charles Lee, Milwaukee’s associate head coach. The job…
