Comedian Nikki Glaser took the stage at The ESPYs on Thursday night (that’s how you know it’s a big deal, by the way; it airs on a Thursday) and while she was up there she told a joke about Connor McDavid that didn’t seem to sit too well with his Edmonton Oilers teammate Evander Kane.
To me, the ESPYs are like any other award show. I hear that they’re happening the day of and then I say, “Oh yeah, that’s tonight,” and then go about my day as I normally would.

During her opening remarks, Williams joked about everything from Drake’s ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar to Shohei Ohtani losing millions in his interpreter’s gambling scandal. Additionally, she poked fun at the Indiana Fever guard, but it took an unnecessary racial turn.

Similar to the U.S. Open, young Swedish phenom Ludvig Åberg holds the solo lead at the Genesis Scottish Open.
Ludvig Åberg has plenty of reason to smile at the Genesis Scottish Open.
For the second consecutive day, the young Swede signed for a 6-under 64 and has a one-shot lead over Frenchman Antoine Rozner at 12-under-par. Åberg did not make a single bogey on Friday, instead holing six birdies to seize control of the championship at the midway point.
