If beer was the party partner of choice, the Arizona Diamondbacks were in the right town to do it on Wednesday night.
The Diamondbacks swept the Brewers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – a beer mecca. They took the National League Wild Card Playoffs with a 5-2 win Wednesday and a 6-3 victory Tuesday. It was their first playoff series victory since 2017, manager Torey Lovullo’s first season in Arizona.
Just two years ago, the Diamondbacks finished 52-110. But they decided to keep Lovullo then and through a 74-88 season of improvement last year.

A major fire broke out on Thursday at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the host of last week’s Ryder Cup just outside of Rome. The fire erupted just before 5:30 PM local time when a three-story grandstand near the first tee was quickly engulfed in flames.
“A fire was reported in one of the temporary hospitality structures to the right of the first fairway at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club earlier this afternoon,” a statement from Ryder Cup Europe read. “Local fire crews were called to the scene at 5:07 p.m. local time and quickly brought the blaze under control.
Whether you call it the Tush Push or the Brotherly Shove, when the Philadelphia Eagles need a yard, they call upon one play.
The NFL is a copycat league, and football’s a copycat sport, so it should be no surprise that the NFL’s most infamous short-yardage play is being put to use in college football. In Week 5, at least 11 college teams ran the play. LSU, Penn State, and Minnesota were among the teams that scored on it from goal line situations.

After Thomas and Koepka called out Alan Shipnuck, he responded on social media and offered a timeline cleanser.
When Alan Shipnuck’s exclusive excerpt from his new book “LIV and Let Die” went live, various parts of it went nuts on social media.
One element that blew up was this anonymous comment about Rory McIlroy from a former Ryder Cup teammate.
“F**k, Rory. I’m so sick of hearing how he’s some kind of hero who is saving golf.

How likely are the Bears to pick at No. 1 and No. 2 in 2024 NFL Draft?
The Chicago Bears weren’t supposed to be the worst team in the NFL again this season. After finishing 3-14 a year ago as the team traded away its two best defensive players midseason in Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn, Chicago landed the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, entered free agency with the most available cap space in the league, and set out to load up on talent around young quarterback Justin Fields.
Here are our picks for Week 5 in the NFL.
Another week in the books. Another opportunity to learn very little about where the NFL stands. We enter Week 5 with parity being the story of the league so far with dozens of teams failing to live up to expectations in a variety of ways.
This comes in the form of some teams not taking the step forward we expected (Chicago, Carolina, New York Giants) as well as those on the bubble we thought could get over the hump (Chargers, Browns, Vikings). What we have now is the table set to really learn something about these teams moving forward.

Kirk Cousins is one of the most famous people in Minnesota. He can probably get anything he wants, anywhere in the state. But, by NFL quarterback standards, he seems like a pretty normal guy. He wears lame clothes and loves to fire up the grill on his days off (even if what he cooks doesn’t always look appetizing).
