Nobody, probably not even Lucas Glover himself, thought anyone would be writing a headline about him winning back-to-back PGA Tour events at the age of 43, but here we are. Glover not only beat an incredibly strong field at TPC Southwind, but he defeated the sun to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship as well.
For how great Glover was over the weekend in Memphis, Tommy Fleetwood put on a display of how not to win a golf tournament like only he can. This is, of course, nothing new for the Englishman.

These are the rookies that impressed us in the first week of NFL preseason.
The NFL preseason is barely enough time to make full reads about what a player can or cannot be in the upcoming season. With limited time going against second and third stringers, making any massive conclusions about a player’s talent level is a little bit of an overreaction.
However, some rookies can use the time to get acclimated to the NFL level and put their physical tools to the test. Some players take time to do that, while others stand out immediately.
It was a less-than-ideal start to the preseason for 49ers quarterback Trey Lance on Sunday and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky is ready to call it a wrap on the 23-year-old’s tenure in San Francisco.
“I don’t think Trey Lance can play in Kyle Shanahan’s offense,” the former NFL quarterback said on ESPN’s Get Up. “I’ve seen enough.
Lance threw for 112 yards and one touchdown pass while completing 10-of-15 passes against the Raiders but was sacked four times in the 35–7 loss.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts became the latest NFL player to sign with Nike’s Jordan Brand, it was announced on Monday.
The star quarterback sported Air Jordan cleats during the entire 2022 season, a year in which Philadelphia finished 14–3 and reached the Super Bowl, which they lost to the Chiefs.
Now, the 25-year-old is officially working with the Jordan Brand as a signed member of the team.
Jumpman revealed Hurts’s deal announcement with various videos on Instagram, which includes some close-ups of various styles of Jordan Brand shoes.
Peyton Manning’s time at the University of Tennessee isn’t done just yet.
Manning graduated from UT back in 1997 before he had one of the most-decorated NFL careers in the history of the league.
The man is the most famous athlete associated with the Volunteers, and there’s likely not a close second. When you think UT football, you think Peyton Manning.
Tennessee Volunteers alumnus Peyton Manning returning to school as a professor.
WE’RE ALL LOOKING FOR THE GUY WHO DID THIS!
The biggest mistake a football fan can make it taking NFL Preseason too seriously. Thankfully WGN in Chicago realized this as well, as sportscaster John Frydman blanketed his coverage of Bears vs. Titans with as many I Think You Should Leave references as possible, before doing the same with Cubs vs. Jays.
An “I Think You Should Leave” themed sportscast? RANDOM.

A new season is officially underway with the Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1 commencing over the weekend. While the Bundesliga and Serie A will have to wait another week, the transfer market is still in full swing.
PSG seems to be the center of attention with key actions being taken by its top superstars, but the Premier League is plenty busy getting its business done.
Here is the latest from the summer transfer window.
Latest Rumors and Done Deals
In an almost unbelievable news break, Kylian Mbappè is now in talks to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
During NFL games, there are always various graphics comparing teams or players on opposing sides. Most of the time, these graphics show an interesting statistic to set the players apart, like how many career touchdowns or passing yards they have.
However, on Saturday’s preseason game between the Jets and the Panthers, fans couldn’t help but laugh at one of the graphics showing the differences between New York quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Carolina rookie signal-caller Bryce Young.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have become as close as you can get both on and off the field and their brotherly relationship was on full display this week when the Chiefs tight end gave his quarterback some high praise.
The All-Pro tight end was talking about Mahomes’s appearance on the new Netflix documentary Quarterback and said this is just his next step in Mahomes slowly conquering everything he touches.
“You keep seeing him on this slow incline of taking over the world,” Kelce told NBC’s Peter King.
James Harden started Monday’s news cycle with some major drama when a clip of him at an Adidas event in Beijing went viral where he absolutely blasted 76ers president Daryl Morey. Naturally, the NBA world reacted and how could it not?
“Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be part of an organization that he’s a part of,” Harden said. “Let me say that again. Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of in the NBA.
