If U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson is taking input from players already on the squad about whether or not Brooks Koepka should be a captain’s pick, he’s already gotten votes of approval from both Scottie Scheffler and Brian Harman.
Koepka fell from the No. 5 spot to No. 7 following last week’s BMW Championship leaving his fate for Rome in the hands of Johnson and a captain’s pick.

Earlier this week, I shared what I considered to be the ultimate fantasy draft for a team playing in a 10-team league. More and more fantasy enthusiasts are playing in 10-team leagues. Of course, 12-team leagues are still quite popular and common, so it’s worth trying this exercise in a 12-team format.
Regardless the format, the perfect draft.is what we strive for in the world of fantasy football. Imagine a draft so impeccable that you barely need to make any roster moves all season, outside of injuries and bye weeks. It’s fantasy nirvana. And it’s within reach. (No really, it is).
Trey Lance could be on the move after the 49ers reportedly sided with Sam Darnold to be the backup quarterback for Brock Purdy this season.
The 49ers traded multiple first-round picks to the Dolphins to select Lance at No. 3 in the 2021 draft. Now San Francisco might be looking to recoup some draft capital with Lance possibly no longer in its long-term plans after the emergence of Purdy, who guided the 49ers to the NFC title game last season.
Prior to capturing the 2010 Heisman Trophy at Auburn, Cam Newton was a backup quarterback at Florida as the school returned to prominence under coach Urban Meyer.
As such, Newton is well-qualified to speak on the widely criticized Netflix documentary Swamp Kings, which chronicles Florida’s program during Meyer’s tenure from 2005 through ’10, which included two national championships.
Among the issues Newton had with the documentary was how Netflix portrayed former Gators QB Chris Leak, who was the starter on Meyer’s first national championship team in 2006.
Each year, one of my favorite fantasy football experiences is a big draft I do in my community with friends and neighbors. I share a team and, thus, share responsibility for the final drafted product. After evaluating our roster last year, my good friend had this succinct (and accurate) takeaway: We had a lot of busts. The question was: Why?
The answer? Obsessions are momentary but feel like certainty. Last year, I would have told you that the outside-zone scheme was finally going to topple and destroy the NFL. I bet big on Travis Etienne, Javonte Williams and AJ Dillon.
We all know that Texas and Oklahoma will be the biggest attraction for opposing teams this season in the Big 12. While both teams prepare for a final season in the conference, Commissioner Brett Yormark is having fun at their expense.
The final season for the Longhorns in the Big 12 will lead to teams looking to knockoff Texas as a parting gift on their way to the SEC. So, it really shouldn’t be surpassing that Brett Yormark is having a little fun at the expense of the nearly departed.
FIFA announced that it has opened a disciplinary case against Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales after he kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory.
A three-person disciplinary committee led by former Colombian judge Jorge Palacio will determine whether Rubiales violated “the basic rules of decent conduct” and “behaving in a way that brings the sport of football and/or FIFA into disrepute,” per the Associated Press.
Earlier this year, Charles Barkley signed a new 10-year deal with Warner Brothers Discovery, formerly known as Turner Sports.
However, the outspoken analyst made it clear during an appearance on the SI Media With Jimmy Traina podcast that he has no intention of coming close to working that long.
When asked whether he really signed a 10-year contract after repeatedly saying he was going to retire soon, Barkley confirmed the length of the deal while adding a huge but.
“Well, yes. but they wanted me to let people know I wasn’t leaving, like, next week,” said the 60-year-old.
Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick isn’t a fan of the current state of college football
Fans have seen some shocking realignment moves over the past 16+ months, and none have been more shocking than the complete and total collapse of the PAC-12. Arizona, ASU, Utah and Colorado will join the Big 12 starting in 2024, and Oregon and Washington will join UCLA and USC in the Big Ten next summer.

The biggest storyline at Zandvoort Thursday? Cookies
Formula 1 is back this week, with the Dutch Grand Prix bringing the summer shutdown to an end. If early reports from Zandvoort are any indication, there is one dominant topic ahead of the Grand Prix this weekend.
Stroopwafels.
No, not Max Verstappen’s pursuit of his ninth-straight victory, which would tie the mark set by Sebastian Vettel back in 2013. No, not news on driver lineups for 2024, which might dismay Haas a bit, given that the team announced that Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hülkenberg would be back for next season.
