Spieth, one of the most talented golfers in the world, missed the cut at the Colonial Friday, posting another 2-over 72.
Jordan Spieth is universally recognized as one of the most talented golfers on the planet. But you certainly wouldn’t know it by how he has been playing as of late. Spieth missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge Friday.

After getting bounced from the NBA playoffs in four games by the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James shocked a lot of people with what sounded like retirement talk. One person that wasn’t impressed by it — at all — was Charles Barkley.
And he has been more than happy to let people know.
While retirement is an inevitability, what bothered Barkley wasn’t that LeBron was kicking around retirement publicly. It was when he did, and perhaps even more so, why.

There’s been smoke swirling for months Colorado and other PAC-12 programs might be getting ready to run for the lifeboats as the conference’s fate hangs in the air.

Willy Adames left the Brewers’ game against the Giants on Friday after he was struck by a foul ball from his teammate Brian Anderson during the bottom of the second inning.
The Brewers shortstop was sitting in the dugout when Anderson smacked a line drive that hit Adames on the left side of his head. The 27-year-old immediately walked to the steps, sat on the bench, leaned on Milwaukee’s associate pitching coach Walker McKinven before receiving attention from medical officials. 
After a brief pause in the game for Adames to receive medical attention, he walked to the team’s clubhouse.

Kenny Pickett walked out of a radio appearance only to find that his car was missing.
C’mon Pittsburgh car thieves. You can steal any car you want. Any. But the Steeler’s quarterback’s car should be off-limits.
There’s no way in hell anyone would’ve ever done this to Roethlisberger…
Pickett was at a car dealership — a Chevy dealership, if you must know — where he was attending an event put on by radio station 93.7 The Fan.
However, once that was all wrapped up, Pickett went to hop in his 2023 Genesis SUV. The only problem was that it was nowhere to be found.

A fifth Lions player from their 2022 roster is reportedly being investigated by the NFL for possibly violating the league’s gambling policy, according to The Athletic’s Kalyn Kahler.
Friday’s report comes after the league suspended four other Detroit players—wide receivers Quintez Cephus, Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williamson and safety C.J. Moore—for violating the NFL’s gambling protocols in April.
Kahler reported that the most recent player suspended was not a “prominent member of the 2022 team.

J.J. Watt had a message for those doubting the future of DeAndre Hopkins on Friday in the aftermath of the star receiver’s sudden release from the Cardinals.
Watt, Hopkins’s former teammate with the Texans and Cardinals, appeared to be among the many NFL fans and pundits with thoughts on Hopkins suddenly becoming one of the top free agents on the market. In fact, according to Watt, the team that manages to land the 30-year-old wideout would be adding a skillset not found on any current roster.
