Phil Mickelson is making his season debut this week in the Saudi International and will be doing so many pounds lighter. It seems as if Mickelson followed the same regiment Tom Brady did last year that caused him to develop a completely new face.
Mickelson recently spoke with Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated and revealed that he’s down to his “college weight” after losing 20 pounds during the offseason.
Photos ahead of this week’s event in Saudi prove Mickelson isn’t lying, it looks like he’s lost 20 pounds in his face alone.

The new manager of the Hillsboro Hops, the High A affiliate for the Diamondbacks, is paving a path for women in the game.
Ronnie Gajownik, fresh off a season coaching in Double A and the Arizona Fall League, and one of only 11 women coaches in pro baseball, was cleaning her blinds one day in October when the phone rang. It was Josh Barfield, the Diamondbacks’ farm director.
After exchanging greetings, Barfield told her, “We want to talk to you about next season. So, we’d like you to be in Hillsboro … wait. Hold on. I’m getting another call.”
What seemed an eternity passed.

Trade rumors involving Aaron Rodgers are being tied to Nathaniel Hackett yet again, and this time around the veteran QB isn’t exactly suppressing them.
After Hackett took the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos last offseason many believed Rodgers would follow him. Now, after a failed stint in Denver, Hackett has been hired as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, one of the teams that are reportedly looking to lure Rodgers out of Green Bay this offseason.

People in Tom Brady’s circle reportedly don’t expect him to hang it up.
Brady briefly retired after last season before ultimately returning to the Buccaneers. Once again, all eyes are on the seven-time Super Bowl champion as fans await a decision on what he will do.
The Tampa Bay Times published a lengthy look at Brady’s options moving forward, and apparently, people with knowledge of his thinking don’t think retirement is on the table.
“Brady hasn’t decided whether to continue his career, although many close to him believe it’s likely,” Rick Stroud reported.

Arian Foster had the perfect reaction to claims the NFL is rigged.
For reasons I’m not sure anyone really understands, people have been lobbing claims that the NFL is rigged following the Chiefs beating the Bengals. Instead of accepting that human refs are going to make mistakes (just like any profession involving humans), people seem to believe there’s a vast conspiracy underway.
The NFL, which displays extreme incompetence at times, is also supposed to be able to rig games without it immediately going public.

Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken continues to get NFL looks after winning another national title.
