Rather than play home games in summer humidity and rain, MLB has heavily back-loaded the Rays’ schedule with road games.

Tiger Woods has made his decision on whether or not he will play in next week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
Tiger Woods will not be playing at the Hero World Challenge next week, the tournament he hosts every December in the Bahamas.
He made the announcement on social media.
“I am disappointed that I will not be able to compete this year at the Hero World Challenge, but always look forward to being tournament host and spending the week with Hero Motor Corp,” Woods said on X on Monday.

Saquon Barkley‘s career day against the Los Angeles Rams even had his teammates asking questions.
The new Philadelphia Eagles running back exploded for 302 total scrimmage yards on Sunday Night Football, helping the Eagles handily beat the Rams, 37-20.

Barkley ran for a career-best 255 rushing yards. 
Due to his heroic performance, one of his teammates hit him with a drug test.

Kansas sophomore Damon Greaves had quite the cheering section on hand for the Jayhawks‘ game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday. Unfortunately, they never got to see him in action.
Greaves’ family traveled all the way from Busselton, Australia — that’s nearly 11,000 miles away from Arrowhead Stadium, where the game was played — just to watch their favorite punter take the field. Instead, though, he sat on the bench for the entire 60 minutes.

Well, it’s rivalry week in college football, and one of the most intense games in the country will take place on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, when Auburn plays Alabama in the Iron Bowl. 
Let’s be honest, when it comes to these two teams facing off every year, there is enough trash talking to fill the entire season, and we usually get it in one week. To understand the Iron Bowl, you really need to live in the State of Alabama to truly appreciate the hatred between these two groups of fans, and players.

The Mountain West Conference volleyball tournament will proceed as planned – and feature transgender San Jose State player Blaire Fleming – after a federal judge denied a motion for injunctive relief that was part of a lawsuit against the conference. 
Judge S. Kato Crews, a Joe Biden-nominee who was confirmed along part lines by the Democrat-controlled Senate in February, denied a series of motions that sought to disqualify Fleming from playing in the tournament and to negate losses by teams that forfeited games against SJSU during the regular season.

As we’re headed to Thanksgiving Day and a full slate of games and turkey, we’re going to dedicate this edition of NFL highs and lows in terms the holiday understands.
So the highs will be about Faith, Family and Football.
And the lows will all be labeled turkeys.
Let’s go…
The Kansas City Chiefs: You can always count on them. Have faith in them. Believe in them.
They aren’t the most talented team. They aren’t the most explosive anymore. But they’re always sound. They usually do enough to win. And usually deliver.

You can add Charles Barkley to the very large group of folks who are not a fan of how the Los Angeles Lakers are handling Bronny James so far this season.
Bronny being drafted by the Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft to team up with his father, LeBron, was inevitable and a move that the vast majority of dads out there would make if they were in LeBron’s situation. 
We’re long past the point of being frustrated with the Lakers for spending an actual draft pick on Bronny, who did nothing during his one season at USC to earn to be selected in the draft.

Fred VanVleet was not happy with the officials, and definitely got his money’s worth while letting them know as he was ejected from the Rockets’ loss to Portland on Saturday.
Fred VanVleet is no stranger to blowing up at NBA officials, but his tiff with the referees in the closing seconds of the Houston Rockets’ 104-98 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night was extreme even by his standards — which is why it ultimately resulted in a $50,000 fine that the league announced on Monday, Nov. 25.

Maverick McNealy’s biggest fan is his grandmother, as he has a special bet with her almost every week.
Family means everything to Maverick McNealy, which helps explain why he recently hired his brother, Scout, to become his full-time caddie.
But nobody cheers harder for McNealy than his grandmother, with whom he has had a special “deal” with ever since turning professional some eight years ago.
