If you are an American golf fan this week, get ready for some late nights and early mornings. Pro golf is on the other side of the world.
Three of the four largest pro golf circuits are in Asia this week, making it difficult for American fans to watch.
The PGA Tour is in Japan for the ZOZO Championship, which features a strong field headlined by Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele. Justin Thomas is there, making his final start before becoming a father at the end of November.

Michelle Beadle does not feel sorry for Deshaun Watson.
During the Cleveland Browns’ 21-14 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Watson went down with what was later revealed to be a season-ending ruptured Achilles. Normally, an injured player on the field results in a moment of silence from the crowd followed by bipartisan applause once the player gets up or is helped off the field. 
But not this time. Browns fans erupted in cheers as they saw their quarterback lying motionless on the ground.
According to Beadle, she would have been right there with them.

The 2024 World Series is, in some ways, the polar opposite of the 2023 World Series. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers had few stars, small national fan bases, and little name recognition. Despite playing in huge markets, Phoenix and Dallas, there was virtually no outside interest. And poor television ratings were an unsurprising result. 
Last year was effectively the lowest rated World Series ever.

Consider this the first twist in that explosive storyline featuring LeBron and Bronny James we warned you about yesterday.
The James family’s team-up is set to be the most talked-about topic of the new NBA season, and Wednesday’s latest development shows that it can branch out beyond the basketball court—perhaps into the legal court.
On Tuesday, hours before 39-year-old LeBron shared the court with Bronny for three minutes at Crypto.com Arena, the tandem hoopers were named as defendants in a Los Angeles County lawsuit stemming from a car crash in 2022.

The Celtics’ ring night was a day of reckoning for the NBA
The apocalypse is now for the Eastern Conference.
Now ascendant, the Boston Celtics have begun their coercive crackdown on contenders and pretenders alike. The New York Knicks, perhaps the only team in the East with the talent to do something about this, were embarrassed by Boston on opening night. Is there any hope?
In their active offseason, acquiring both Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks were planting the seeds of revolt against the Celtics.
