Believe it or not, Tiger Woods has not avoided Father Time. The 48-year-old has also undergone a dozen-plus surgeries over the years and nearly lost his right leg following his car crash in 2021. The golf swing, and even his speed, is still very much there, but it’s the walking miles and miles on a golf course that is the biggest struggle these days.
Woods could easily request to use a golf cart during the few tournaments he is playing in these days via a medical exemption, and golf’s governing bodies would undoubtedly oblige.

Teams have thrown every coverage that exists toward their way. It hasn’t mattered.
If there was proof behind the assertion that there is complication to the uncomplicated, look no further than what the Dallas Mavericks decided to run as their first play of the second half of Game 5. Despite a commanding 69-40 lead and vulnerable to resting on their laurels, their unabated hunger for excellence meant there was no room for stepping off the accelerator.

Talk about touching them all on your way out.
Congratulations to former Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore, who slammed the Name, Image & Likeness and NCAA Transfer Portal, which have been systematically soiling so much about college athletics, after his final game Sunday.
Gilmore, 66, previously announced his retirement as of the end of the 2023-24 season, which ended on Sunday with a 12-5 loss at Clemson in the NCAA Regional round.

“The fourth-string offensive tackle gets NIL money,” Gilmore said.

You can’t win for losin’. That’s one of my favorite sayings – frankly, I use it with my wife all the time – and it’s so true in 2024. 
Get this … some NASCAR fans are angry that driver Alex Bowman’s ‘Pride’ paint scheme he’ll be running this weekend at Sonoma isn’t quite gay enough. That’s right!
See? Can’t win for losin’.
Bowman, who drives the No. 48 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsport, is sponsored by Ally. Every year – or at least in the past few years – the company has wrapped his Bowtie in a Pride month paint scheme.

The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff schedule made news on Wednesday because, although we’ve known it was coming for years, it arrived by way of an actual schedule. And that’s the good news.
The better news is that playoff schedule and the NFL schedule we saw released a couple of weeks ago will be joining forces in one delectable buffet of football for the senses from December through January this coming season.
And, yes, America, you’re going to love it because it’s not going to be games we soon forgot.

Joe Mazzulla is the ideal head coach for the Celtics in so many ways.
What does it mean to get “out-coached”?
This phrase is thrown around as an explainer for all manner of failures, from NBA head coaches declining to call crucial timeouts to allowing their team to choke away a game they had well in hand on a putrid final possession. It’s a tale as old as time: One coach made the necessary adjustments while the other stood around as if watching their car get towed.
But most of the time, it’s not elaborated on.

Big Ten newcomers who will make the biggest impact, ranked.
The transfer portal has once again shaken up college football, and this year it’s bigger than ever. At the beginning of May, there were 3,843 names in the FBS transfer portal, a record by a mile margin in the transfer portal era. New faces are in new places and in the Big Ten, this could be the moves that teams need to go from good to great, or from great to a championship contender.

The Los Angeles Lakers are targeting UConn’s Dan Hurley as the franchise’s next coach and are preparing a massive, long-term contract offer to bring the back-to-back NCAA national champion to the NBA, sources told ESPN.

The Los Angeles Lakers are going after UConn’s Dan Hurley to be their next coach, per a report Thursday morning by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Hurley is coming off back-to-back national titles with the Huskies, who would hate to see their coach jump to the NBA.
What would LeBron James think about this move happening? We don’t kow yet, but a few months ago James tweeted about Hurley and it seems like he loves what the coach and his staff have done at UConn.
