LIV Golf may still be playing the waiting game when it comes to whether or not it will be receiving Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points, but its chances of being rewarded have certainly improved thanks to recent developments.
According to DP World Tour Chief Executive Keith Pelley, himself, the DP World Tour COO, and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan have recused themselves from the case regarding LIV Golf’s application to receive OWGR points.

Some see it as good luck, others see it for what it is: seagull excrement. However you see it, Alexander Zverev took a shot of it to the dome at the Australian Open.
The Australian Open is held in Melbourne and for those not up to speed on Australian geography (first of all, why the hell not?) the city sits right on a large bay called Port Philip. So, it should come as no surprise that seagulls are a dime a dozen.
They can often be seen circling courts at the Australian Open.

U. S. Soccer is trying to figure out what the future of the Men’s team is going to look like. Fans are growing restless waiting on a decision about the future of head coach Gregg Berhalter.
Over the weekend, General Manager Brian McBride was relieved of his duties. He has been on the job for 2 years. They tweeted the decision over the weekend, adding in a comment about the head coaching decision.

Cincinnati’s star quarterback continued to make his gripe with the league well known on social media.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are headed back to the AFC championship game for the second year in a row after cruising past the Bills in the divisional round with a 27–10 victory Sunday afternoon in Buffalo.

The situation that played out over the weekend at Bethune-Cookman was one in which both parties probably wish they could take back. When Ed Reed was brought onto the campus near Daytona Beach it was a move beneficial for everyone, especially a football program trying to make a splash.
But, after a few weeks of back and forth between the administration and Reed, we would soon find out that this relationship wouldn’t get very far.
Hall Of Famer Ed Reed took his brash flamboyant style to Bethune Cookman and the sides clashed.

Both players are set to hit the open market in March unless the Giants can strike new deals.
Now that the Giants are entering their offseason, they have significant decisions to make about two big names on their team. Both quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley are set to hit free agency in March.
On Monday, general manager Joe Schoen spoke for the first time about both players’ futures. In Jones’s case, Schoen said the team wants to get a deal done after the quarterback had a solid season in 2022.
“We’d like Daniel to be here,” Schoen said about Jones.

The playoffs and league rules are slowing down the process with five head coach openings and more than 10 offensive and defensive coordinator positions still available.
This is a good time to reset the coaching carousel and, as it stands, there are two general manager jobs filled, and none open, with five head coach openings, and none filled. Even all 10 of the offensive coordinator openings out there remain.

At the time, the picks seemed reasonable as Buffalo was the favorite to win the AFC championship.
As the NFL season nears the Super Bowl, it’s always a fun time to look back at preseason predictions to see whom the experts thought would be in this season’s big game.
