The 16th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open is the most exciting hole in golf. The short Par-3 is surrounded by grandstands that are packed with thousands of rowdy fans and Arizona State students.
Fans get there early and get rowdy. And of course, there is no shortage of adult beverages.
Here is how it looked at 7:00 a.m. (!!) last year, for example:

Ohio State players stick together.
The New York Jets are the cool kids of the NFL.
By kids I mean literally. The Jets went home with both the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards this season with Garrett Wilson taking home the former and Sauce Gardner the latter. It is pretty rare for a team to clean up like that.
With all due respect to Gardner and his incredible rookie season it was Wilson who caught the attention of some players who are hoping to be a rookie of the year themselves come next February.
I don’t know when it exactly happened, but society has gone soft.
It didn’t happen overnight, but there is something going on across the country where so many people, organizations, companies and yes even sports teams are losing it.
The most recent example involves the Brooklyn Nets giving thanks to their former point guard, Kyrie Irving.
Is it weird for a team to bid farewell and best wishes to a former star if they retire or head to a different team? Of course not.
Unless we’re talking about KYRIE IRVING HERE.

Despite the blockbuster trade, NBA fans seem to be over the idea of Kyrie Irving as a true difference maker in the league.
One of the best players in the NBA was traded this week and fans don’t seem to think it will make much of a difference at all.
In less than a week Kyrie Irving demanded a trade and quickly found himself leaving Brooklyn and headed for the Dallas Mavericks. The trade made the Mavericks backcourt, along with Luka Dončić, arguably the best in the NBA.
See the big bets Drake has placed for Super Bowl LVII between the Chiefs and Eagles.
The Super Bowl is easily the most-watched and most-wagered event in the American sports calendar. In the days leading up to kickoff, sportsbooks historically post on social media when celebrities place big-money bets.
On Thursday, Stake.com took sizable wagers on Super Bowl LVII from rapper Drake. The Grammy Award winner placed a series of bets totaling just less than $1 million in strong support of a Kansas City victory.

Since its inception in 2006, the World Baseball Classic has been a fun event for hardcore fans, but it has never quite shed its reputation as a silly little World Cup wannabe. To an extent, this is understandable. Despite baseball’s global reach, soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world.
Just look at some of this year’s WBC rosters, which were revealed last night on MLB Network, and you’ll notice more U.S.

The Cleveland owners have reportedly been trying to get into the NBA recently.
Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam and the Haslam Sports Group are interested in buying a stake in the Bucks, Sportico reports. Haslam would buyout Milwaukee co-owner Marc Lasry’s 25% stake in the team.
Lasry has been a primary co-owner of the team along with Wes Edens since the two bought the franchise in 2014 for $550 million.
Money has always played a role in recruiting across college football, but NIL takes things to a whole new level. When the NCAA passed its “interim” bylaws on Name, Image and Likeness on July 1, 2021, it changed the landscape of collegiate athletics forever.
Where relatively small amounts of money used to exchange hands under the table during the recruitment process, lucrative financial deals are being signed in broad daylight. It’s legal.
Jaden Rashada’s wild journey is the perfect example of the modern era.
The top seeds remain in Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA Tournament projections, while Kentucky and North Carolina both appear on the bubble.
