With his father caddying for him, Robert MacIntyre won the Canadian Open, but his post-round interview won over golf fans everywhere.
Robert MacIntyre barely had any words for CBS Sports’ Amanda Balionis after his thrilling win at the RBC Canadian Open, the first PGA Tour victory of his career.
And yet, the few words that he delivered reminded us why we love golf.
“I’m speechless, to be honest,” MacIntyre said with his thick Scottish brogue.

Oh, what’s that? You guys didn’t get your fill of Caitlin Clark news for the day?
Well, you’re in luck, because we have even more for you on this Monday evening. You are welcome!
This one comes courtesy of ESPN’s First Take, which took some valuable air time away from LeBron James and the Dallas Cowboys this morning to talk all things Caitlin Clark. 
Everything was going just fine, until, of course, it wasn’t. The show went south in a hurry when Stephen A.

Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano is facing a potential lifetime ban for betting after he allegedly placed bets while injured on the Pirates last year.

After a long, drawn-out process – that involved many, many rumors – the Minnesota Vikings finally locked down star receiver Justin Jefferson with a massive contract extension on Monday. 
The deal made Jefferson the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals handed Joe Burrow the highest-paying contract for any quarterback in the NFL. 
Jefferson and Burrow were teammates at LSU in college, and the Tigers social media account let everyone know where two of the highest-paid players in the NFL went to school.

Pat McAfee has apologized for referring to Caitlin Clark as a “white b*tch” during Monday’s episode of ESPN‘s The Pat McAfee Show.
McAfee opened his show with a monologue supporting the Indiana Fever star and slamming critics for saying her race is the only reason for her overwhelming popularity.
“I would like the media people that continue to say, ‘This rookie class, this rookie class, this rookie class.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud believes he’s already a top three signal-caller, and I can’t blame him.
Rapper Gillie Da Kid posted a teaser of Stroud’s appearance on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, in which he listed the top five quarterbacks in the NFL based on their performance in 2023.
Most of the time, when athletes are asked to make these kinds of lists, they will put themselves way higher than they should (see Jayson Tatum). But this time, Stroud was an exception.

ESPN’s “First Take” panel reacted to the drama that unfolded in the WNBA involving Chicago Sky Guard Chennedy Carter and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark over the weekend.

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Witherspoon admits that Chennedy Carter’s rough hip-check on Caitlin Clark crossed a line.
With just seconds remaining in the third quarter of Saturday’s game between the Sky and the Indiana Fever, Carter drilled a jumper to cut Indiana’s lead to 4 points. Then, as the Fever were setting up to in-bound the ball, Carter appeared to call Clark a “bitch” then slammed into her — knocking the No. 1 overall pick to the ground.

Skill Based Matchmaking is one of the hottest topics in the gaming industry in 2024. Players are becoming more and more annoyed at its existence, while developers continue to deny that it is a feature. 
Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) is a feature that will match players against each other based on their skill. This means that lower skilled players won’t compete against professionals, with the idea being that this allows the lower skilled players to continue playing the game. However, if you’re of a high skill level, then every single match feels like a competitive game.

With Akuma’s release we brought the first chapter of Street Fighter 6 to a close. But that means that the cycle starts once more and we again speculate on which characters are coming to SF6. Season 1 was riddled with leaks and fans ended up prematurely knowing the first season of DLC fighters fairly early on. But now, we’re all in the dark. So here are some speculative ideas on who might be coming to SF6.
One of the most beloved (and feared) characters in the Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Makoto is due for an update.
