LIV Golf did not have a TV deal in place for its inaugural season a year ago and according to new court documents, a PGA Tour executive had something to do with that reality.
As first reported by Front Office Sports, the court documents alleging that the PGA Tour interfered with LIV Golf acquiring a TV deal were filed in federal court late Wednesday night. The PGA Tour exec that LIV Golf is alleging had their hand in the situation is Theirry Pascal, the managing director of PGA Tour International UK and senior VP of international media.

The popular sports personality has been off the air this week.
ESPN personality Mike Greenberg has been off the air this week, and now we now why.
The host of the network’s weekday morning show Get Up underwent a heart procedure earlier this week, according to his wife, Stacy.
“For those asking: Greeny had a cardiac ablation on Monday. Recovery is slow, he has to do nothing and believe me….he’s not great at that! We both really, really appreciate all the nice messages.”
A cardiac ablation is a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat.

He reportedly underwent surgery and will be out several months.
Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler recently underwent surgery after suffering a partially torn pectoral muscle while training away from the team, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. It’s unclear at this time how the injury occurred.
The recovery timeline is estimated to be between four to six months. If he were to fully recover in four months, that would put his return in July—in time for training camp. A six-month rehabilitation would push his recovery into the regular season.

Anytime someone passes away it’s a reminder of our own mortality.
It usually goes like this: When we were young it was our grandparents passing away. Then our parents. And then suddenly life happens way too quickly and our friends begin to pass. It’s a terrifying realization that, in the end, we are all here just for a finite time.
We’ve all seen the messages across social media and said during eulogies. “Live your life to the fullest… Experience things you never have before… You only have one life,” etc.

Cameron Boozer, son of McDonald’s All-American and two-time NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, is the No. 1 overall college basketball recruit in the Class of 2025. He still has two years before he has to decide on where (and if) he will play on the next level, but will have his pick of the litter.

Boozer, as a sophomore in high school, already has offers from Arkansas, Duke, Florida State, Miami and Michigan. That list will only continue to grow.
At 6-foot-9, 215 pounds, Boozer has all of the skills that teams look for in a modern power forward.

The 76ers center is the MVP favorite, with head-to-head matchups against his two top competitors coming up.
Back-to-back NBA MVP runner-up Joel Embiid is in position to unseat two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokić and capture the league’s top individual honor with less than three weeks left in the regular season. He’ll have a chance to make his case when he faces his top rivals for the award over the next few days.
Embiid recently passed Jokić as the betting favorite to win his first-ever MVP award.

He decided to call it a career after 14 seasons.
Former Athletics All-Star Jed Lowrie announced his retirement from baseball on Thursday after 14 seasons with four different MLB teams. 
“No one gets to play forever,” he said in the announcement. “And the time has come for me to close the chapter on my playing career.
“To the fans in Boston, Houston, New York and Oakland, it wasn’t always perfect, but I gave my all and I’m grateful for the opportunities to play for you. Thank you,” he continued. “Love never dies though, so I look forward to new opportunities in the game.

The worst kept secret of the NFL offseason is how badly the New York Giants need offensive weapons. On Thursday, they signed free agent wide receiver Jamison Crowder.
Jamison Crowder is a nice player. This is not to take anything away from him. But he’s never topped 850 yards receiving in a season. He has two touchdown catches in the past two seasons.
He turns 30 years old in June. This is not the type of “offensive weapon” Giants fans are dreaming about. This is the type of “offensive weapon” that causes Giants fans to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
