It was an emotional night in Columbus as the Blue Jackets played their first regular season home game since the death of Johnny Gaudreau, and it had to have been a roller coaster for one of Gaudreau’s best friends and former teammates, Sean Monahan.

Ahead of this week’s Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas, defending champion Tom Kim commended the PGA Tour’s current structure.
Maybe it’s because he has won the Shriners Children’s Open two years in a row. Or perhaps it’s because Tom Kim is only 22 years old—a man whose energy is comparable to the Energizer Bunny, as he seems to play almost every week.

Nate Tice & Matt Harmon give their reactions to a HUGE day of news around the NFL before dishing out takeaways from Week 6 through the lens of their top ten power rankings.
