Wow. That Shinnecock Hills golf course at the US Open is really tough. Who would have guessed Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, and Jordan Spieth world class linksters all, would all miss the cut?
I almost spit out my Mountain Dew when I saw the promo on TV. "From the mind of Kobe Bryant" is supposed to be can't miss viewing?
Get outta here.
That makes about as much sense as, say....
From the humble abode of Donald Trump, or
From the kitchen of Jeffrey Dahmer, or
Tips on marriage fidelity from Tiger Woods, or
101 ways to act like a classy lady, by Roseanne.
You get the drift.
Dang. Can it be?
Former sports agent supreme Lee Steinberg, the guy who once represented tons of high profile jocks, could get an audience with the President, and was reputedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars --- is now an ambulance chaser? Like that Sam guy and his kids? Oh my, how far the mighty sometimes fall indeed.
According to Sport Illustrated, tiny Iceland, with an entire population about the same as Peoria, is the favorite to win the soccer (futbol) World Cup?
Wouldn't that be something?
Count me in as rooting for them, but I still lean towards Mike Ditka's take on the sport in general. To wit -- "If God wanted us to play soccer, he wouldn't have given us arms". Touche.
And if not Iceland, I've got Italy #2, for no other reason than I really, REALLY like Italian food.
I wouldn't want to be in Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson's shoes. On the one hand, he has quarterback Carson Wentz, a recent top draft pick, that they expected to be the face of their franchise for many years. But when he got hurt last year, unheralded Nick Foles stepped in and led them to an improbable Super Bowl victory over the Brady bunch from New England.
So who's he going to designate the starter when the NFL kicks off in a few months?
Tough call.
