The New York Mets Are A Luxurious Dumpster Fire

This Mets season has been a boring nightmare. The team is mediocre in every facet of the game. They’ve looked lifeless for long stretches. After a 101 win season, they might just be the most disappointing team in baseball. That’s saying something with the Cardinals, Padres and Phillies all playing like dog shit as well. There are so many issues with the Mets, it’s hard to target one area to fix....

Zero-emission cruise ship with retractable solar sails set to launch in 2030

That could soon change, at least along the magnificent fjord landscape of Norway. Cruise ships are amongthe most pollutingmeans of travel. They utilise enormous amounts of fuel, and generate a ridiculous amount of waste. Meanwhile, some economies rely on cruise ships and their passengers. Norway, as a whole, may not be entirely dependent on income from Hurtigruten. However, the communities along the route count on regular visits from the cruise ships for their livelihood....

Details Are Starting To Emerge About The Shocking PGA Tour-LIV Merger: How It Came To Be, Who Knew, And The Players-Only Meeting

That includes players of all levels on the PGA Tour. Collin Morikawa had no idea. Neither did Joel Dahmen. And, it turns out, neither did Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods. Because the negotiations were between a very, very small group of people....

Pro Tip on How to Address the PGA-Saudi Partnership: Don't Say 'Nobody's Perfect' Like Bryson DeChambeau Did

I have a sort of informal agreement with the people who play pro golf and launch the sport. And that arrangement has worked out pretty for as long as I can remember. And that’s of course great. I just don’t expect more from them. Those guys who could hit it 350 off the tee and had great short games." Call me overly cynical. Still, even with those low expectations, it’s astonishing how often these guys manage to fall short....

The Colts Can't Start Anthony Richardson Week 1 With Minshew Mania Looming Over His Shoulder

I want Anthony Richardson to succeed as much as the next Colts fan. That’s the dream. Which is why I’m saying, kindly do not start Anthony Richardson in Week 1.

The PGA Tour Is Off To Toronto For The RBC Canadian Open At Oakdale Country Club

Note:I wrote all of this a couple of hours before yesterday’s news broke. To summarize it clearly:holy shit. So yeah… nobody but Rory has won this event since DJ won at Glen Abbey in 2018. 9 more holes were added in the last 1950’s, so the club has 27 total holes. Great reminder that par is just a construct. Line the teebox with hockey boards, throw a hockey sweater on, and let the crowd rock....
