Monday Rap: Nick Dunlap Makes History, Rory Reigns In Dubai (Again) And The Tiger Woods Apparel-Watch Heats Up

You’d hardly blame Nick Dunlap for collapsing. Regressing to the mean, so to speak. The 20-year-old Alabama sophomore had outpaced 155 professional golfers for 61 holes. But water always finds its level. Amateurs do not win tournaments on the PGA Tour. It hadn’t happened for 33 years. Guys have made runs, held leads, but closing the deal iss another proposition entirely. But Nick Dunlap is different. The kids these days are different....

The War on Mac Jones Takes a Bizarre Turn as He Gets Ripped Just for Being at Jerod Mayo's Press Conference

I’ve seen Boston turn on its own before. I’ve watched once-admired and appreciated athletes become Masshole Enemy No. 1 in short order. It happened with the Chicken and Beer Red Sox of 2011. And if I want to go way back to my childhood, Jim Plunkett. He was the vessel into which a fanbase had poured all their frustration. But he was just the latest of such tragic figures.
