TEAM GOLF: The PGA Tour Heads To TPC Louisiana For The Only Pairs Event Of The Season

It’s a bit of a weird one but it’s refreshing. I wish the Tour would tinker with modified formats a bit more often. The European Tour seems to do it all the time. They get weird with it and it’s awesome. The format is this: 80 teams of two, stroke play. 36-hole cut of top 33 teams and ties. The 1st and 3rd rounds are best ball and the 2nd and 4th rounds are alternate shot....

The Celtics Didn't Screw Around And Were Even More Dominant In Game 2. Now They Have The Hawks On The Ropes

2 down, 14 to go. In Game 1, things were over in a blink of an eye. The game started and before you knew it, the Celts were up by 12. Then it was 17. Then it was 25. Then it was 32. An ass whooping like you read about in almost every possible way. Heading into Game 2, my biggest concern was complacency. Sometimes the effort and energy level are inconsistent because they just assume a win is coming no matter what....

To me, they look a lot likeJack Russell’sbut a bit more exotic, which I found rather appealing....

Patriots 2023 Draft Preview: Edge

Like every other franchise, this one is never not looking for their next good one. But unlike most of the others, their needs are very specific. I say this every year, but it’s as relevant now as it ever. But the requirements haven’t changed in New England. The Belichick & Sons defense still employs the “6-4, 4-6” rule of thumb. Meaning players who are 6-4 or bigger, 4.6 or faster....
