“I don’t think a ball would have stayed,” Koepka said after play was stopped at The Open Championship. “The guys we were playing with even backed off five, six times. I’ve never seen a ball move like that in winds like that. When you’re on the most exposed hole like 11 and the wind is pumping there with gusts (of 45 mph), if I had to guess, it’s not exactly playable in my opinion....
The video shared by Melanie Horn on TikTok talks about the coincidence and how fortunate her canine companion is that the two owners learned that their dogs were related. The clip shows the two pups playing while Sam Fischer’s “This City” plays in the background. “A woman approached me in the dog park to point out how similar our dogs look,” Horn wrote. “We found out we adopted from the same shelter outside of the city....
Why are the Kurds the target? Turkish Kurdish separatists have been battling for an independent state in southeastern Turkey since 1984 (map). That’s why the Turkish government is attacking them. But the Iraqi Kurds are now battling the Turkish Kurds, too. The Turkish separatists’ organization, the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), was long given sanctuary in Iraqi Kurdistan by Kurdish guerrillas, the Peshmerga, fellows in arms. The PKK used those northern Iraqi bases to pursue its fight against Turkey-a war that has claimed 5,100 lives since 1984, 2,000 of them in the last year....
And, according to the NFL Network, the Browns and Texans are two teams that would be interested. MORE: Six destinations for Kaepernick | IYER: QB needs Niners more than they need him The Browns, with Josh McCown listed as their No. 1 QB, clearly are in the market for a starting quarterback and have the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, while the Texans are looking for an upgrade over frequently injured Brian Hoyer....
Robinson’s decision pales in comparison to the league-wide suggestion of a year-long ban for Watson, who has been accused of misconduct and sexual assault by more than 20 women (Watson has settled lawsuits with all but one accuser). Assuming there’s no appeal, Monday’s announcement ensured that Cleveland gets its star quarterback for more than half its games this year. That should only bolster the Browns’ chances of making to the playoffs…or beyond....
The Cleveland franchise is the latest to be heavily affected by the NFL’s COVID-19 outbreak. After the league recorded the highest number of positive cases since 2020 on Monday, the Browns learned Tuesday that they will play without stars such as wide reciever Jarvis Landry and tight end Austin Hooper. As the announcement came about four days before the Browns are scheduled to host the Raiders, the players who went on the list today will likely not be available for the AFC matchup....
The 25-year-old Browns wide receiver will instead enter an in-patient rehabilitation program, according to a statement released by the team on Thursday. MORE: Week 4 picks | Against the spread “After careful thought and deep consideration I’ve decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility," Gordon said in the statement. “This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person....
We all know Norman is an annoyance on the field, which is part of his job, but he does it better than others. Last week, he carried Odell Beckham Jr. and held him up like he was Simba from the Lion King. Pryor says that won’t be happening with him. MORE: These 10 NFL corners can talk all they want “Me? I’m 6-5, 230,” Pryor said about Norman’s head games....
However, it doesn’t appear that the hold-up in signing a contract is anything serious. As detailed by Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians in a recent appearance on the Pewter Report Podcast, Brown is dealing with a knee injury that requires surgery. It’s not a major one, but it’s enough of an issue that he wouldn’t pass a physical with the team right now. “He has to pass the physical,” Arians said....
Boston’s long-time goaltender was replaced ahead of the third period Monday night by Jeremy Swayman. There wasn’t any injury update about Rask during the game, so that raised questions from the Bruins faithful. Was Rask being pulled because of his poor performance? He had allowed four goals on just 16 shots during the game. Or was there an injury component to Rask’s outing? MORE: Bruce Cassidy calls out officials, Islanders after Bruins loss...
Chelsea chase Lewandowski Tudor took charge of Galatasaray in February and Bruma did not need long to win over his new coach with his ability - evidenced by his stunning volley against Spain in the European Under-21 Championship on Tuesday. Nevertheless, Tudor was not impressed with the way the 22-year-old behaved on and off the pitch while under his charge. “I like Bruma a lot, he is still young, but already a top player,” Tudor told Bild....
He stands by the content of his message, which, once you get by the expletives, was basically telling the media to back off. He was upset with the fact that the media was trying to get information about the team, or in other words, doing its job. The tirade he had was during an exchange with Cincinnati Enquirer’s C. Trent Rosecrans, a beat reporter for the Reds. He was wondering about the absence of catcher Devin Mesoraco and Price didn’t want to reveal that information as it could benefit opposing teams....
Reds general manger Walt Jocketty told reporters Saturday that Price will return for his third season as the Reds skipper. Price, who is 139-183 at the helm since taking over for Dusty Baker, will enter the final-season of his three-year contract.

The Nationals slugger crushed a first-inning pitch from Braves right-hander Julio Teheran into the upper deck in right field at Nationals Park.

Nationals slugger Bryce Harper, the crown jewel of the group, and his superagent, Scott Boras, undoubtedly know this better than anybody. And when 106.7 The Fan host Grant Paulsen broached the possibility that Harper could become the first player to score a $400 million contract, the 22-year-old NL MVP scoffed.

DeChambeau, who leads the PGA Tour with a driving average of 323.7 yards, wasted no time showing off his strength, driving all the way to the green on 373-yard, par-4 Hole 1.

I love the atmosphere, it’s such a great place to go with friends and family,” Watson said in a press release. “There’s something special about pulling for the hometown team, I look forward to a long and exciting partnership with them.” In honor of the partnership, the restaurant and bar behind home plate will be renamed Bubba’s Sand Trap and will serve a Bubba Dub Grilled Cheese, a double decker grilled cheese sandwich with crispy hash browns inside....
At one point last week, it felt as if we were watching the same type of game we’ve been accustomed to seeing with the 2022 Buccaneers – a solid enough showing by a defense that slowly wears down as the offense is unable to manufacture scoring drives. Well, that wasn’t exactly the case, as the defense held strong in the second half, holding the Rams to just six points over the final 30 minutes while the offense finally clutched up with a scoring drive in crunch time....
