Tremendously proud of this: "Family Album," our first short film. It's the story of Rama Jama's, the University of Alabama diner that's been a landmark for generations of students and decades of game days.
Watch the trailer below, the full doc on YouTube:
At gymnastics, Scottie Scheffler says he watched Suni Lee do a faceplant in warmups and then get right back up. “I don’t know how to compare that to golf. Like hitting a shank and then getting punched in the face.”
Gary Woodland on how he switched from basketball to golf: “That decision got forced on me. I had to guard Kirk Hinrich, and I realized, I’m going to have to do something else.”
So here's a badass story: talked to a skier whose father had ridden 10,000 miles, by BIKE, to come watch him compete in the Olympics. Set out in February 2017, arrived last week. Amazing.
This night is reminiscent of Ryan Newman’s catastrophic wreck at the end of the 2020 Daytona 500. So much paramedic activity, so much fear, no news. Newman eventually came through. Hopefully Hamlin has a similar outcome.
I sincerely hope this sets off a cascade of Bruce Springsteen ad appearances.
Like, I want to see him singing “Thunder Road” in a hemmorhoid cream ad. Let’s go all in.
When my kid and his friends shoot anything at any hoop — basket, trash can, anything — they all shout “Kobe!” even though they have no meaningful memories of watching Bryant play. A tradition that ought to continue.
Quite a lot has happened at the PGA Championship this morning. Here's what you need to know right now:
-Constant rain this morning in Louisville
-Traffic accident outside Valhalla Golf Club that involved a pedestrian fatality
-Scottie Scheffler -- who was not involved in accident
Just a surreal scene here. Kaepernick and crew arriving at a high school field. We’re right next to the ticket booth ($7, no refunds) waiting to get in.
Running back: Ball can graze the ineffable plane of the goal line like a delicate wisp of feather; touchdown
Receiver: Ball must be held, clutched, locked in an underground vault for two generations, still not a touchdown

Cool thing about being an Atlanta sports fan is that the scar tissue on your soul is so thick that an 11-run inning hurts about as much as a gentle rain shower

Augusta National is in the process of sending out lottery notifications for the 2020 Masters right now. It’s like sorority bid day for middle-aged white dudes.
The so-called 'worst rule in football' -- fumbling through the end zone and losing the ball -- isn't really wrong at all. I explain here, in a short 28-word version and a long 2,000-word version:
The only real tragedy about the Great Baker Mayfield Schlumpy Detective Outfit is that it showed up three days too late for every Cleveland fan to use as a Halloween costume
Straight up, I’ll offer an apology here. I wondered how in the world NASCAR could have mistaken a pull loop for a noose. This photo shows they didn’t…and all you need to is take one look at this to realize why it was taken seriously. The noose doesn’t have “tied in 2019” on it.

It wasn't an overhand loop. It wasn't a garage pull. It wasn't a fishing knot. It was a noose. You know it was, and you know what it represents. Don't believe anyone trying to talk you out of what you know is the truth. Column:
I want to recommend the president consider pardoning four veterans sent to prison under dubious circumstances. They remain on the loose following an escape. It's time to bring them in from the cold.
