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.”

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.
