For a sport steeped in stately tradition and the slow unfolding of tension, golf is looking a whole lot like the hypercharged, quick-cut, meme-heavy NBA these days. Just as you can keep up with the flow of an entire NBA season without ever watching a full game, you don’t need to know who won last week’s PGA Tour event — or last month’s LIV tournament, for that matter — to ride the sport’s waves of status quo-shattering news.

Patrick Reed filed a lawsuit against the Golf Channel and commentator Brandel Chamblee on Tuesday, claiming that the two “conspired” with the PGA Tour to defame him. Reed, who filed his suit in U.S. District Court on Tuesday, is seeking more than $750 million in damages. He is being represented by Larry Klayman, a controversial former prosecutor who has filed a number of notable failed lawsuits in the past. Reed won nine times on the PGA Tour in his career, including at The Masters in… Source link

The summer of 2007 was a scary and dispirited time for the Los Angeles Lakers. They were deeply mired in mediocrity with seemingly no way out, and after losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Phoenix Suns for the second year in a row, Kobe Bryant went off. He infamously demanded a trade, and with just two years to go before he could opt out of his contract and become a free agent, it looked like the beginning of the end of the Lakers as millions had come to know them over the… Source link

Bronny James isn’t ready to make his college decision, even though it feels like everyone else is clamoring for it. After rumors swirled about LeBron James’ oldest son on social media on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers star quickly shut them down. Bronny, he said, hasn’t even been on an official visit anywhere yet — meaning Oregon can’t be the “frontrunner,” as one report claimed. “He hasn’t taken one visit yet and has only had a few calls with coaches and universities,”… Source link

Lane Kiffin got a bit creative when finding Ole Miss’ next punter this fall. Kiffin locked down punter Charlie Pollock at a frat party, which feels like a recruiting tactic that only he could pull off. “I don’t know a whole lot about him. I think he was down at the frat house at a keg party or something where they got him from,” Kiffin said on Saturday. “We’ve got some conditioning work to do with my guy.” Now, Pollock isn’t just some random greek life member. Pollock was a… Source link

(Photo by Amy Kaplan/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) UFC president Dana White hadn’t had a great rant in a while, but that changed on Tuesday during a 23-minute interview with Yahoo Sports. White erupted when asked about comments he made about fighter pay during a video last week with GQ. For the interview, GQ gave White questions from Twitter and he answered them. Most were innocuous — one asked if he… Source link

Justin Jefferson‘s unbridled confidence knows no bounds. Fresh off his second consecutive 1,400-yard season, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver not only said he can crack 2,000 receiving yards (which would break an NFL record) but he also believes he’ll be considered the best pass-catcher in the NFL by season’s end. Yes, better than Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams — whom Jefferson said is No. 1 right now — and Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, who led the league in… Source link
