Chicago Cubs fans are skittish creatures. They hate black cats more than a Puritan priest, cling to an irrational goat phobia like grim death, and would rather name their children Diarrhea Face than Steve. I guess that's what 108 years of torment will do to the collective human psyche.
If you thought things were going to Get Better® now that the Cubs finally broke their curse, however, you clearly don't know sports fans. In fact, success—and the fear of losing it—has only made things worse. By late May, with the Cubbies hovering around .500, some fans simply gave up on the season. To the surprise of no one but those Cracker-Jack-stress-eating basket cases, the Cubs made a second-half rally and now lead the NL Central by three and a half games.

Safety Quin Blanding, appearing on coach Bronco Mendenhall's radio show, asked Mendenhall if he'd take the team on an outing to Birdwood Golf Course in Charlottesville if the club enjoyed a non-losing campaign. Mendenhall, citing the team's “Earned Not Given” mantra — which sounds like the result from a “generic sports team slogan” generator — promised Blanding an..

A really easy golf question snuck its way into Tuesday night's episode of Jeopardy! and one man took advantage. OK, so technically, it was a golf answer (You know how Jeopardy! works) and this episode from the Teachers Championship originally aired May 9. Still, it’s always exciting when golf makes it onto the show — even if it was done in a sneaky way by that sly dog Alex Trebek.

Heres another example of the good that can come from social media. Though the devastation in Houston from Hurricane Harvey has been hard to watch, the power of the human spirit is alive with volunteers and law enforcement officers risking their lives to rescue others, and those pledging money and humanitarian efforts to help those in need.
