Austin Cook and Talor Gooch shot 8-under-par 64s to take the lead after the first round of the Houston Open

Rich Beem made the most of a rare PGA Tour start on Thursday, firing an opening 69 while wearing a wild shirt.

If, at this time last year, you put money on Gritty still being a relevant cultural figure in October 2019, well, you're probably looking at real estate in Aspen right now. Initially a directionless, dream-haunting abomination, the Flyers mascot gained traction quickly, entertaining the Wells Fargo Center's beer- and blood-thirsty crowds on a nightly basis while moonlighting as a woke political icon. By the end of October, Gritty had taken over Halloween. By Christmas, the world.
But it didn't stop there. When hockey returned to the public eye earlier this month, Gritty's star burned as bright as ever thanks to the unveiling of the Flyers' new Gritty C.O.M.M.A.N.D Center—where you can get full Gritty makeover from the monster himself—and Rage Room, perfect for taking out Gritty-esque mischief on a variety of household items.

The skies wept, the hot dogs went cold and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” suddenly rang hollow. But fear not, fans of girth and gas (the fastball kind, not the other…though probably that too), because Big Sexy is officially back!
Well, sort of.
On Wednesday, Colón officially announced his new memoir, which promises to tell the story of Colón's rise from a humble coffee picker in the Dominican Republic to one of the most beloved names in baseball. The literary game-changer, titled 'Big Sexy' for obvious reasons, is co-written by Bartolo himself and Michael Stahl, a Queens native with bylines for Rolling Stone, Vice, and more, and will feature over 100 color photographs chronicling the 21-year career of the winningest latin American pitcher in MLB history.

Earlier this week, Kevin Durant grabbed a few headlines for comments he made in a radio interview about the New York Knicks. In the interview, which aired on Ebro in the Morning Show on Hot 97 FM, the two-time Finals MVP admitted he did consider the Knicks in free agency, but he “didn't really do any deep, full analysis” on them.
Durant then expanded on why he thinks the Knicks have had trouble landing guys like him in free agency, and his language was interesting to say the least.
“They're trying. They're trying,” Durant said. “It's hard to get the best players to play here. It's hard … I think a lot of fans look at the Knicks as a brand and expect these younger players who, in their lifetime, don't remember the Knicks being good. I didn't grow up with the Knicks. I've seen the Knicks in the Finals, but kids coming up after me didn't see that. So that whole brand of the Knicks to them is not as cool as, let's say, the Golden State Wa..
