This past weekend was “Players Weekend” in the MLB, a new annual event in which grown men put nicknames on the back of their jerseys like a bunch of 12-year-olds. This “Players Weekend” was somehow worse than the first, as the MLB replaced last year's jerseys, which were unique to each team, with strictly all black jerseys for the away teams and all white for the home teams.
The jerseys were deservedly roasted across social media, and even players and managers got their shots in. Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona provided the best quote, saying “What’s the slogan, ‘Let the kids play?’ Let the grown-ups look like morons.” He hated them so much that he didn't want to go out and make pitching changes because he didn't want to be seen in public. The sport's two most iconic franchises, the Dodgers and Yankees, who each have one of the best jerseys in all of sports, happened to be playing in L.A., and the Dodgers asked if they could wear their normal threads for on..

2013 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Michael McCoy talks about golf in his native Iowa and how it has shaped his illustrious amateur career.

Stacy Revere“Roxanne” by The Police is a lot of things.
It’s a record that sold over a half-million copies in the U.S., a song that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008, frequent cover by diverse artists ranging Fall Out Boy to Idina Menzel to Maroon 5. It’s even the building block to a great episode of “Community.”
Yet, today, “Roxanne” only truly matters for Milwaukee Brewer Christian Yelich’s astute decision to use the rock anthem as his walkout music on Tuesday.
Yelich is one of many athletes to appear in ESPN’s upcoming The Body Issue, which will be on newsstands September 4th. The yearly edition, which centers on showing the best athletes from around the world nearly-naked, has become a staple of the ESPN calendar, apparently to Roxane J’s chagrin.

Golf Notes: The expensive and volatile side of the Tour Championship; changes in field sizes for opposite-field events

Matthew StockmanRomance is alive and well—at least in Flushing, Queens.
In a loving gesture—equivalent to Noah restoring a house for Allie in “The Notebook,” Shah Jahan conceiving of the Taj Mahal as a dedication to his wife, and the time I constructed a newspaper to ask a girl to prom in high-school (she said yes)—Alexis Ohanian wore a shirt to the US Open.
Now I know what you’re thinking. “Hey, Greg. How does Serena Williams’ husband wearing a shirt reach the generous heights of Noah, Shah Jahan and yourself?”
First off, great question. Secondly, it’s kind of weird that you address me in your innermost thoughts. Finally, let me tell you.
In order to support Williams and make a statement, Ohanian—also the co-founder of Reddit—wore a shirt trolling his wife’s competitor. Maria Sharapova, the once-great Russian tennis player and Williams’ adversary on this fateful day, was suspended back in 2016 for 15 months for taking the banned substance meldonium. Knowing this, Ohanian donned a D.A…

Tiger Woods has 5th surgery on left knee to clean out minor cartilage damage

Move over Ramon Laureano. Take a seat Aaron Judge. The best, and most accurate throw of the MLB season came from Seattle Mariners outfielder Keon Broxton, and it wasn't even with the baseball. We'll explain.
In the bottom of the second at Safeco Field, Broxton was rung up on an extremely questionable strike three call with two outs, ending the inning. Had it been called a ball, Broxton would have earned a walk, so he was understandably upset with home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez, who was off to a rough start. Broxton pulled out all the stops, jumping up and down in disbelief, flipping his bat in frustration, smacking off his helmet and storming off like a child who just threw all his toys. Only there was one more toy to throw—his left batting glove—and he just so happened to whip it perfectly at Gonzalez's face without looking.
