UMA Health is offering Mets fans free therapy sessions

Jim McIsaacFive days after the worst loss in franchise history, 10 days after Yoenis Cespedes announced season-ending heel surgery, and an ice age or two removed from that 12-2 start, there may finally be glimmer of light on the horizon for Mets fans: Free therapy. Lots and lots of free therapy.
Part of a new campaign to help de-stigmatize mental health, online marketplace UMA Health has opened their doors to one of America's most hopelessly messed up fanbases. To set up your free, confidential session, simply send UMA Health your email address and most painful Mets memory—listen, this stuff isn't going away until you face it—and they'll email you a promo code that you can use to book an appointment with a therapist where you can cover a variety of Mets-related topics like…

One of our editors got a GQ style makeover (because frankly he needed it)

The idea seemed pretty simple: How do we get one of our editors, who spends a fair amount of time on video talking about golf, to not look like he showed up on camera straight from hitting a small bucket?

To put it in golf terms, it's like we were looking for 20 more yards without forcing him to change his clubs or his grip. Did we succeed? Well, here's how Alex started the day:

PGA Tour Canada pro shoots closing 63 to win on golf course his father designed

Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesTyler McCumber came into this week’s Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada event, the Syncrude Oil Country Championship, with momentum, having won the tour’s previous stop for his first win in Canada. He also arrived as a curiosity. The 27-year-old former All-American at Florida had an unusual connection to Edmonton Petroleum Golf & Country Club, which was hosting the tournament for the third year. McCumber’s father, former PGA Tour pro Mark McCumber, designed the course 25 years ago.
Tyler, who had never played one of his dad’s courses in a professional tournament, was asked ahead of the event what it would be like to win, given the circumstances.
“The courses that I have played in the past that my dad and his team have worked on, I seem to favor and really like from a playing standpoint,” he said. “Maybe it’s just because of the way I was raised and what to look for in golf courses. When I look at courses, I look at them through that filter, whether he designe..
