Welcome to Kingsport, Tennessee, where the sun is shinin', the grills are firin', and the parents are brawlin' at 12-and-under softball games while their children's screams drift across the outfield like a warm breeze. Needless to say, summer is finally here.
According to the Kingsport Times-News, the season arrived in full force on Saturday when about a dozen parents from two North Carolina softball teams got to whoopin' and hollerin' and even carryin' on, eventually coming to blows behind home plate. No injuries we're reported and no one was arrested, but both teams were disqualified from the tournament because, as we all know, kids should definitely be held accountable for their parents' behavior.

Sonia Canada(Photo by Sonia Canada/Getty Images)The NBA Draft is on Thursday, that magical night when we make sweeping career pronouncements on players we barely watched in college. While the draft's unpredictability makes it an entertaining watch, there are a few certainties: fashion faux pas, John Calipari taking credit for guys who were in his program for all of 16 weeks, and the Sacramento Kings messing up their draft pick.
In theory, the Kings shouldn't screw the pooch this week. Luka Doncic is widely considered the best player in the draft, but because the state of Arizona needs restitution for the money he was paid for the Wildcats of personnel makeup, the Phoenix Suns will likely select Deandre Ayton with the No. 1 pick. Meaning Doncic should go to the Kings.
Which would be a steal. Doncic just lead his Real Madrid team to the Spanish League title on Tuesday night, and won MVP honors as a 19-year-old at the EuroLeague Finals last month. He's a 6'8″ point gua..

New data on average golfers, including more than 10 million drives gathered by Arccos, the GPS-based stat-tracking app, paints a slightly stagnant picture about driving distance for the paying public.

What will Phil do next? It’s a question long been asked by golf fans due to Phil Mickelson’s unpredictable nature, and one given more emphasis after Lefty did something no one saw coming at last week’s U.S. Open. But the answer, at least, this time, has nothing to do with anything on the golf course.
Long a legend of the game, Mickelson’s next goal is to become a titan of the frozen yogurt industry. And he’s reportedly already racked up nearly as many froyo joints as he has PGA Tour titles in his illustrious career.
THE GRIND: Phil Mickelson's WTF moment & DJ/Paulina quickly move on
Mickelson and longtime agent Steve Loy are going in together on 30 locations serving the popular dessert, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell. And these spots in Phil's native San Diego area won’t do just any kind of serving as they’ll be equipped with robots dishing out this delicious treat. Yep, robotic frozen yogurt stores. What, you thought Phil would open just any old frozen yogurt joint? Pleas..

There are the obvious keys to a great golf trip, and then there are the elements you might not consider, some of which aren’t even that costly

Hailed as a hero to some and as golf royalty to others, Peter Thomson, a five-time winner of the British Open and the only player in the 20th century to win the tournament for three straight years, died Wednesday. He was 88.

Thomson had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for more than four years and died at his Melbourne home surrounded by family members, Golf Australia said.

The first Australian to win the British Open, Thomson went on to secure the title five times between 1954 and 1965, a record equaled only by American Tom Watson.
