Dodgers reporter refuses to wipe beer from his eyes during interview, is an absolute warrior

Aspiring sports reporters, get out your handy dandy notepads and get ready to jot some notes down. The Dodgers reporter is about to teach you a thing or two about #journalism.
His name is David Vassegh, and he's the host of “Dodger Talk” on AM 570 in Los Angeles. Tuesday night was one of those nights when Vassegh had to bring his best fastball, as the Dodgers clinched the NL West for a remarkable seventh consecutive year, by far the longest streak of any team in the division's history. Vassegh was in the clubhouse for the celebration, one complete with a hefty dose of Budweiser. Considering he's probably done this the last six years, Vassegh had to know there was strong chance he'd get soaked, but he went on to the field of battle without goggles anyway. As he interviewed shortstop Corey Seager, third baseman Justin Turner flung almost an entire bottle of Bud heavy directly in Vassegh's eyes.

(Photo by Stuart Franklin/Getty Images)GLENEAGLES, Scotland—The Americans are the betting favorite at the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland, and European captain Laura Davies thinks it's an excellent opportunity to make some money.
“As for the price, I think we're two to one outsiders, which I think is a good bet because I think our squad, as Beany said, is really strong,” Davies said. “The American team is incredibly good. But I think home soil, possibly a bit chillier, that evens it out a bit and hopefully our girls will step on—because it will come down to Sunday afternoon; it always does.
