Nathaniel S. ButlerJudging by many of Kyrie Irving's actions during his very short time in Boston, one could surmise that the point guard is a bit thin-skinned. This conspiracy theory floating around on Twitter won't help change that narrative.
This past Wednesday on the “Zolak & Bertrand Show,” a Boston sports radio program, a caller named “Mikey in Waltham” phoned in to defend Kyrie Irving.”So, I was just calling in saying that, with such a rare talent like Kyrie, it's a shame that the fans didn't welcome him in more,” Mikey said. “Talents like that are so rare they come by fast, and I think it serves us right that now he's gone and look at what were left with.”

But Jordan Smith took things to another level on Friday.

Tony Romo's venture into competitive golf is at a crossroads.

While much of the golf world has its eyes on the professional debuts of Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff up at TPC River Highlands this week, over in Germany the BMW International Open is already in full swing. A recently resurgent Martin Kaymer is hovering around the top of his homeland's most prized leaderboard, but on Friday it was Asian Tour pro Gaganjeet Bhullar who stole the headlines and highlight reels with one of the most lucrative aces in recent memory, trickling one in on the par-3 17th to win a shiny new Beemer.

The usual hole-in-one accoutrement of high fives and handshakes was, of course, in order, but all of that pales in comparison to the car—the brand new 2019 BMW M8 Coupe.
