Don't get us wrong, Jordan Spieth has great hands…and no we're not talking about his short game. Seriously, just take a look at their pearly expanses and immaculately manicured cuticles and try to tell us he doesn't have a lucrative post-golf career as the hand-model successor to J.P. Prewitt waiting for him:
FacebookPinterestJim RogashBut when you're grinding on the range, trying to find your game after, let's be honest, a down year, the health of the 'ol digits is a secondary concern. Spieth proved as much on Friday, revealing his mangled mitts at the Pebble Beach Pro Am, showing everyone that the life of a tour pro is not all glitz, glamour, and expensive Swiss moisturizers.

Ladies and gentleman, these are what we in the industry call battle scars. If we didn't know any better, we'd say Spieth accidentally dropped his engagement ring in the garbage disposal and then flicked the wro..

Icon SportswireSports fans are still recovering less than a week after arguably the most boring Super Bowl ever. Tom Brady's scrappy bunch put up a mere 13 points and yet they dominated. YAWN. But what made the big game such a big bore was that it wasn't supposed to play out like that. The 56.5 over/under, which opened at 58.5, was one of the highest in history. And for once, Vegas was way off.

Friday night's Siena-Manahattan matchup is a totally different scenario, not just because it involves another sport altogether in college basketball, but because it is predicted to be an absolute grinder of a game. The over/under is currently at a comically low 110.5, which, according to The Action Network, is the lowest total for a men's college basketball game in four years. Even lower than all the usual low Friday night over/unders in the Ivy League.
The last time a total was this low was Feb. 11, 2015 when Wyomin..

If you follow @PGAMemes you know why it's one of the most discussed Instagram accounts in the golf social media space . . for better or for worse. Always toeing the line and occasionally (and admittedly) crossing it, the page is full of laugh-out-loud posts that blatantly conveys things we’re all thinking but either deem as inappropriate or we’re just afraid to say. The man behind the memes, who chooses to remain anonymous (he explains why below), has grown the account to just shy of 200,000 followers and gains over 1,500 new fans each day. Get to know the guy behind the sometimes controversial but always hilarious Instagram account, PGA Memes.
When did you start PGA Memes and why?
I got started last January. For me I’m not that great of a golfer. I’m not scratch by any means, but I see a lot of humor in golf and try to bring a little life to the sport. Some people will say it’s stuffy, but there’s a lot of fun in the game. When I looked around and saw what the Instagram community..

Icon Sports WireIf you've been paying attention, you've seen the proposed rules changes the MLB and the Player's Association revealed earlier this week. For once, they didn't look that terrible, which is no small feat considering some of their recent history. Of course, they are still pushing for the rule that would allow teams to put a runner at second base in extra innings, which, and I cannot stress this enough, is the most embarrassing idea I've ever heard. It's quite fitting for my generation though. Nothing says millennial like being placed at second base without hitting a double.
Other than that flaming hot garbage idea, which they use in the minors, the other proposals are…dare I say…good. Universal DH? Suck it up you NL try-hard fans, it's going to happen, as it should. Added roster spot? Good. Twenty-second pitch clock? VERY good. Reducing mound visits? Good. Three-batter minimum? I'm a pretty big hater of this bull-penning craze, b..

A walk in the short grass: Mickelson hits every fairway and is 1 shot behind at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Mitchell LaytonThe Baltimore Orioles fanbase has been through a lot in the last six years. After the O's missed out on their brief window, which included their first playoff appearance in 14 seasons in 2012, their first ALCS appearance in 16 seasons in 2014 and an appearance in the Wild Card Game in 2016, the franchise has fallen on hard times. They've missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons, finishing last in their division both times and posting a franchise-worst record of 47-115 in 2018. Oh, and did we mention their franchise player is (at some point) going to sign a long-term deal elsewhere, and possibly with a division rival? Did we also mention they pay Chris Davis $23 million a year to strike out 200-plus times and bat .168? Yeah, so things are going well.

Valentine's Day displays, Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow—these are all dependable benchmarks in recognizing another winter is at least entering the back nine. But for golfers, especially those of us holed up in northern climes, there are also subtle indicators that real golf is no longer just a distant fantasy. Among them:

You shovel snow with exceeding caution knowing your back can't give out on you now.

Jim Nantz has one of the most enviable jobs in the world, but even the biggest sports fans had to feel bad for the CBS announcer during Super Bowl LIII. After all, Nantz had to stay focused on that 13-to-3 snoozefest while the rest of us turned to critiquing commercials and stuffing our faces to pass the time before the inevitable Patriots win.

Of course, Nantz and booth partner Tony Romo did their best to make the game sound exciting, but just a few days later, the tireless broadcaster found plenty to get fired up about while doing play-by-play at Pebble Beach for a charity par 3 contest. The event wasn't on national TV and the crowd was small, but by the sound of Nantz's voice, you would have thought he was calling a Sunday back-nine duel at the Masters between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Listen to how into it Jim gets after Train lead singer Pat Monahan sticks one close on Pebble's 17th hol..

We live in an internet age when everything has to be so finite. If it's not labeled the BEST or WORST ever, did it really even happen? Everyone and everything is the GOAT. We're all guilty of it, and we have guys like Skip Bayless to thank for that. Skip created the hot take, and he basically kickstarted the endless LeBron vs. Jordan debate that made the word GOAT so commonplace. So we can blame him for all the extreme sports opinions we see on social media on a daily basis.

Speaking of Skip and having to label everything as the greatest ever, were going to combine those two things right now. I realize I just chastised this line of thinking, which I am a huge offender of, but when Skip checks in with a take like he did on Thursday morning, I can't help but crown it his finest ever. He should retire now, because it may never be topped.
