Report: Reed blames Spieth for them not playing together at Ryder Cup, and Furyk for benching him

Sure the Europeans played better at Le Golf National. But their win over the Americans in the Ryder Cup comes down to some innate cultural reasons as well

The Ryder Cup is over. But let the history books show Sergio Garcia scored one final point at Le Golf National.

As if 162 games of baseball weren’t enough, for four MLB franchises, the sadistic baseball gods will tack on one more. On Monday, the Dodgers, Rockies, Cubs, and Brewers will all play divisional tiebreakers with the shape of their postseasons on the line. So whether you’re a glass half-full kind of guy—the playoffs have started early!—or glass half-empty—the regular season still isn’t over?—here’s everything you need to know about this elusive afternoon of bonus baseball.

While this happens, you have two choices: Stop watching sports on TV and immerse yourself in the outdoors or learning a new skill, OR pick some other random team and watch anyway!
