There's not exactly a pantheon of greatest moments in New York Jets history. There's the '68 Super Bowl…um…when the little kid in “Elf” wore a Wayne Chrebet jersey…let's see…Rex Ryan's “Hard Knocks” speech? Yes, that about sums it up.
So if you're wondering why first-round draft pick Sam Darnold received the “Rudy” slow-clap treatment for merely signing his contract after a short holdout, well, the above gets that point across.

Is there a more “Jets” thing than mistiming the slow clap, thus having to do it once more? Or maybe his fellow players just really, really like Darnold. Hell, you would too after watching Josh McCown and Bryce Petty throw pass after pass to your feet for an entire season.

PARAMUS, N.J. — It’s one of Phil Mickelson’s most famous Phil moments, and one that will likely be replayed during coverage of this year’s Northern Trust, which returns to historic Ridgewood Country Club for the first time since 2014. The A.W. Tillinghast design will be routed a bit differently for the first leg of this year’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, specifically in regards to a hole that Mickelson caused a bit of chaos on during the second round in 2014.
The hole, which played as the fifth in 2014, is known as the “five and dime” par 4, earning that moniker thanks to Byron Nelson, who would hit a 5-iron and a pitching wedge (a 10-iron way back when) as the club’s assistant pro in the 1930s. One of the first drivable par 4s before those became commonplace, it plays 291 yards, which sounds like it could be a soft 3-iron for Dustin Johnson. But the “five and dime” plays anything but soft, featuring one of the most narrow greens players will face all season, one that’s guarded by five bunkers..

In the months following Super Bowl LII, the “Philly Special” has become an inedible version of the Philly cheesesteak—an ooey, gooey embodiment of Philadelphia that's so damn good the rest of the world just has to suck it up and admit it. We've seen the tattoos and the the suit linings, but now we finally have the piece de resistance:
The Philly Special Gender Reveal (courtesy of some dude who goes by @donnyfootball93 online, because obviously).

Overall pretty good execution. The snap is a little low and the decoy routes aren't quite as crisp as you'd want—plus no way real-life Doug Pederson is getting away with flip flops on the sideline—but the mission was to find out the gender of this kid and the mission was accomplished. Given some of the gender reveals we've seen lately, that's more than some people can say.

I was going to title this post “Sean Newcomb had the worst day possible,” but then I remembered that we live on a planet where tragedies and poverty and suffering happen, and things could be considerably worse. But in the realm of people who aren't experiencing true misery, Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb had a really tough day. And the whole thing was made worse by the fact that it started out as an awesome day.
Through eight innings, two outs, and two strikes, Newcomb was having the game of his life. He's only in his second year as a pro, but in that time his longest start was seven innings. Now, he was on the verge of a complete game no-hitter, which would put him in baseball's history books. Quite an opportunity! Facing the Dodgers' Chris Taylor with two outs in the ninth, he worked the count to 2-2. And then, on his 134th pitch of the night, this happened:

Phil InglisST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND – JULY 29: Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain in media interview after the final round of the Senior Open presented by Rolex played at The Old Course on July 29, 2018 in St. Andrews, Scotland. (Photo by Phil Inglis/Getty Images)It was raining at St. Andrews on Sunday, but that didn't stop Miguel Angel Jimenez from stashing a pair of shades under his hat just in case. Such is the tao of of the Most Interesting Senior Golfer in the World. Shooting a three-under 69 to hold off Bernhard Langer by a stroke, Jimenez stooped to pick up his clinching putt, removing his hat to reveal a pair of (very) blue aviators perched atop his trademark shock of curls. As Golf Twitter soon pointed out, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME:
