Just me, or does it feel like a bit too much too soon that 16-year-old Charlie Woods is the TOP story on @espn.com headlines for missing the cut to make the US Open. I mean, I know he played, so the score is public record, but top story? There’s nothing else to talk about? He’s a kid. #smh

When my mom got to about 80, she showed real signs of the Alzheimer’s Disease that would take her life. She started doing nutty things with her money — liquidating all her investments, then putting them into one savings account. Like that. Don’t know why I think of that today … but there you are.

Comment: More than any political gesture, this move shows the cultural power of the USA … and $ in the sports biz. #whogetspaid
Unquestionably a home crowd for the Eagles. #introductions #SuperBowlLIX
Reading about proposed foreign aid cuts and remembering a trip to Cuba in 2015 to cover baseball. We were shuttled all around on Chinese buses. And a thought occurred: If you leave the international field, the countries you leave aren’t high and dry. They just get somebody else’s buses.
"The NCAA added women's wrestling as its 91st championship sport." Time for #PennState to build another dynasty -- but first the Nittany Lions need a women's team.

Jeanty in the first quarter — eight carries, 20 yards.
Did the kid on Boise State running with the American flag just trip and fall down?
Football logic.
Oklahoma > Bama
Navy > Oklahoma
Navy > Bama
Can’t believe Navy was excluded from the CFP!!!! 😢
Headed into the fourth quarter of the chippiest, nastiest, closest to an all-out-brawl of bowl season game yet. Of course I mean the GameAbove Sports Bowl.
All of Notre Dame’s last three TDs have been longer than 97 yards.
Notre Dame women’s hoops … best team in the country, when they play in the country.
