    PGA Tour 2016-2017

    I'm glad to see Dustin Johnson back in the win column and the great play from Jordan Spieth, including a couple recent wins.

    Mayweather vs McGregor could be around the corner!

    I thought McGregor fought very well, considering his total lack of experience in boxing. I'm surprised that the referee didn't give McGregor a standing 8 count, rather than calling an end to the bout suddenly in the 10th round. Anyway, it's over with and we can look foward to the Golovkin...

    2017 MLB Season

    Hoskins is off to a great start. I hope he can become a consistent power hitter for the Phillies in the coming years and convince them to quit using so many players from Latin America.

    2017 New England Patriots

    Edelman's injury is a real shame. I was looking forward to another 1,000 yard season from him. Hopefully he can recover fully and have a big year in 2018.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    No, it's seven officially. The ones in 2012 and 2013 you list, as well as the 9.98 earlier this year in beating Gatlin don't count because of the wind. You can read through this list for confirmation: http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_100ok.htm

    Christian McCaffrey

    I doubt we'll see 1000 yards from Burkhead, probably more like 700-800 rushing, but I do expect McCaffrey to get past 1000, something in the 1100-1200 range, barring injury.

    Tiger Woods

    I remember a discussion here several years ago when so many in the media were declaring the PGA pretty much dead without Tiger. Well, the tour seems to be doing just fine without him.

    Jeff Heath - defensive back

    I always thought Heath had the physical skills to play CB in the NFL, but I'll settle for a starting safety spot.

    2017 MLB Season

    I can see Trout winning the MVP but it's going to be tough with only his 83rd game played tonight. He'll need to play in every remaining game and continue to tear the cover off the ball. 26 HRs, 60 RBIs, .330 BA, an unreal 1.127 OPS, 5.6 WAR via Fangraphs as of yesterday.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    I found the list I was looking for. He's done it seven times, all in 2010 and 2011. The one earlier this year was wind aided, I think. http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_100ok.htm

    2017 MLB Season

    My Pirates have had a disappointing season, with Jung Ho Kang's DUIs, Starling Marte's PED suspension, and Gregory Polanco's endless minor "injuries" being the main culprits.

    Dusty Baker: Worst Manager of All Time?

    Baker has underachieved with many talented teams and is well known for mismanaging pitching staffs and ruining promising arms. But he gets a pass for a lot of it because he's black, just like Ron "Cocaine" Washington.

    Landry Jones

    Jones has an injury that's limiting him in the preseason so scholar-afflete Dobbs is getting a lot of backup work and looking, not surprisingly, overmatched. So of course the best way to improve the reserve QB problem would be to move Jones to #3 and sign Kaepernick...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    I'm having a discussion elsewhere about Lemaitre and I'm trying to confirm how many times he's run a sub 10 100m. I'm sure of at least two, but I think it might be three. Thanks!

    T.J. Watt

    Watt's looking really good so far. He'll have to play like a star to get any respect.
