Yes, you read that right: A total of 48 golfers were left stranded on the course Friday evening after officials called it due to lack of sunlight. (That, in turn, was caused by significant rain delays early in Thursday’s Round 1). Among those are several golfers flirting with the cut line around even par, including Bryson DeChambeau and Jordan Spieth. Meanwhile, the top of the leaderboard at Augusta National is full of low scores, padded by the soft conditions during Thursday’s Round 1 following morning showers....

First, there are around 90 players in the field, but you can basically ignore all of the amateurs and old timers. Only about 50 players have a legitimate chance to win. My job will be to narrow down that 50 to around 15-18 players that have the best combination of DFS price, ownership projection, course history, and current form. It’s extremely difficult to narrow down these players to a select few, especially in the top tier because almost anyone $9,000 and above could win....

Those are the two networks that will carry the 2020 Masters Tournament, which this year runs from Nov. 12-15. ESPN will host the weekday coverage, and following “College GameDay” on Saturday, CBS will take over the coverage from there. It’s the usual arrangement, just about seven months later than usual thanks to COVID-19 rescheduling. Augusta National Golf Club will be without fans for the tournament, so it’ll be more crucial than ever to know where to tune your TV (and then leave it for hours on end)....

The Good Will Hunting actor told British newspaper The Sunday Times that he was reprimanded by his daughter for using the “f-slur” in a joke he told months ago. “The word that my daughter calls the ‘f-slur for a homosexual’ was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application,” Damon said. “I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table....

Gaetz, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, is the subject of an FBI investigation of allegations that he maintained a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid her to travel with him. The allegations have not been proven and Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, while pointing out that the accusation was part of a related alleged plot to extort his family. Bryan Jones, a veteran Air Force pilot who plans to challenge Gaetz in the 2022 Republican primary, told conservative newspaper The Washington Times that he would “restore dignity” to Florida’s 1st Congressional District by defeating Gaetz....

The transcripts confirm previous reports—first revealed by The Washington Post in September—that former White House aide Johnny McEntee said under oath that Gaetz sought a pardon from Trump before he left the White House over a federal investigation involving the GOP congressman. The transcripts show that McEntee told the committee how Gaetz had asked him about seeking a pardon from Trump via then White House chief of staff Mark Meadows....

In March 2021, Gaetz was named as the focus of an FBI sex trafficking investigation involving his alleged transporting of a 17-year-old girl across state lines to have sex with her. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing and hasn’t been charged with a crime. Gaetz made his comment about the investigations while speaking on a recent installment of War Room, the show hosted by Steve Bannon, the former White House Chief Strategist under former President Donald Trump....

Speaking to Newsmax’s Grant Stinchfield on Wednesday, Gaetz said he thinks the 18-year-old is not guilty of the charges and that the defendant was acting in self defense when he shot and killed two people and injured a third during a Black Lives Matter protest last August. The jury is currently deliberating on whether to convict the defendant in the highly divisive trial. “He is not guilty, he deserves a not guilty verdict,” Gaetz said....

And it’s all because Harvey, who pitched into the seventh inning Saturday to help the Mets clinch their first NL East title since 2006, last week asked—maybe even demanded—that he be allowed to pitch deeper into games, the New York Daily News reported. Manager Terry Collins said it goes back to Harvey (13-7, 2.80 ERA) being pulled from a start against the Yankees after giving up only one hit over five innings of what the bullpen turned into a Mets loss....

The watch with his car number was unveiled Tuesday, and Kenseth was in top pitchman form, talking about hating to be late and the need for a timepiece. He doesn’t have to worry about the time while racing. He just needs to get the job done.

Kenseth, 46, spent his first 13 full-time Monster Energy Series seasons driving for Roush — winning a pair of Daytona 500 trophies and the season title — before moving to Joe Gibbs Racing, where he competed from 2013-17. While the Roush team said it hadn’t formalized Kenseth’s complete 2018 schedule yet, it did confirm that his first race back in the car would be May 12 at Kansas Speedway, where Kenseth has a pair of victories....

When asked why the Packers didn’t run the ball, LaFleur said: “That’s a great question,” while admitting, “Unfortunately it didn’t work out for us.” The series started when Rodgers threw a goal-line fade to Jimmy Graham with 9:19 remaining in the fourth. He then tried to connect with Danny Vitale, but that didn’t work either. Third down brought a run-pass option, resulting in Rodgers throwing out of bounds. And then on fourth-and-1, Rodgers threw to Graham again but the tight end wasn’t open....

The Mavericks have long been contenders in the Western Conference. Since Dirk Nowitzki made the transition from a gangly rookie to a star, they’ve been postseason staples on the cusp of winning NBA titles. It all came full circle in 2011 with a magical run that catapulted Nowitzki into legend. But while their plan worked throughout his prime, the Mavericks’ fortune has taken a turn for the worse in the twilight of Nowitzki’s career....

He believes in the Mets’ money, no doubt about that.

Speaking on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton on Sunday, the senior Democrat lashed out at Republican Greene, calling her “dangerous.” Rep. Waters told Rev. Sharpton: “Let me just say this, when you talk about congresswoman Greene, you’re talking about the kind of extremist radical that is now in the House of Representatives who is basically, you know, dangerous.” The long-serving Democrat then claimed Rep. Greene had intimidated other lawmakers and referred to an infamous incident in 2021 when she confronted Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)....
