Greg Norman, whose swashbuckling game was made for the Masters, had a six-shot lead. No one had ever surrendered a lead so big in the history of majors. As the legendary British golf writer Peter Dobereiner, courage reinforced by a gin and tonic or two, told the Shark as they stood next to each other at the urinal that Saturday night, “not even you can f— this up, Greg."...
The Raiders released Flynn on Monday afternoon, Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter was first to report. The move comes just two weeks after he filled in for concussed Terrelle Pryor in a Week 4 home loss to Washington.

Gaetz shared an article that reported about a segment on Russian state TV in which he was praised for refusing to applaud for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Congress last week as the Florida Republican maintains his stance on not providing Ukraine with further U.S. assistance. “I’m not pro Russia. I’ve even been personally sanctioned by Putin. I’m pro America. Bathing historically corrupt countries in US weapons and cash typically doesn’t go well for America....
Gaetz, who has touted the far-fetched prospect of the former president becoming the next leader of the House since last summer, told Sebastian Gorka’s America’s First show that he has once more discussed the possibility with Trump. “I just think America deserves that moment when Nancy Pelosi hands Donald Trump the gavel,” the Florida Republican said. “I told him you don’t even have to be speaker for the whole day,” Gaetz said....
Kenseth led twice for 38 laps in his second of the season. After the race, his car failed the post-race laser inspection station measurements.

Kenseth and the team were docked 15 driver and 15 owner points in the championship race.

The NFL’s salary cap rules make trading the highly paid Ryan and Jones nearly impossible for the Falcons. Any trade away of either play would require a number of follow-up moves to account for accelerated cap hits for Atlanta and large future cap hits for the acquiring team. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 4 p.m. ET, and while you’d never say never on a struggling team trading away its big names, the money in this situation likely makes it a bit too hard....
It’s been quite the season for the Indianapolis Colts, and that’s an understatement. Their 3-5-1 record isn’t quite indicative of the organizational tumult that’s surrounded them this year: Matt Ryan was a disaster, then benched. Marcus Brady was fired, soon followed by head coach Frank Reich, leading to Jeff Saturday’s hiring. Well, Saturday made his first major decision on Sunday: Bringing Matt Ryan back from the bench to start him vs....
Some critics, including MSNBC hosts Mehdi Hasan and Chris Hayes, pointed out that Taibbi’s “Twitter Files” are “PR work for the world’s richest man,” which was in reference to Twitter CEO Elon Musk. “Looking forward to going through all the tweets complaining about ‘PR for the richest man on earth,’ and seeing how many of them have run stories for anonymous sources at the FBI, CIA, the Pentagon, White House, etc,” Taibbi tweeted Saturday....
"We have to cross those hurdles so that once we turn him loose he’s ready to go,” Nats manager Matt Williams told the newspaper. Harper was hitting .289/.352/.422 with a home run and nine RBIs in 22 games before he went on the disabled list. "He’ll be able to grip and do some small things but he’s not going to be on the field taking BP first day,” Williams said....
McConaughey is already known for one word he said three times: “Alright, alright, alright!” He said those words in Dazed and Confused, the 1993 comedy filmed in Austin about students who waste away the last day of school. McConaughey himself was a film student at the nearby University of Texas who shot to superstardom after that movie. In hosting its first NASCAR Cup Series race, Austin reached out to the actor, who delivered the address as grand marshal in only a way that McConaughey can do....
Matthew Stafford and wife-to-be Kelly Hall received custom Jordan 11s from Lions tight end Eric Ebron. The couple is expected to marry on April 4, but given the overall awesomeness of the gift, it’s easy to see why he gave it to them early. As expected, Hall was overjoyed with the gift. The shoes feature a bride and groom as the Jordan logos, holding a bouquet and ring. Genius....

Glenn Jacobs, current mayor of Knox County, Tenn., had a lengthy career inside a WWF/E ring, known as Kane. The near-7-foot, hulking former pro wrestler spent the majority of his career under a mask (and sometimes a wig), making a career as one of the dominant and memorable monsters in the company’s history. Well, as with most wrestlers, it seems Jacobs has had difficulty leaving wrestling in the past as he continues his maiden voyage into his political career....
Parker Mayor Jeff Toborg posted an image of an American flag on Parler on December 20, before the app was taken down in the wake of the deadly attack on the Capitol which QAnon followers were a part of, along with the caption “WWG1WGA.” This is an abbreviation of the QAnon slogan “where we go one we go all,” which is frequently used by supporters of the radical theory who believe in a secret pedophile ring of high-profile Satanists and eagerly awaited for mass executions to take place at the inauguration of Joe Biden....
Pacquiao’s last seven wins have come by decision, Miguel Cotto being the last opponent he stopped, via a 12th-round TKO on Nov. 11, 2009. With a record of 57-5-2 with 38 KOs, his career knockout percentage is 59.38. Mayweather-by-decision has been a pretty safe prediction for Money’s fights. Five straight opponents have gone the distance against the still-undefeated Mayweather, whose last knockout game against Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, 2011....
The striker was the subject of a bid from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, but the Spanish giants could not convince PSG to sell. Rumors continue to fly that Madrid will eventually prevail, but it will not happen this winter. Madrid is expected to make another attempt to land the 23-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the season. The Merengues will likely have to wait until the summer and sign the Frenchman on a free transfer....

In search of a tasty Cuban snack to wash down today’s heaping helping of anti-Castro bravado, I followed John McCain this afternoon to Versailles restaurant in Little Havana. The Arizona senator has swung by twice this year, so I figured it must be pretty good (also, I consulted the ever-illuminating Chowhound message boards, which confirmed that the place is one of the most famous–and reliable–Cuban joints in town; when it comes to ethnic food, trust the wisdom of crowds over the wisdom of lawmakers)....
