Patrick Reed once again involved in rules controversy

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Patrick Reed has been involved in yet another rules controversy. The player nicknamed Captain America because of his Ryder Cup heroics, but who is increasingly being depicted as an arch villain, was at the centre of a messy affair at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. It was on the par-four 10th during Saturday’s third round, when Reed hit a 190-yard shot out of a bunker with a TV replay showing the ball bounced once before settling into the rough. However, Reed claimed later not to have seen it bounce - and relied on a ball-spotter who told him she had not seen it bounce - and then proceeded to pick up the ball to check if it was embedded. It was only at that stage that he summoned a rules official, placing the ball to one side. Reed told the referee the ball had embedded and after the official felt for the pitch mark, was awarded a free drop. Reed went on to save par, but the row was only just beginning. Social media went into uproar, and although Ree...

Joe Rogan: Is Conor McGregor still a UFC title contender?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Following Conor McGregor's UFC 257 headlining loss to Dustin Poirier, everyone has been speculating about what is next for the Irish megastar. Does McGregor return for an immediate rematch with Poirier? They are now 1 to 1 after two fights, although Poirier finished McGregor in spectacular fashion at UFC 257. Is McGregor still in the mix with fighters like Poirier, Charles Oliveira, Michael Chandler, and Justin Gaethje for a shot at the UFC lightweight title? Or maybe McGregor explores a trilogy bout with Nate Diaz, while the UFC lightweight championship dust settles with the expectation that Khabib Nurmagomedov will remain retired? Joe Rogan and UFC veteran Brendan Schaub weighed in on what's next for Conor McGregor following his loss to Dustin Poirier.

With former No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston ending his fifth season with the NFL's first-ever 30-30 season (33 touchdown passes, and NFL-high 30 interceptions) and the 7-9 Bucs missing the playoffs for the 12th straight season, it was time for a major move.
