"Trying to exercise some internal discipline that way yet also trying to do everything we can to make sure we put a team out there that has a chance to make a run at this thing."

Good morning there, friend. It's Wednesday and, before we get into sports talk this morning, I Martin Fehervary Men Jersey need to ask a very important question: Is "The Bachelor"/"The Bachelorette" never NOT on TV? Judging from my Twitter timeline, that show is on at least 16 hours a week, 12 months a year. At this rate, I feel like it's the most consistent sport on TV. (And congrats to Dale, whoever he is, for winning the big game.)Anyway, I've been pa sing the time by binging "You" and playing video games for, like, 12 hours a day, so you could say I'm really cornering the market on psychotic behavior. We all go a little crazy without sports, though... right? (Also, if anyone wants to buy me a Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X, I won't refuse.)But the good news is that we're oh-so-close to having a busy schedule full of and football, and I'm here to help hold you over until things get cookin'. What you need to know 1. Jon Rahm sinks incredible hole-in-one at Augusta The Masters doesn't officially get underway until tomorrow, so why are we leading today's newsletter with a highlight from a PRACTICE ROUND yesterday? Well, simply because there's a highlight that is absolutely worth the hype. For the second day in a row, Jon Rahm managed to notch an ace at Augusta... and . From pond to pin! Rahm skips to a hole-in-one on No. 16 at The Masters (@TheMasters) As has long been tradition in the pre-Masters practice rounds, golfers spent the day skipping their balls acro s the water on the par-3 16th. Rahm managed to triple-skip his ball acro s the water, curl it around the edge of the green and sink the hole-in-one. It was pure sorcery and, honestly, one of the most absurd golf shots I've ever seen in my life. You should definitely start your day by watching that if you haven't seen it already. And if you need more reason to get jacked up for the start of meaningful play tomorrow, then you may be interested in perusing Kyle Porter's . Here's his top 10 heading into Day 1 along with Nic Dowd Men Jersey each golfer's best career Masters finish in parentheses:Bryson DeChambeau (T21 in 2016)Jon Rahm (4th in 2018)Dustin Johnson (T2 in 2019) (T12 in 2019)Collin Morikawa (First Masters appearance)Rory McIlroy (4th in 2015)Xander Schauffele (T2 in 2019)Matthew Wolff (First Masters appearance)Tony Finau (T5 in 2019)Brooks Koepka (T2 in 2019)Our golf crew also delivered yesterday, so it's officially on now. Last but not least... Tiger Woods had the honor of and, as the reigning champ, he got to pick the menu. He went with sushi and steak/chicken fajitas, then flan and churros for de sert. That's a strong dinner, if you ask me. If I had my pick? I'm probably going fish tacos, fried chicken sandwich and apple pie with vanilla ice cream. 2. Wichita State parting ways with Gregg Marshall after investigation Following a lengthy investigation, it looks like Wichita Philipp Grubauer Men Jersey State will be in the coming days. This news comes after it was publicly alleged last month that Marshall has had instances of physical abuse with his players and staff. Marshall has been accused of shoving and punching former player Shaq Morris, as well as choking a former Wichita State a sistant during the 2016-2017He is also accused of making racially insensitive remarks and threatening another student-athleteMarshall has denied many of the allegations him, saying "I simply state unequivocally that I have never physically struck a player or colleague"Seven Wichita State players (six of whom were on scholarship) transferred out of the program earlier this spring. The team also lost a commitment from a Cla s of 2020 prospectMarshall spent the past 13 seasons at Wichita State and is the winningest coach in school history (331-121). He helped guide the program to national relevance and led the Shockers to the 2013 Final Four, but now his legacy will undoubtedly be stained thanks to these allegations of misconduct.As for the program, they're without a head basketball coach just a few weeks ahead of a new season. That's certainly not ideal. 3. NFL Week 10 picks It's only Wednesday, which means that we've still gotta wait another day until Week 10 officially gets underway, which... boooooo. These few days in between Monday and Thursday without football are getting pretty lame. That being said, we do have a pretty good Thursday Night Football matchup to look forward to ( vs. ) and it's . As such, it's time to bring in John Breech to help us out with some selections:Colts vs. Titans: Breech is thrown off by Tenne see's inconsistency and, even though the Titans are 2-point favorites, he thinks the Colts can pull off the upset. The pick: Colts win 23-20 vs. : This is one of the more intriguing matchups of the week and Breech thinks it'll come down to two things: How well plays and how well Buffalo's defense plays. After the Bills' strong showing against , he thinks they can contain . The pick: Bills win 34-27 vs. : Seattle has had trouble keeping it together around Ru sell Wilson of late and the Rams have gone 4-1 Dale Hunter Men Jersey in their last five matchups against the Seahawks. Add in the fact that the Rams are coming off a bye week and Breech is going with L.A. The pick: Rams win 34-31You can find the rest of Breech's picks right . And, for what it's worth, he might be the only guy at CBS Sports who is weirder than me and he also has his own NFL newsletter, so if you're interested in waking up with a special collection of insane football ramblings every morning, feel free to . 4. Marcus Stroman rules out playing for Tony La Ru sa There was plenty of confusion as to why the White Sox decided to hire Tony La Ru sa earlier this offseason, and even Brett Connolly Women Jersey more confusion when we learned this week that La Ru sa was charged with his second DUI just prior to accepting the job. The hiring has sparked plenty of criticism from analysts and pundits, but now we're starting to see some potential blowback from players as well.On Tuesday, free agent pitcher Marcus Stroman thanks to La Ru sa being at the helm. After a Twitter user asked how much money it would take for Stroman to play for "an old and seemingly racist alcoholic" (referring to La Ru sa), Stroman replied: "No amount of money honestly. Peace of mind is always priority"Stroman also said that the White Sox's hiring of La Ru sa is indefensibleOf course, Stroman is just one player and he's been known to be outspoken throughout the course of his career, but it makes you wonder how many players might be put off by La Ru sa's hiring. And how many players already in that clubhouse aren't thrilled about playing for La Ru sa?On one hand, he's a Hall of Famer and the last time he was in a dugout he won a World Series.

As the last sport to begin its regular season amid the pandemic, it's almost impo sible not to think about the NFL's start through the prism of the other major pro sports leagues in Igor Larionov Women Jersey this country. I find myself doing it literally all the time.We have come to expect the unpredictable and brace for pretty much anything and accept the fact that these teams and league are going to have to be malleable in ways that never would have been fathomed back in the heady days of say -- February -- when all of the football world converged in Indianapolis for the scouting combine. So much has changed since then.It's a new world with new norms, indeed. Precisely what that means for the next month remains to be seen, but one could make the case that certain truisms stand to apply to this sport as well. Baseball is the rival sport to focus on the most, given that it too is operating without a true bubble, and unlike the and , it was not completing a season when the virus struck, but rather preparing to start one. And, unlike what has transpired in Orlando and Canada, the MLB has dealt with daily Covid-related drama and controversy, with the Cleveland Indians' forays into Chicago nightlife the latest scandal that has caused chaos for that team's pitching rotation and potentially jeopardized their upcoming schedule as well.It would be nave not to think some of these same i sues await the NFL this fall, once games and travel begin in earnest, and with the country still lacking any coordinated response to the outbreak whatsoever. Short of quarantining everyone a sociated with the sport an exercise that has never seemed reasonable given the pure number of people it requires to get through an NFL workweek there are going to be risks at play in navigating through a season. There is a very real chance the season gets paused, or altered on the fly, as we have seen repeatedly in MLB from Ben Hutton Women Jersey everything to the schedule to the playoff format to how double-headers are played to extra-innings adjustments. And, it has never been more imperative for teams to get off to a quick start; if the NFL were to have to collapse to 10 or 12 games, after playing, say, a month or six weeks, then it would be just as paramount not to have to make up for lost time.Of course, with the NFL's offseason and preseason already completely refashioned by the pandemic, and forcing teams to adapt in ways never before considered, there were already inherent competitive advantages for certain organizations based on their institutional strength, experience, continuity of coaching staff and key positions (quarterback, middle linebacker) and depth and quality of roster.Add in what could be a very favorable early-season schedule, and you have the makings of a few teams running away from the pack particularly if that team was facing an out-of-conference division that appears to be strong, as those AFC/NFC cro s-conference games are Reid Boucher Jersey considered the most likely to be sacrificed by GMs if the schedule does require truncating. One thing that seems apparent at this point is the NFL starting as planned in Week 1 and playing through as many games as po sible until or unle s the health situation requires a rethink. This could certainly favor certain teams. Here are a few that stood out:Upstart team is building a monster offense -- had the benefit of a tremendous base of experiences as a rookie and he and Kliff Kingsbury are already sympatico. If out of conference games are scrapped by October, it would ensure the Cardinals would make just one East Coast trip after Week 4 and spare them a trip to Foxboro in November. Not that the AFC East is stout, but they would get additional days of practice not having to go to the and Pats, a ton more rest and with the and currently scheduled on back to back weeks in November, coming off their bye, perhaps they would get an extended layoff/rest period right in the middle of the season. Trying to think outside the box here, and MLB has already had to deal with teams getting extended breaks just weeks into its season.Right now their first six weeks look fairly treacherous, with the (Week 2) and (Week 4) on the road and the looming at home in Week 6. But imagine if those NFC games were expunged by Week 2? In that scenario, the Pats might not have to make a West Coast trip until December, when they are currently set to face the and back-to-back. For now, it's an extended California stay, but who knows, maybe it is just a single game Tim Schaller Men Jersey by then. Regardle s, anything that would ease their early-season grind (when would be adjusting to his new offense) could end up paying huge dividends down the road. Kinda seems every year that New England's schedule is easier than you would think it would be a team that is in the Super Bowl almost every year, so why should zany 2020 be any different?Okay, this isn't exactly rocket science with the AFC East playing the vaunted NFC West, losing those games would tend to bode very well for Buffalo as well. They are set to face the Seahawks and then at the Cardinals in November before a bye, and then had the 49ers on the road looming on Dec. 7. Take that stretch of the season away and a schedule that already looked pretty darn good on paper sets up even better for the Bills Mafia. The Super Bowl champs don't need any help, but canceling those games against the NFC South Brendan Leipsic Men Jersey sure would be nice. They are set to face that division all in the second half of the season. Including road games at the two Super Bowl contenders from that division New Orleans and Tampa Bay. They are already set to finish with consecutive home games and le sening that December load just a little would go even further to buoy their repeat chances.
As the last sport to begin its regular season amid the pandemic, it’s almost impo sible not to think about the NFL’s start through the prism of the other major pro sports leagues in Igor Larionov Women Jersey this country. I find myself doing it literally all the time.We have come to expect the unpredictable and brace for pretty much anything and accept the fact that these teams and league are going to have to be malleable in ways that never would have been fathomed back in the heady days of say — February — when all of the football world converged in Indianapolis for the scouting combine. So much has changed since then.It’s a new world with new norms, indeed. Precisely what that means for the next month remains to be seen, but one could make the case that certain truisms stand to apply to this sport as well. Baseball is the rival sport to focus on the most, given that it too is operating without a true bubble, and unlike the and , it was not completing a season when the virus struck, but rather preparing to start one. And, unlike what has transpired in Orlando and Canada, the MLB has dealt with daily Covid-related drama and controversy, with the Cleveland Indians’ forays into Chicago nightlife the latest scandal that has caused chaos for that team’s pitching rotation and potentially jeopardized their upcoming schedule as well.It would be nave not to think some of these same i sues await the NFL this fall, once games and travel begin in earnest, and with the country still lacking any coordinated response to the outbreak whatsoever. Short of quarantining everyone a sociated with the sport an exercise that has never seemed reasonable given the pure number of people it requires to get through an NFL workweek there are going to be risks at play in navigating through a season. There is a very real chance the season gets paused, or altered on the fly, as we have seen repeatedly in MLB from Ben Hutton Women Jersey everything to the schedule to the playoff format to how double-headers are played to extra-innings adjustments. And, it has never been more imperative for teams to get off to a quick start; if the NFL were to have to collapse to 10 or 12 games, after playing, say, a month or six weeks, then it would be just as paramount not to have to make up for lost time.Of course, with the NFL’s offseason and preseason already completely refashioned by the pandemic, and forcing teams to adapt in ways never before considered, there were already inherent competitive advantages for certain organizations based on their institutional strength, experience, continuity of coaching staff and key positions (quarterback, middle linebacker) and depth and quality of roster.Add in what could be a very favorable early-season schedule, and you have the makings of a few teams running away from the pack particularly if that team was facing an out-of-conference division that appears to be strong, as those AFC/NFC cro s-conference games are Reid Boucher Jersey considered the most likely to be sacrificed by GMs if the schedule does require truncating. One thing that seems apparent at this point is the NFL starting as planned in Week 1 and playing through as many games as po sible until or unle s the health situation requires a rethink. This could certainly favor certain teams. Here are a few that stood out:Upstart team is building a monster offense — had the benefit of a tremendous base of experiences as a rookie and he and Kliff Kingsbury are already sympatico. If out of conference games are scrapped by October, it would ensure the Cardinals would make just one East Coast trip after Week 4 and spare them a trip to Foxboro in November. Not that the AFC East is stout, but they would get additional days of practice not having to go to the and Pats, a ton more rest and with the and currently scheduled on back to back weeks in November, coming off their bye, perhaps they would get an extended layoff/rest period right in the middle of the season. Trying to think outside the box here, and MLB has already had to deal with teams getting extended breaks just weeks into its season.Right now their first six weeks look fairly treacherous, with the (Week 2) and (Week 4) on the road and the looming at home in Week 6. But imagine if those NFC games were expunged by Week 2? In that scenario, the Pats might not have to make a West Coast trip until December, when they are currently set to face the and back-to-back. For now, it’s an extended California stay, but who knows, maybe it is just a single game Tim Schaller Men Jersey by then. Regardle s, anything that would ease their early-season grind (when would be adjusting to his new offense) could end up paying huge dividends down the road. Kinda seems every year that New England’s schedule is easier than you would think it would be a team that is in the Super Bowl almost every year, so why should zany 2020 be any different?Okay, this isn’t exactly rocket science with the AFC East playing the vaunted NFC West, losing those games would tend to bode very well for Buffalo as well. They are set to face the Seahawks and then at the Cardinals in November before a bye, and then had the 49ers on the road looming on Dec. 7. Take that stretch of the season away and a schedule that already looked pretty darn good on paper sets up even better for the Bills Mafia. The Super Bowl champs don’t need any help, but canceling those games against the NFC South Brendan Leipsic Men Jersey sure would be nice. They are set to face that division all in the second half of the season. Including road games at the two Super Bowl contenders from that division New Orleans and Tampa Bay.
