Wyndham Clark Banned From Oakmont Country Club After Damaging Property
Instead, the professional golfer is trending because of ESPN's Mark Schlabach report that the Oakmont Country Club has now banned Clark from their course. The shutout comes after Clark left his locker damaged after he missed the cut at last month's U.S. Open.
The decision to ban Clark from the premises may not have come easily, as the club reportedly held 'multiple discussions' with the United States Golf Association and the group's board members.
'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board.'

However, Clark isn't entirely out of luck. The ban could still be lifted. But only if he agrees to pay for the damages while also making a 'meaningful contribution' to a hand-picked charity of the Oakmont Country Club's choosing, and seeking counseling and/or anger management therapy.
Clark's frustration was understandable and even a bit expected after he missed the cut by just one stroke. While he later apologized for his behavior, there are clearly still some unpaid dues.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to evaluate his future with Milwaukee Bucks: Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks remains uncertain, as fans continue to wait for his decision regarding the upcoming season. With all the movement going on around the NBA, ESPN's Shams Charania appeared on First Take on Monday to give an update on the 30-year-old Bucks star's status. While Antetokounmpo seems to be in no hurry to decide, the NBA insider claims that teams are on the prowl in case he becomes available on the trade market. "There are multiple teams I know of that are literally waiting right now on what decision Giannis Antetokounmpo makes," Charania said. "Waiting to see, does he actually hit the market? Training camps don't start till mid-September." "There have been examples in the past. Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics in August when he got moved. Damian Lillard was actually traded to Milwaukee in September. So there are deals that happen late in summer." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Milwaukee bested the Phoenix Suns to win just the second title in franchise history in 2021, but has struggled to follow up on the championship campaign. The Bucks fell to the Celtics in the second round in 2022. Since then, they have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in each of the past three years. Rumors about the uncertainty of Antetokounmpo's future in Cream City escalated this past season following their early elimination against Indiana. Additionally, the Bucks waived point guard Damian Lillard after two seasons while he deals with an Achilles tear that he sustained against the Pacers in late April. Since then, Lillard signed a three-year deal to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, where he played for the first 11 years of his career. Charania noted that a big factor in Antetokounmpo remaining with the Bucks is the likelihood of winning a second title with the team. "There is nothing set in stone about whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo stays in Milwaukee or whether he wants to leave elsewhere," Charania shared. "He's been evaluating his future this entire offseason. I reported way back in mid-May that he is open-minded about whether his best fit is in Milwaukee or in a trade. That process has been continuing. There's been some conversations he's having with his inner circle. "The one big question that's been surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, surrounding his camp, is can he win another championship? Is this Bucks roster built for this upcoming season, for him to win his second championship?" With teams being linked to him, Antetokounmpo recently proclaimed his love for Milwaukee in an interview with internet personality iShowSpeed (real name Darren Watskin Jr.). "A lot of people are trying to convince me to play there," Antetokounmpo told Watkins when asked about moving teams. Watkins then asked if he plans to stay in Milwaukee, to which he replied, "Probably." "We'll see, probably. I love Milwaukee," he continued. Antetokounmpo has been in Milwaukee since the Bucks selected him with the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Upon his arrival, the Bucks nurtured him to become a nine-time All-Star, two-time league MVP and franchise player. With suspense surrounding his time with the Bucks, Antetokounmpo remains on his three-year deal, which he signed in 2023. His $186 million contract was meant to keep Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee through the duration of Lillard's deal before his abrupt dismissal. The current deal includes a player option for the 2027-28 season, per Spotrac. Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points and 11.9 rebounds per game this past season as the Bucks finished fifth in the East with a 48-34 record.

Ohio State vs Texas will be first season-opening No. 1 vs No. 2 game in history
Ohio State and Texas will face off in a historic season opener as the first time in college football history the top two teams will meet in Week 1. Ohio State's upcoming season-opening game against Texas was always going to be a blockbuster affair. It's two College Football Playoff contenders meeting each other right out of the gate. It's the place to be in Week 1, and the whole college football world knows it. ESPN's College GameDay will be there. So will FOX's Big Noon Kickoff. And the game that everyone is looking forward to just got more historic. With the release of the preseason USA TODAY US LBM Coaches Poll, the game will also be a battle between the top two teams in the country. Those games are rare, certainly, but not unheard of. While the BCS all-but guaranteed them occurring at least once a year in the postseason, they happen an average of once every few years in the regular season. Perhaps the more common occurrences in the postseason will make them less special (though with the College Football Playoff now at 12 teams and possibly expanding further, the likelihood of such games has decreased), but they're still rare and monumental occurrences in the regular season. What makes the upcoming Ohio State vs Texas game so special, though, is that it will be the first time in history that such a game will open the season. That's right. Since college football polls started in 1936 (AP Poll; the Coaches Poll started in 1950), there has never been a No. 1 vs No. 2 game in Week 1. It remains to be seen if the AP Poll will agree with the top two (those rankings debut next Monday), but with the US LBM Coaches Poll out, it's guaranteed. Of course, late-season No. 1 vs No. 2 games mean more, because we know a lot more about the teams when those rankings are given. Preseason rankings are an educated guess, and can end up wrong--due to injuries, other issues, or just being wrong. Still, it's very cool to be part of history. Another interesting part of history? There has only been Week 2 game in college football history between the top two teams in the rankings. That game came back in 2006. The teams competing? Ohio State and Texas. (The Buckeyes won that one 24-7.)

Buccaneers earn low spot in latest rankings from ESPN ahead of 2025 season
The NFL and the coaches that have the privilege to lead one of the 32 teams in the league are in a unique spot. They get to build their staff, top to bottom, in hopes they can execute the dream outcome they have in winning a Super Bowl. Of course, every year, there are some coaches being fired, assistants move around, while others get promoted and have their chance to lead a team. All of these moving pieces can make things hard to track and grade, but ESPN's Benjamin Solak did it. He looked at all 32 teams and their staff and ranked them. Bucs fans won't be happy to know he ranked them 26th. He explains his rankings of the Bucs staff, writing, "Come with me to a magical land in which Liam Coen actually stayed as the Bucs' OC this season (too soon, Bucs fans?) They'd probably be 12th or 13th on this list -- maybe even higher. . .But it isn't, so those little margins from the head coach glare all the more. I'm very excited to see what Grizzard, who has the vibe of a whiz kid, does at the helm. . .Color me intrigued. But even if Grizzard has the goods, it will be difficult to replicate just how prolific the Buccaneers' offense was last season. Tampa needs more from Bowles' in-game decision-making, and he needs more from his defense. . ." While keeping Liam Coen remains a touchy subject, the team's excitement surrounding Josh Grizzard should keep readers and fans optimistic. As for Todd Bowles, the team has faith in him after he received a contract extension this offseason, but he still needs to do more than just win division titles. A playoff run into the divisional round or an NFC championship game would also work.
