50 for two days now, Tommy 'Two Gloves' Gainey is contending on PGA Tour Champions
Two days after turning 50, Two Gloves is contending on the PGA Tour Champions. Tommy Gainey, known for wearing golf gloves on both hands, celebrated his 50th birthday on Aug. 13, just 48 hours before he teed it up in his first senior event. And so far, so good, as Gainey shot 6-under 64 at the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic. Gainey was tied for the clubhouse lead with Shane Bertsch at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary before Steve Alker also shot 63. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Miguel Angel Jimenez later matched Alker's 63. Still, Gainey will start his second round Saturday just a single stroke off the pace. Tommy Gainey won a PGA Tour event in 2012 Gainey played in four PGA Tour tournaments this year, all opposite-field events, and posted finishes of T75, T53, T61 and MC. In his PGA Tour career, he has one career win, the 2012 McGladrey Classic, and three Korn Ferry Tour wins, two coming in 2010 and the third in 2020. Gainey played in only five PGA Tour events in 2024 and was among those who had to go to PGA Tour Q-School last winter but he came up short of a fully-exempt card for 2025. He only made $21,000 in 2024 after missing five of six cuts. His last full season was 2023, where he missed 11 of 16 cuts. But now he's starting a new journey on the Champions circuit and so far, so good.

Steelers repeat 'Kenny Pickett mistake' in latest NFL mock draft
Steelers repeat 'Kenny Pickett mistake' in latest NFL mock draft With the 2025 NFL Draft just 10 days away, it's no secret that the Aaron Rodgers dilemma has left the Pittsburgh Steelers with a pressing need at the quarterback position — but that doesn't mean the team should repeat the same mistake it made with Kenny Pickett in 2022. CBS Sports' Jared Dubin predicted the Steelers will select Ole Miss QB prospect Jaxson Dart with the 21st overall pick in a recent mock draft, and supported the selection with the following argument: 'The Steelers once again look to the quarterback position in the mid-to-late first round. It didn't work out with Kenny Pickett, but Dart has better physical traits and therefore might have higher upside.' The key word here is that Dart "might" have higher upside — and that's exactly why the Pickett experiment failed in Pittsburgh. Instead of selecting a player who may be better than Kenny 'Two Gloves,' why not invest in solving the defensive line issues currently surrounding the Steelers? Or better yet, if the plan is to address defensive tackle in the later rounds, why not use that premium draft pick to find George Pickens' replacement — as most would agree his future in the Steel City beyond 2025 is a long shot at best.
