Day 817

  • Dustin Johnson has quit the PGA Tour.
  • Rickie Fowler may soon follow.
  • The USGA says the US Open will accept Phil Mickelson and all eligible golfers.
  • Someone sicced a flamethrower on a San Bernadino, CA street takeover over the weekend.
  • The Carolina Panthers have hired the first transgender cheerleader.
  • Kota Ibushi, the President of New Japan Pro Wrestling, and (reportedly) the assistant to the head booker of the company have all been fined 10% of their third calendar-quarter pay for this year due to the situation between Ibushi and New Japan, which has gravely embarrassed the company to the point of a public apology.  The assistant is also being reassigned to a different position in the company.
  • There is a report the situation has gotten so bad, Ibushi's mother attempted suicide.
  • Australia has won the Asian playoff for the World Cup, and will play Peru for a spot in the field.
  • Phil's sell-out to the Saudi butchers was $200,000,000.  His official PGA Tour winnings over his career:  Not even half that.
  • Taylor Gooch has also left the PGA Tour.
  • Sergio Garcia and Charl Schwartzel as well.  So that's at least six now.
  • Hector Neris has been suspended four games for throwing behind a player's head.
  • One of the most inexplicable ultra-champion runs on Jeopardy! finally ended Monday night.  Eric Ahasic, a weatherman from Minneapolis, finally ousted 16-time champion Ryan Long, who leaves the show just a few hundred dollars over $300,000.  We've had five ultrachamps this year.
  • This is the 19th season of the unlimited-run rule on the show.  There have been 14 people who have won 10 or more games.  FIVE of them this season.
  • A 12-game losing streak has ended the managerial run of Joe Maddon in Los Angeles for the Angels.
  • Reports have it that for every woman already suing DeShaun Watson, there could easily be two more waiting in the wings.
