late Phillies' star dick Allen headed for induction to the baseball hall of fame Sunday in Cooperstown. should have happened 15 years ago.
When two @GatorsFB Heisman Trophy winners, a two-time SEC Player of the Year and a UF receiving legend/SEC Network star are seated at same table, u gotta snap the pic. My first time at Spurrier’s restaurant, didn’t know he had his own beer (Head Beer Coach) for consumption.

Great time tonite at Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille celebrating final and 50th year of Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart, covering CFB. Good catching up with Danny Wuerffel, Chris Doering and Shane Matthews, along with longtime UF media guys Buddy Martin, Pat Dooley, Robbie Andrew.

Best wishes to Josh Hines-Allen and his 7-year-old son, Wesley, and family in his ongoing battle with leukemia. Thanks be to God that he’s “on his way to a full recovery.” Talk about putting life in perspective. A Wesley win here is far more important than any #Jaguars game.
With regard to Scottie hot streak, here’s some context: Last golfer to win his 4th major in his 20s, Brooks Koepka, won one more major over next 6 years and hasn’t sniffed contention in last 10 majors. McIlroy needed 11 years to win his next major, albeit he contended many times.
Reminder: the 2026 @usopengolf at Shinnecock ends on Scheffler’s 30th birthday.
If your church supports abortion, find yourself a different church.
What that NBC Tiger-Scottie comparison stat about both winning 1st and 4th major 1,197 days apart is Woods was 24 at time he won 4th, Scottie is 29.
This will be Scheffler’s 4th major title, with one more chance to make it 5 before turning 30 next June. Golfers with most majors in 20s: Tiger 10, Jack 7, Bobby Jones 7, McIlroy 4, Player 4, Koepka 4, Seve 4, Watson 4, Hagen 4, Peter Thomson 4, Young Tom Morris 4, Sarazen 3.
Only suspense left is whether Scheffler breaks @TheOpen scoring record of 20-under by Henrik Stetson.
Why does late night have to be about out of favor political parties? Maybe they could get more ad money if they'd run late night like Carson did, and concentrate on pop culture and leave politics alone for the most part.
If Scottie Scheffler wins his third different major at @TheOpen, his first shot at completing the Grand Slam would be at 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock, which finishes up on his 30th birthday. Only Tiger, Jack and Gary Player completed the GS before turning 30.
After 817 days of cancer treatment Willie finally got to RING THAT BELL 🔔 Way to go Willie !!!!
Enjoyed listening to a bunch of baseball coaches, most of them who played or coached at FSCJ, tell stories Thursday at one of the longest lunches I’ve ever had in my life. Ex-FSCJ catcher and @GatorsBB coach Kevin O’Sullivan told me he wishes he had been there.

Of the 31 players who shot under par in the opening round at the Open, 15 are European and 11 are American. Could have some nice Ryder Cup-type duels come Sunday.
Seen it all about Trevor. didn’t play top 10 cause he spends too much time with his family. doesn’t watch film pays to much time on his hair doesn’t like football. I’ve heard it all and it’s all ridiculous. God forbid a guy has some hobbies, a family and showers 😂
Unfortunately yes my parents watched it every Saturday night
Amazing thing about Rory McIlroy winning the Grand Slam is before him, only two Europeans, England’s Jim Barnes and Scotland’s Tommy Armour, won 3 of 4 majors, all before the Masters was created.
Go Rosey!!!
Football star, actor and minister, Rosey Grier, turns 93 today. Grier is the oldest living former NFL player.
