No one’s perfect, and you don’t have to be when trying to work your way into a conversation. The fun part about sports is…that it’s truly a team sport. Asking questions and admitting you’d like to learn more only incites interest and intrigue.
Killer confidence,

PGA (Professional Golfers Association)
Three cheers for golfer Phil Mickelson who won the PGA Championship tournament yesterday. With his win, Mickelson, who is 50 years, 11 months and 7 days old, became the oldest player in history to win a major and the oldest to win the PGA Championship. (FYI - the PGA has four major tournaments a year - the Masters is one of them). Mickelson, aka “Lefty,” has six PGA major wins under his belt and beat out Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen for the win. FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Overtime
If you needed any more proof that gymnast Simone Biles is a total bad*ss, she landed the Yurchenko Double Pike on the vault on Saturday. In the first time she’s competed in over a year, she became the first woman ever to land the move in competition. She said she is considering performing the move at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Just another reason to get excited and tune in. DRIVE THOSE RATINGS
Sideline stat
The New York Knicks (NBA - National Basketball Association) are in the playoffs for the first time in eight years, but the ‘F-You’ chants coming from the crowd during their last game might have made you think otherwise. The 15,000 fans, separated into vaccinated/unvaccinated sections, knew their team was playoff-bound. Still, when Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks made a game-winning shot, causing the Knicks to lose, the Knicks fans let him have it because it put a damper on their celebration. ALWAYS WANTING MORE
Coaches’ corner
Racing really showed off their big guns yesterday, with Matthew McConaughey kicking off the first-ever road course race for NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) in Austin. Mother Nature wasn’t so impressed, and Chase Elliott won the rain-shorted race. Serena Williams waved the checkered flag at the scenic F1 (Formula One) race in Monaco. The phenom Max Verstappen took home the win. SPOTTED
