If the golf gods are real, they will strike me dead when I step onto the links today at 11W's Grassroots Golf Outing. If I prove them fraudulent, I plan on riding a golf cart all over their graves.

- Torrance After Dentist.
- The Jig: How College Sports Are Financed.
- Ezekiel Elliott talks preseason hype.
- BKAB: DaVon Hamilton
- Ronda Rousey responds to Dolodale's overtures.
- 2015 could be a record-setting year.
- OSU's players say #QBgeddon isn't a distraction.
- ESPN at a crossroads.
- ACL Injury Prevention: Does It Work?
