I don't buy the idea that golf is too expensive. You may say it's outrageous to pay $300 to play Pebble Beach, but I say it's cheap. Where else can you get a piece of heaven for a price like that? | | | | | The only presidential candidate who has taken down Vince McMahon.

| | rantnrave:// You already knew that, before he decided to run for president, DONALD TRUMP dabbled in real estate and reality TV. But did you know he has also dabbled in golf, wrestling and AMERICAN football? And that he once decked VINCE MCMAHON like just another anti-TRUMP protester? We collect decades worth of evidence in our new REDEF SportsSET, "WIDE WORLD OF DONALD TRUMP AND SPORTS"... THE DONALD might want to use his expertise to school his fellow REPUBLICANS on some of the finer aspects of sport. Like HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN, who is confused about how collegiate football rivalries work. Or this delegate from KANSAS, who seems to not be clear on which state the KANSAS CITY ROYALS play in. Or the FLORIDA delegate who thought a convention in CLEVELAND might be a good place to brag about LEBRON JAMES' championships in MIAMI... No, KEVIN DURANT did not leave the THUNDER because he was frustrated with RUSSELL WESTBROOK. Not according to KEVIN DURANT anyway... TIGER WOODS' year is over, which means he will finish 2016 without having played in any major championships. First time ever. And though golf would obviously love to have him back, it's missing him less and less in a year of incredible competition... While the IOC continues to ponder RUSSIA's fate in the SUMMER OLYMPICS, the federations representing individual OLYMPIC sports are calling for "individual justice" -- banning athletes on a case-by-case basis rather than banning the whole delegation. OLYMPIC officials have two weeks to sort this out. But does it even matter? JOHN S. BAICK, a history professor at WESTERN NEW ENGLAND UNIVERSITY, writes that these OLYMPICS are already a failure "because our global sense of an international order has failed. It is a divided, distracted and even defeated international community that is slouching towards RIO." Happy WEDNESDAY. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |
