If you haven't heard of Tom Kim by now, you soon will whether or not you're or a big golf fan. Kim is a 20-year-old South Korean who had the savvy to change his first name to something fans and sponsors could pronounce. And he has a game drawing comparison to Tiger Woods. Yes, that Tiger Woods. When Kim won last week's Shriners Hospital tournament, he joined Tiger as the […]

Last week Albert Pujols reached a monumental plateau, hitting his 700th career home run. He became only the club's 4th member. You might not know that if you only listen to and/or read the sports news. Aaron Judge's pursue of Roger Maris' American League single-season home run record has attracted little attention other than the sports pages. Seldom has either story made the national news. They are examples how national […]

FSU has gotten off to a relatively quiet 4-0 start, but that's about change -- for the good or bad. The Seminoles face an October juggernaut, starting this week with Wake Forest, followed by games against at N.C. State and at home against Clemson.  Win two of those games and the Noles could be looking at an 11-2 or 10-2 record, easily their best under Coach Mile Norvell. Only games […]

The NFL likes to brag about parity, a topic Jaguars fans have poop-pooped. The truth is the NFL is right. Sure, there are exceptions -- whichever team Tom Brady is quarterbacking hovers on top and the Jaguars fighting the muck to escape the cellar. The League seems more balanced now than ever. There have already been 18 games out of 48 this season decided by 3 points or less. Another […]

If you need a break from football -- yeah, I know how stupid that sounds -- I recommend you check out the President's Cup which starts Thursday in Charlotte at Quail Hollow. Even those who love watching golf must think I'm crazy. The team competition between the USA and the world, excluding Europe, is expected to be a red-white-and-blue butt stomping. LIV Golf robbed the International team of its top […]

You may not have recognized what you saw last Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. The team wearing and white-and-black uniforms with the Jaguars logo on it's helmets hadn't been seen in years. QB Trevor Lawrence was efficient, not great. Ditto for every offensive position unit. The defense was great. Five take-aways, five sacks and shutting down the NFL's best running back. Oh yeah, only three penalties for 19 yards. Where in the […]

I can't imagine any rational Gator fan thinking Florida will win at Tennessee. First, the Volunteers are 3-0, admittedly against a relatively soft schedule. Second, the Gators are 2-1, but should be 0-3. A late interception in the end zone gave them a victory against Utah. After being pushed around by Kentucky in the Swamp, a late bad snap in the shotgun formation and a dropped hold on a chip-shot, "gimme: […]

Florida's Coach Billy Napier likes to talk in the abstract. No matter the question, Napier gets around to talking about heart, loyalty, commitment, love and brotherhood. These are all good things. No football team can win without them. But what about the Xs and Os? You can't win without good execution and game-planning. Gator running backs carried the ball 24 times for 133 yards, a 5.5 average, against Kentucky. That's […]
