The US Ryder Cup team may have just gotten the kiss of death.
That's because the weakest golfer on the planet, Cheato Narcissus (Donald Trump), is on the stump for Keegan Bradley to be named to the team. What Trump doesn't know, of course, is whether or not Bradley is even in consideration to make the team, since Scottie Scheffler has dominated the headlines in golf this year. The real life Annoying Orange will say or do anything to keep people distracted from his own problems, which are many.
On the other hand, Trump is also playing the bully card with the Baseball Hall of Fame again, this time advocating for Roger Clemens to be inducted, even though Clemens has already used up his eligibility.
"WAAAAAHHHHHH! He should be in the Hall now! WAAAAAAHHH!"
Clemens, who pitched for Boston, Houston, Toronto, & the Yankees during his career, was accused of using steroids, but it was never proven he did. However, during the 10 year eligibility period, enough baseball writers felt it was, well, guilt by association, since this was during the same era that players like Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, etc., were in the majors. In order for Clemens to go in now, it would be left up to the Hall's Contemporary Committee.
Trump doesn't care about the facts. He wants things done, regardless of consequence, and, of course, you know he hates being told "no", but he'd better get used to that.
Wouldn't surprise me if he eventually starts stumping for McGwire, too.

We're hearing how there allegedly was a conspiracy to keep Shadeur Sanders out of the NFL for various reasons, not entirely having to do with his Hall of Fame father, Deion, now the coach at Colorado. We wouldn't be surprised if that Shadeur's older brother, Shilo, was also a victim of said conspiracy.
Of course, Shilo didn't do himself any favors by being ejected from Tampa Bay's final preseason tune-up on Saturday night, and the next day, the Buccaneers waived goodbye. One wag is suggesting that Shilo could find himself in Canada if he doesn't sign with another NFL team. He had legal issues while at Colorado, and that may be a big reason why he went undrafted, while Shadeur, who has made Cleveland's opening day roster, fell to the 5th round, and there were reasons why that were made obvious on Saturday, as some of his college habits came to the fore.
It can be argued that Shadeur may have been rushed back after missing the previous week with an oblique issue. For now, the Browns will carry 4 quarterbacks (Joe Flacco, Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, & Kenny Pickett), but anything can happen.

Chinese Taipei hadn't won a Little League World Series in 30-odd years before beating Nevada on Sunday to end the drought. Connecticut defeated Aruba in the consolation game to take 3rd place overall.

Normally, the US Open would be just starting, but this year, to accomodate ESPN, the tournament started last week, and will finish before Labor Day for a change. College football gets in the way, you see.
============================================================
More drama involving the Dallas Cowboys and star linebacker Micah Parsons.
Owner-GM-head idiot Jerry Jones is dismissing Parsons' claims of a back injury during training camp as a "negotiating ploy", and the same can be said for Parsons' desire to be traded. Despite a clean MRI, Parsons insists he's injured, and was caught napping on the bench during Friday's win over Atlanta.
Don't ya wish To Tell The Truth was still on the air?
