In a dramatic twist during Oklahoma’s 93-87 win over No. 21 Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon in Norman, guard Duke Miles endured a painful setback when he lost parts of two teeth.
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has declared a stance on a hot debate on the course.
AimPoint, a method of finding a putting line on the green, has been criticized by those who don’t use it, saying that it affects the pace of play on the PGA Tour.
Spiranac is in that camp after what she saw on the LPGA Tour – a player going through their AimPoint routine a foot from the hole.
"Ban Aim Point," Spiranac posted on X over a picture of the LPGA Tour player.
Slow play has been a controversial topic in golf recently, especially with rounds in tournaments like the Farmers Insurance Open taking almost six hours to complete.
PGA Tour golfer Lucas Glover said on SiriusXm PGA Tour Radio that, while it isn’t proven AimPoint is causing these pace of play issues on the course, it can take too long to get the read and the results are not any better than other methods.
"AimPoint statistically hasn’t helped anybody make more putts since its inception on the PGA Tour, statistics have borne that out," Glover said.
Glover also pointed out how the method requires players to walk near the hole and make their way back to the ball.
"It’s also kind of rude to be up near the hole and stomping around, figuring out where the break is in your feet. It needs to be banned. It takes forever," he said.
There are others, however, who believe if AimPoint was adopted by more, the game would move quicker.
"It would speed up play as it takes an average of 10 seconds to get a read," Europe’s senior instructor Jamie Donaldson told Golf Monthly.
Collin Morikawa, who uses AimPoint, heard what Glover had to say and retorted with a proposed ban on "long putters," which the latter uses.
As of now, the PGA will continue to allow AimPoint, but pace of play will continue to be a hot topic moving forward.
After Max Tsyplakov’s agent in Russia, Alexander Chernykh, told Sport Express he was working on an extension with the Islanders last week, Tsyplakov put the brakes on things for the time being.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 880th, 881st and 882nd career goals to move 13 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL record and give the Washington Capitals a 7-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.
Former Green Bay Packers star Brett Favre offered a short response on social media to the proposal from Wisconsin’s Democratic governor to replace "mother" with "inseminated person."
But it was far from the only proposal in Tony Evers administration’s budget recommendation. Other so-called gendered terms were also called on to change, including "paternity" to "parentage," "wife" or "husband" to "spouse" and "father" to "parent." The word "mother" was also recommended to change to the phrase "parent who gave birth to the child."
"Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ latest left-wing push isn’t just out of touch, it’s offensive to mothers," Republican Governors Association executive director Sara Craig said in a statement. "Being a mother is the greatest privilege I will have in my lifetime, and every mother I know feels the same. If Tony Evers can reduce motherhood to an ‘inseminated person’ then our society is lost."
Evers said his plan would eliminate income tax on tips, prevent homeowners from seeing property tax increases and improve the state’s infrastructure, among other things, when he introduced the budget proposal.
However, he made no mention of the language in the bill.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., reacted to Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ spat with President Donald Trump over the issue of transgender inclusion in women’s sports.
Trump signed the "No Men in Women’s Sports" executive order earlier this month to ensure that no transgender athletes compete against women or girls in sports. Some states, like Maine, have bucked the executive order.
It all led to a public dustup between Mills and Trump on Friday. Trump threatened to withhold federal funding if the state continued to allow trans athletes in women’s sports. Mills retorted, "We’ll see you in court."
Blackburn talked about Maine’s decision in an interview on "Fox News Live" with anchor Mike Emanuel.
"This is one of those defining issues between the left and the right," she said. "We fully believe that President Trump is right on this. It is the policy of the federal government that we will support Title IX, as there, for women and women's sports, and we will not support men, biological men in women sports. and as President Trump said that this is the federal position and therefore the governor should be enforcing that.
"She should want to protect women and women's sports. It is unbelievable that she would choose to not do that."
The executive director of the primary governing body for high school sports in the state of Maine said athletic teams will continue to determine eligibility based on a student's stated gender identity, despite the president's executive order seeking to keep "men out of women's sports."
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat who serves as the chairman of the National Governors Association, talked about Mills and Trump’s spat.
"As governors, we have our prior initiative that we continue to work on is to disagree better," Polis said.
"We always hope that people can disagree in a way that elevates the discourse and tries to come to a common solution around... what the issue is. I don't think that that disagreement is necessarily a model of that," he continued, adding that some governors may not have known the origins of the fiery exchange at the time.
