Will always remember the Brits asking us during our Canary Islands honeymoon why we didn't just go to Miami like they would. And today, it's the place for them to be.

Either I live near a bunch of English soccer fans celebrating these goals, or it’s a bunch of yokels getting in the last of their fireworks. Maybe both?

When I started in the newspaper 30 years ago, I used to study the big football weekend editions at Pattee Library to see how it was supposed to be done. Of all the things to miss about CFB in the 90s here, this might be No. 1 for me.

Wyndham Clark wins US Open. Be good to your locker room attendant.

[Ben Brigandi @BenBrigandi]

If Andy North and Lee Janzen can win multiple US Opens, why can’t Wyndham Clark?

Today shaping up to be the most heartbreaking day for the Oakmont membership since Johnny Miller’s 63.

Wyndham Clark’s worst nightmare ends by him waking up tomorrow as TC Chen.

A barrel of fun at even par. And, except for Schauffele, a dustbin of low nightmares under par.

@uniformcritic Nettles in an Expos uniform is almost as weird as the lone batting glove on his left hand.

I started 30 years ago this summer at the Lock Haven Express, and we covered Bucktail. My predecessor wrote a column saying they should drop the program amidst a 3-year losing skid. I saw some of the complaints. Hope those Renovo folks enjoyed this season, one lasting into June.

Tri-Valley defeated Bucktail (13-4)

Sure, there's trying to play in college, but you have to want and need a college education first. Then there's how well all these teams are even preparing kids for high school competition to make teams and win in front of local fans. Great read ($$)

@JoeGarrisonNews @docmasse Soon went a.m., hired me, then it all went to hell. People say it's not a coincidence.

[Ben Brigandi @BenBrigandi]

@lukereasoner @phillysport @PhillyInquirer 😃 there had to be a good reason. They weren’t going to screw that one up.

[Ben Brigandi @BenBrigandi]

@RealGarrettCarr @JonGerardi @docmasse Still not near enough for the album.

Best headline you're gonna get is "Head-scratcher in the Rai" since he's a relative nobody hope people care. Maybe he helps sell iron covers at munis. But PGA professionals at higher-end places are SOL with this one.
