Receiving all of those gifts and all of that ambition must be so outrageously fun. Learning that you are preternaturally skilled at this singular thing must feel like magic. No achievement is too outlandish. Nothing beyond your reach.

You must feel like you are a god.

And over time, you become convinced that giving your entire self over to your gifts must be the answer. What are you supposed to do, *not* develop them? *Not* strive to be great at whatever it is you do? This is the weight of the gifts.

The highs are so high. The achievements so extraordinary. You are historically relevant for generations. You fulfilled the life everyone thinks they want.

What you aren't told until it's too late, though, is that the moments are more fleeting than you were promised. The happiness less fulfilling than it should have been.

What you aren't told is that giving your entire self over to the extreme pursuit of greatness oftentimes -- not always, but oftentimes -- comes at a tremendous price.

What you are not told when you're 18 or 22 or 30 is that the true cost of all these dreams and all that glory and this entire life you were supposed to live is so much greater than you ever would have paid.

I showed up at the @ISCOChamp today with low expectations. But they might be onto something.

We've been blessed for 13 years having @rickbozich here. He's a legend far beyond the Louisville sports market with a quiet humility to match his outsized talent and wisdom. Happy retirement, Dr. Bo.

The best sporting event in the world. Can’t believe we got to witness that. Rory deserves it all.

Forever thankful for everything Jen did for this place and for me.

The result of a pressure campaign that highlights both general American gluttony and also the chasm in attitude between this Ryder Cup team and its far-more-successful European counterpart.

[Fried Egg Golf @fried_egg_golf]

Official announcement of U.S. Ryder Cup team members receiving an additional $300,000.

“While no players asked to be compensated, the PGA of America Board of Directors has voted to increase the allocation to the members of the U.S. Ryder Cup team from $200,000 to be directed to charities – a figure unchanged since 1999 – to $500,000, with $300,000 of that to be directed to the charity or charities of the players’ choice. The balance is a stipend.”

Someone out there has @Bengals and @UKFootball season tickets and is having a bad time.

I’m gonna need a week or two to process how insane this is.

Where’s Romines

[Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins]

This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police. He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.

Places like this thrive because of people like this. Kerry spent more years than I've been alive as the consummate news man, the beating heart of a bustling newsroom. He showed up every day and made everyone's job and life better. He'll be dearly missed.

The sports beat has changed a lot in the last 20 years, and Kyle is among the best at everything it now entails. Learned a lot from him in Lexington, and his dogged reporting and eloquent writing will be missed.

[Kyle Tucker @KyleTuckerCBB]

After 21 years as a sportswriter, the last 13 covering Kentucky, I’m hanging up my press pass.

Toughest decision of my life, but an opportunity outside journalism was too good to pass up.

What a ride! So grateful for all who trusted me to tell their story and all who read them.

Scottie Scheffler's charges were dropped today 12 days after his arrest outside Louisville's Valhalla Golf Club, the prosecutor calling it a "misunderstanding" https://t.co/vO7yZzw3Kf

[David Schuh @DavidSchuh24]

Xander Schauffele has felt the weight of failure for a long time. On Sunday, he decided to face that burden and carry it with him.

My story from Valhalla on Schauffele’s patience and perseverance culminating, finally, in a major championship. https://t.co/NDY3qD5s5a

Viktor Hovland was the last man left on the driving range Wednesday night. Three days later, a major championship is in his sight.

Scottie Scheffler's heart was racing. Sitting in a Louisville jail cell, he saw a TV across the room that made him wonder if he could still make his tee time.

So he got up and started stretching.

Grandstand chants “Free Scottie! Free Scottie!” as Scheffler’s group arrives at 11 green.

[David Schuh @DavidSchuh24]

Massive crowd out here on No. 10 with Scottie Scheffler. By his 10:08 a.m. tee time today, he became the fan favorite.
