🚨🗣️⛳️ #NEW — Speaking from the 3M Open, Scottie Scheffler was asked to respond regarding Rory’s comments about Bryson at The Open and more broadly about rivalries in sports.
“I've never been a big fan of personal jabs. I don't think that rivalry is a big thing in golf just because, like I said, my biggest rivalry week in and week out is the golf course….”
“I think golf's different in a sense of a lot of other sports because my biggest rival week in and week out is the golf course that we're playing. I mean, I could never stop somebody from doing anything in golf.”
“I felt like when I played basketball there
would always be rivalries in basketball because you're going to play defense against a person and that is much more personal in a sense like because I'm actively trying to stop -- like if you and I were going to go out and play one-on-one, like it would turn into a rivalry because I'm actively trying to stop what you're doing, but in golf, we're always competing against ourselves on the golf course.”
I’m all for a free market in the private sector but when it’s public money this is OUTRAGEOUS. These people might be good at their job (although that’s debatable) but these multiple six figure sums are disgusting when they are looking for bail outs.
And they wonder why people are not paying a television licence to fund this madness.

The 14 Holy Helpers.
“The prayer of a righteous
person is powerful and
effective.” — James 5:16.
These are a group of saints who became especially popular in Europe during times of plague, war, and other crises. Catholics have traditionally invoked them for help in urgent needs, illness, and protection.
Here are the 14 Holy Helpers and the causes for which they are traditionally invoked:
1. St. Achatius (Agathius),
against headaches and
anxiety about death.
2. St. Barbara – against sudden
or unprovided death.
3. St. Blaise – for illnesses of
the throat.
4. St. Catherine of Alexandria –
for students, philosophers,
and against sudden death.
5. St. Christopher – for
travelers and protection from
danger.
6. St. Cyriacus – against
temptation and demonic
oppression.
7. St. Denis (Dionysius) –
against headaches.
8. St. Erasmus (Elmo) – for
abdominal ailments and
sailors.
9. St. Eustace – in family
troubles and difficult trials.
10. St. George – for courage
and protection in spiritual
battle.
11. St. Giles – for the disabled
and for a good confession.
12. St. Margaret of Antioch –
for pregnant women and
childbirth.
13. St. Pantaleon – for doctors,
nurses, and the sick.
14. St. Vitus – against nervous
disorders and epilepsy.
Does the Catholic Church
officially teach this devotion?
Yes. The Church permits and has long encouraged devotion to these saints as a private devotion, but Catholics do not believe the saints have power apart from God. The saints are asked to pray for us, just as we ask fellow Christians to pray for us.
Prayer:
“O Holy Helpers, faithful servants of God, pray for us in our needs. Obtain for us from the Lord healing, protection, strength, and peace, that we may trust always in His mercy through Christ our Lord.
Amen.”🙏🌹💖
Prayer to St. Clare of Assisi
O glorious St. Clare of Assisi,
faithful disciple of Jesus Christ and devoted follower of St. Francis, you renounced the riches of this world to embrace a life of poverty, prayer, and perfect trust in God.
Obtain for me the grace to love Christ above all things and to seek His holy will in every moment of my life. Help me to grow in humility, purity, charity, and unwavering faith.
Pray that I may have the courage to follow the Gospel faithfully, to persevere in times of trial, and to place my complete confidence in God's loving providence.
Intercede for my family, my friends, and all those who ask for my prayers. Comfort the suffering, strengthen the weak, protect the vulnerable, and lead sinners back to the mercy of God.
Holy St. Clare, whose life reflected the light of Christ, help me to become a faithful witness of His love through my words, actions, and service to others.
May I always seek the treasures of heaven rather than the passing things of this world, and one day rejoice with you in the eternal presence of God.
St. Clare of Assisi, pray for us.
Amen.
In July 1975, Bob Dylan played a new song at an impromptu appearance in a small folk club.
The track could have been a highlight of Desire, the album he was about to start recording, but most Dylan fans wouldn’t hear Abandoned Love for another decade.
