I give everyone chutzpah points for locking both games! I guess it's all or nothing at this point. But I'm playing it safe.

My heart is with Detroit, but there's no spread, so we're playing the favorites. Hard to lock either game.

Good reminder that sports stars are not idols, they're normal people, prone to change their mind, and prone to be swayed by cold, hard cash. Rahm spent so much time talking about why he doesn't find LIV interesting and doesn't care about the buckets of money. But in the end, as he says plainly, "They really put me in a position where I had to think about it and I did."
As a Tour fan and a Rahm admirer, I am hoping that his plan is to play five years on LIV, then return to the PGA Tour when his majors exemptions run out. If there's a Tour left, that is.

Mitch Haniger is going to be great for the Giants. (Not kidding.)
Apparently top-tier free agents in baseball have only signed back with their old teams two or three times this century. Most players who get that far want to leave--look at Justin Verlander, who took his World Series victory and his Cy Young award and promptly decamped to the Mets. Judge returning to the Yankees is a pretty big deal. His brand is strong enough in terms of ticket and merchandise sales that the team won't regret it. And there's no reason he can't turn into Nelson Cruz the last few years while continuing to lead the team.
