Have you ever had a better Sunday watching sports??
Don’t lie. Be honest. I’ll know if you’re lying.
Seriously though, whether you watched the handful of thrilling NFL games, or watched Dustin Johnson dominate at The Masters, you and your ass groove on the couch definitely became reacquainted.

THIS is important.
THIS has to enact change.
THIS needs to be bigger than YOU.
THIS is all there is.
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

There is a MAJOR problem in this country.
And this problem will never be solved until we change our way of thinking.
We must ALL realize that we are the SAME.
That vital message needs to be heard by so many, and we can’t allow it to get lost in the mix.
Peaceful protests need to remain peaceful.
We must stand together, hand in hand, and fight for what’s right.
We can not allow the few to ruin it for the masses.
STAY SAFE EVERYONE!!

Sports leagues want to restart.
We want sports back.
Sports leagues are making it seem like they’re actually trying to start playing games again..soon.
And this has caused some players to start complaining about their salaries.

If you could watch the two greatest athletes of all-time, in their respective sport, play each other, who would they be??
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have matching contracts.
The Houston Texans may be a lost soul.
And the ESPYS suck.

I have everything a man could ever want: Amazing wife, beautiful children (including my son on the way and my son with four legs; Jordan), awesome parents, great friends, health, and happiness.
But the sports world….thought I could use more:
Kawhi Wants Out
Kawhi Leonard leaking that he wants out of San Antonio Friday was my early Father’s Day gift. Kawhi, allegedly disgruntled, requested a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. While Kawhi can request whatever he’d like, he’s under contract for two more seasons, so the Spurs are in no rush to ship their best player out of town. At the same time, a disgruntled employee makes the Christmas Party awkward.
It’s eerily similar to Kyrie Irving asking out of Cleveland. Many were confused why Kyrie would throw annual trips to the NBA Finals alongside the world’s best player in the toilet for his own spotlight. And now, we should remain confused why Kawhi doesn’t want to play under the tutelage of the world’s best coach. Rather than try to understand an NBA star’s mindset, we’ll simply understand the NBA is ruled by its stars.
So, Kawhi will get traded.
Sooner, rather than later.
Mexico Takes Down Germany
There was no better gift than what Sunday morning brought DaveTalksSports; a Mexico victory over Germany!!!!
While the entire world, besides Mexico (and my house), thought Mexico had no chance in Sunday’s World Cup match against Germany, Mexico overcame. They outplayed the defending World Cup Champions, capturing a 1-0 victory. The lone goal came from Hirving Lozano in the 35th minute:
If you weren’t sure if Mexicans get excited for their futbol team, just ask the earthquake sensors in Mexico City. Just seven seconds after Lozano’s goal, not one, but two earthquake sensors registered tremors. Experts are calling it an “artificial earthquake”.
THAT IS FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!!!
And Then, There Was Golf
The U.S. Open was a great tournament. Tommy Fleetwood gave the field all they could handle with his 63 on Sunday. Brooks Koepka became the 1st golfer since Curtis Strange in 1989 to win back-to-back U.S. Opens. But the story here is Phil Mickelson….
Watch first, then we’ll talk:
Uhhh, Phil, what the hell are you doing?!
The answer would be CHEATING!! Last time I checked, you can’t hit the ball while it’s still rolling. I know that. You know that. But most importantly, Phil knows that. Phil made the conscious decision to break this rule, figuring he’d be better off with a two-stroke penalty than playing the ball from wherever it stopped rolling.
Some would call that smart, clever, or practical. Some would be a**holes.
Phil Mickelson should be ashamed of himself.
The USGA should be ashamed of themselves. This inane rule needs to be changed, as Phil should have been disqualified from this tournament immediately.
How was your Father’s Day?? Was it possibly as good as mine?? Use that comment section people.

Watching professional golf is interesting — to some. Some find it boring. Some think, “ehh, that’s no big deal, I could do that!” And some, or most, avoid it all together.
Whether you like, love, or hate golf, you should appreciate how talented professional golfers are. For anyone who’s played golf, understanding and amazement is in order. And that’s what made Thursday’s opening round at the U.S. Open so much fun to watch.
While I don’t actively root for golfers to play poorly, I enjoy watching them look human, mortal. When a professional golfer, who qualified for the U.S. Open, shoots a 92, I feel better about my golf game. It’s true!!
And yes, that part’s real. Someone shot a 92 Thursday at Shinnecock Hills. That someone would be Scott Gregory (as pictured above). Gregory (23), from England, became the 1st golfer since 2002 to shoot a round in the 90s at the U.S. Open. In Gregory’s defense, Shinnecock was playing REALLY tough Thursday. The four co-leaders, including Dustin Johnson, stand at just -1. Notables like defending champion Brooks Koepka (+5), Bubba Watson (+7), Phil Mickelson (+7), Jordan Spieth (+8), Tiger Woods (+8), Jason Day (+9), and Rory McIlroy (+10) all struggled tremendously.
The top-10 golfers in the world combined to shoot 52-over par Thursday.
Struggled is the understatement of the century. Those scores are putrid. With the field struggling mightily, it’ll be interesting to see where the cut lands, and who will be on the wrong side of it.
____________________________________________________________________________
I know, I know, it’s just the Tampa Bay Rays, but a win, is a win. The Yankees continued their strong play Thursday with a 4-3 victory, and have now won 11-of-their-last-14 games. And while many expected the big bats of Sanchez and Stanton to carry this Yankee lineup, it’s the youth movement of Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar, and Aaron Judge doing the heavy lifting.
Yes, the Yankees need a (good) starting pitcher. But for “experts” to suggest they should include Gleyber Torres in a trade, is not only preposterous, it’s a fireable offense. Imagine if the Yankees traded Derek Jeter in 1996. The entire landscape of my childhood would be different. But more importantly, the five World Series victories from ’96 to ’09 may have never happened. Don’t look at me like I’m crazy! That’s the kind of talent we’re talking about here.
Since Torres’ call-up (April 22nd), he’s been the Yankees’ best hitter. He’s hit 13 home runs with 33 r.b.i, while hitting .295. He has two walk-off hits, and is the sole reason they pulled off another victory Thursday.
(the magic happens at 50 seconds)
Would you trade Gleyber Torres?? If you are insane enough to say yes, please stay away from my comment section. Thanks!

The World Cup begins. The U.S. Open begins. And the New York Mets look to score their first run of the season….
World Cup
Today, droves of people will pretend to be DIE HARD soccer fans. They’ll buy jerseys. They’ll take off work to watch “their” team play. Hell, they may even paint their faces.
And in approximately four weeks, they’ll forget soccer ever existed.
It’s actually amazing.
So, Mother Russia is your host, and they’ll kick off the World Cup with the 1st match @ 11:00 A.M. EST. They’ll take on Saudi Arabia, the presumed worst team in Group A. The rest of their group is made up of Uruguay and Egypt. In other words, the host country has received a cake walk into the next round. If only that was a coincidence….
Here are the rest of the groups:
B
Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Iran
C
France, Denmark, Peru, and Australia
D
Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria, Iceland
E
Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, and Costa Rica
F
Germany, Sweden, Mexico, and South Korea
G
Belgium, England, Tunisia, and Panama
H
Colombia, Poland, Japan, and Senegal
Team to feel bad for: Morocco
Landing in a group with Spain and Portugal just seems like slow, painful, torture to me.
Underdog with a chance: Colombia
If they beat Germany, and that’s the biggest IF ever, they have a chance.
World Cup Champion: Brazil
Brazil is the Vegas favorite (+400) to win the World Cup. Having not won a World Cup since 2002 (pobre Brazil), they’re due.
U.S. Open (Golf)
The 1st round of the U.S. Open will be played today. This year’s U.S. Open is being hosted by Shinnecock Hills, right in my back yard. 156 golfers will tee-it-up on Thursday in hopes to raise that trophy on Sunday evening. Shinnecock Hills was last home to the U.S. Open in 2004, a tournament won by Retief Goosen.
The Vegas favorite this week is Dustin Johnson (+900). After winning the FedEx St. Jude Classic this past weekend, DJ looks to be back to his winning ways.
Not that he has a chance to win, but Tiger Woods (+1600) is playing in his 1st U.S. Open since 2015 (where he missed the cut), and last won in 2008.
My money’s on Jordan Spieth (+1400). Not a long shot by any stretch of the imagination. Just my humble opinion.
Worst. Offense. EVER!!
The New York Mets’ offense is taking anemic to a whole new level. Since June 1st (10 games), they have scored 14 runs. That’s less, over the same time span, than some individual players. Evan Gattis has driven in 18 runs since June 1st.
The Mets are literally wasting Jacob deGrom’s prime. Over his last 10 starts, deGrom has lowered his e.r.a. from 3.24 to 1.55, giving up a total of 6 runs, and has only won two of those starts. THAT’S EMBARRASSING!!!!
Oh, and the Mets as a team, have lost 10-of-their-last-11 games. The near future doesn’t look any brighter either, with their next eight games on the road (Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies).
