How dumb do you have to be to invest in anything connected to Eric Adams?
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour now, and the Tour is inviting three LIV Golf players -- Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith -- to come back this season with him.
Brooks Koepka has been reinstated to PGA Tour membership under the new Returning Member Program, will come back at Torrey Pines. The program rules are quite generous, with no suspensions.

Appreciate the PGA Tour calling a spade a spade. From the player handbook this year:
"Due to the uncertain legal and regulatory framework around 'prediction markets', Gambling Companies that are operating as 'prediction markets' (e.g., Kalshi, Polymarket, PredictIt) will not be approved."

The PGA Tour is making big changes to the FedEx Cup playoffs and bonus pool for 2026
PGA Tour is making big changes to the FedEx Cup playoffs and bonus pool for 2026
The PGA Tour has made big changes to the FedEx Cup playoffs and how its bonus pool is paid out in recent years. In 2026, though, the PGA Tour is again making another massive overhaul to how the playoffs work and how the best players in the world earn their share of the $100 million pot. While the top 70 players in the points standings after the Wyndham Championship will still qualify for the playoffs, everything changes at that point.

Brooks Koepka filing for reinstatement is just another step in what feels like a process that's probably more coordinated than it would seem

I know no one really cares about LIV Golf, but can I just say that their Promotions format absolutely doesn't identify the best players? Also, there are 10x more camera people than fans in attendance.

Littler vs. Van Veen tomorrow in a rematch of the Junior World Championship (basically under 25 years old). Should be a belter!

A realistic chance the title game is No. 1 Indiana vs. Ole Miss sans Lane Kiffin. Absolutely awesome.
