Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Tiger heads out early on Thursday at Muirfield

Tiger loads up at the Memorial.

Tiger returns to the PGA Tour in a state and at a tournament where he’s piled up wins.

After a two-week break, Tiger Woods returns to the PGA Tour on Thursday morning at the Memorial Tournament. It’s a friendly venue for Woods and one of those places he’s owned over the course of his career. He’s not owned it to the extent he’s owned Bay Hill or Torrey Pines or Firestone, but he still counts five career victories at Jack Nicklaus’ event. That’s a career many pros would happily take.

Woods skipped the Texas two-step, that annual back-to-back series in the Dallas-Fort Worth area following The Players. No one expected him to add those to his schedule but the Memorial was always a lock. It’s the only event he plays, usually, between The Players and the U.S. Open. So this is likely all we’ll see of Tiger before he tees it up at Shinnecock Hills in a few weeks.

Tiger will start his week in Columbus bright and early on Thursday, going off alongside Justin Rose and Jason Dufner. It’s a comfortable pairing for Woods, who plays with Duf down in South Florida and during several practice rounds. Rosie is also an easy playing partner and has been around the block with Woods before too. They tee off at 8:26 a.m. ET at Muirfield Village, which is notorious for catching horrible weather breaks the one week of the year they have this tournament. It’s supposed to rain again on Thursday, and potentially every day after that. But the morning wave does look like it could get past the worst of it so we could see Tiger come in on time Thursday afternoon.

If you want to watch Tiger, you’ll need a subscription to PGA Tour Live or ESPN+. Woods will be in the featured groups stream on those services and, barring no weather delays, play out of the TV coverage window on Golf Channel from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. ET.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
