Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Tiger makes his return to Muirfield Village

Tiger is back at a place where he’s won five times but it’s been three years since he strolled the fairways of Muirfield Village.

Tiger Woods is back on the PGA Tour and playing one of the circuit’s marquee events on Thursday. After a three-year hiatus, Woods returns to the Memorial Tournament, Jack Nicklaus’ little party held in his hometown of Columbus and at the course he built, Muirfield Village. Woods has won this event five times. It’s a dominant record but not as dominant as his career at several other venues like Firestone, Torrey Pines, and Bay Hill. If you combine Firestone and Muirfield Village, Tiger has bagged 13 total wins in the state of Ohio. That’s a career that about 95 percent of players would kill for these days.

Woods will get it going early on Thursday, playing with Justin Rose and Jason Dufner just before 8:30 a.m. ET. This is a mostly second-shot golf course, which could suit Tiger’s strengths so far in this remarkable comeback season. His irons and distance control have been mostly dialed in, save for a couple off events. That’s been the strength of his career and it’s returning to form this year.

Tiger’s entire round on Thursday, barring any weather delays, will fall outside the TV coverage window. Golf Channel will go live on the air at 2:30 p.m., which is a good five hours after Tiger tees off in Columbus. There’s an off chance we get a weather delay and his round pushes into the TV window, but the forecast looks shakier for the afternoon compared to the morning wave.

So if you’re trying to get a Tiger fix, TV is not your option. He will play, however, in PGA Tour Live featured groups stream on Thursday morning. That requires a subscription to the Tour’s OTT service but there could be a workaround. Those streams are now simulcast on ESPN+, which added it to their inventory as that OTT attempt gets off the ground. ESPN+ is offering a free 7-day trial. So there’s your opportunity, if you need an immediate Tiger fix, to watch for free on Thursday morning. He will be back in the TV window playing in the late wave on Friday afternoon.

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...
