Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Quicken Loans National 2018: Time, TV schedule for Tiger Woods and the field on Saturday

Tiger Woods is back and in contention on the weekend in DC. Here’s how to watch.

Tiger Woods is back playing the weekend in Washington, DC. It’s been three years since we could say that and we’re in a position for this event to go out with a bang. This is almost certainly the final year of the Quicken Loans National, a Tour stop that Tiger and his people organized and launched in 2007. Quicken is taking their sponsorship dollars to a new event in the Detroit area, and the “National” as a DC-area stop will likely cease to exist. Unless there’s a late Hail Mary, it won’t be on the forthcoming 2019 schedule, which is due out any day now.

The failure to keep this event on the schedule is a shame and there’s blame to go around in many different directions. We’ll get into that polemical stuff after it’s over, but for now, we’re here to enjoy the present.

And the present is Tiger Woods in the hunt on the weekend at a real, actual PGA Tour event. Woods is 5-under after a second round 65 that shot him up the leaderboard heading into the weekend. He started Friday near the cut line and ended up just outside the top 10. He’s four shots off the lead and appears to be comfortable with his new mallet putter. That leading number is also not likely to move a ton, given the heat and conditions in DC all weekend.

The course should just play firmer, faster, and tougher and many of those mid-60s rounds should dissipate. If Tiger can post a couple rounds slightly under par (#LiveUnderPar baby), then we’re in for some fireworks (timely reference) come Sunday afternoon in DC.

Tiger’s tee time is at 12:25 p.m. on Saturday so most of his round will fall within the TV coverage window. But prior to that, you can watch his first couple holes on Facebook, which is where the PGA Tour is now housing the weekend featured groups coverage. If you’re a PGA Tour Live subscriber, you cannot get it on that app and must now watch Facebook. It’s fine that they’re now using that app, but I’m not a fan of it being “exclusively” there early on the weekends. It’s annoying, in my opinion, but that’s what we’re stuck with now.

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
