Waugh, the PGA of America’s CEO since 2018, is 65, but with his long silver hair and deep tan, he himself resonates California-beach cool, although he is Massachusetts born-and-raised. “We’ve gone from being ...
CHICAGO — Eddie George had no plans to coach football. The long hours turned off the former Tennessee Titans All-Pro running back. He loved having time to invest in his golf game. He was building his wealth management business and acting in movies, TV and plays, including starring on Broadway as Billy Flynn in “Chicago.” “Trying to win a HEGOT,” George said. “That’s Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, ...
PITTSBURGH — Not surprisingly, the NFL has dusted off the third quarterback rule and brought it back in an attempt to avoid a potential repeat of what happened to the San Francisco 49ers in last season's NFC championship game. The rule, which hasn't been in effect since 2010, will have no impact on the Steelers' 53-man roster makeup because they have carried three quarterbacks since the Chuck ...

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jameson Williams said he wasn’t fully aware of NFL rules against players gambling and didn’t know he did anything wrong. His confusion might be considered understandable with all the league’s ties to betting sites, except the guidelines are explicit, and ignorance of the rules isn’t a remotely acceptable excuse.

Clint Castleberry had one glorious season at Georgia Tech. He was a whirlwind on both sides of the line, seeming to turn up everywhere. And then, he was gone. All that potential, snuffed out by the horrors of war. On this Memorial Day weekend, the largely forgotten exploits of Castleberry are a somber, painful reminder of what might've been if not for war. He finished third in the Heisman balloting as a freshman in 1942. Then he headed off to World War II, where he died while piloting a B-26 off the coast of Africa. He was just 21.
Southeastern Conference leaders will continue debating what to do with their football schedule when they meet in the Florida Panhandle next week. The options: Play eight conference games with one annual rival or go to nine with three. Whether ESPN is willing to pay for extra conference games will factor into the decision, but how much? There is still no hard deadline to make a call on a format that goes into effect next year. Commissioner Greg Sankey told AP there is no guarantee a vote will even be taken next week.
