The next stop on the PGA tour is the FedEX St. Jude Championship in Memphis beginning Thursday for top qualifiers of the current season … for others, the season is over.

In the Canadian football league, Saskatchewan Roughriders beat Ottawa, 26-24 … in week 9 play. Former West Bladen & Auburn offensive lineman was placed on the 1-game injured list, same as last week.

The Washington Nationals defeated Cincinnati Reds Sunday, 6-3. Washington begins a 4-game series tonight with the Phillies. MacKenzie Gore is expected to start Wednesday’s game, beginning at 6:40 p.m.

I know, there is more to life than sports … but as I age, I do enjoy, even more.

Simone Biles dominated the U.S. Classic over the past weekend … After a 2-year layoff for medical reasons, she qualified for the national championships … Strong, strong performance … The four-time Olympic gold medalist ‘blew-out” the all-around competition with a total score of 59.100 to re-establish herself among the sport’s elite. Second place finisher had 54.100.

Lots of sickness in the area … Wish all a speedy recovery…
