IOC President Thomas Bach Offers Pep Session For Tokyo Games And Talks Up Vaccine

IOC president Thomas Bach delivered a pep talk to Japanese government officials and local organizers on Thursday that included suggestions that hundreds of millions of doses COVID-19 vaccines would be available before the postponed Olympics open in July. Bach was speaking from Switzerland in an on-line gathering of officials in Japan during the first of two days of meetings focused on how to pull off the delayed Tokyo Games. Bach pointed out that major sports events like the Tour de France have been held with limited fans and without the vaccine. But he said a vaccine or vaccines could be ready for Tokyo, although he gave few details.

There goes my Herro

The Miami Heat took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Celtics on Wednesday and were led by the youngest player on the floor as 20-year-old Tyler Herro put on a masterful display of shot making. He scored with ease at all three levels, racking up 37 points (14-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) with five triples, six rebounds, three dimes and one turnover in 36 minutes. He closed out the game in style with 17 points alone in the fourth quarter, breaking some records in the process — he broke Dwayne Wade’s rookie playoff record (27 points) and also became the second 20-year-old to score at least 37 in the playoffs alongside Magic Johnson’s record of 42. I don’t think Pat Riley gets enough credit for refusing to tank after LeBron James left as he’s managed to build another powerhouse team that has on...

Peyton Manning takes veiled cheap shot at Patriots during MNF broadcast

Peyton Manning takes veiled cheap shot at Patriots during MNF broadcast originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston It's been four and a half years since Peyton Manning hung up the spikes and retired from the NFL, but he can still sling it. But instead of heaving deep balls to sprinting wide receivers, the former Colts and Broncos quarterback was busy hurling zingers during his appearance during ESPN's Megacast of the Raiders-Saints game on Monday Night Football -- and he saved his harshest burn for his old nemesis, the New England Patriots. During the second quarter of the game while he was talking about on-field communication with hosts Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit as well as Charles Barkley, Manning offered up a savage barb directed squarely at Foxboro. Perry's Report Card: Newton, Pa...

Golf fans were in awe of the beautiful 19th hole at Tiger Woods’ new course

Tiger Woods had a few of his buddies – Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and Justin Rose – over to the new course he designed in Missouri for a special exhibition on Tuesday. While all 18 holes of the course looked pretty incredible, the special 19th hole (which has been dubbed a “bonus” hole) stole the show at the end of the round. The four golfers competed at Payne’s Valley Golf Course (Named in honor of Ozarks native Payne Stewart) at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale. It’s the first public course designed by Tiger Woods. Their matches came down to the 19th hole, which is a stunning par-3. Tiger and JT ended up beating McIlroy and Rose but this hole won the day.
