Olajuwon interested in pursuing ownership stake in Rockets Former Houston Rockets great Hakeem Olajuwon is reportedly being pursued by groups interested in purchasing the team and has some interest in becoming a partial owner. “Many groups now have called me and want me involved,” Olajuwon said Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s Mark Woods. “With two of the groups, I’m doing my background check to see if that is a possibility. Just an association would be great. I’m still with the organization now. I have a contract with the Rockets, not to be in an ownership position. But if the opportunity opens itself, it will be something great.

Garrett shares his thoughts on national anthem protests Multiple NFL players have already chosen to protest during the playing of the national anthem before preseason games, and you can add Jason Garrett to the list of head coaches who do not want to see their guys taking part in the demonstrations. Garrett made his feelings clear when asked about national anthem protests on Tuesday.Jason Garrett: 'There's no question in my mind the National Anthem is sacred, the flag is sacred and our team has demonstrated that. Whether it's playing for the flag in Iowa or playing for a job in North Carolina, the stakes are high this week in golf.
Whether it's playing for the flag in Iowa or playing for a job in North Carolina, the stakes are high this week in golf. The Americans staged a remarkable rally to win on European soil (Germany). The inspiration came from a debate whether Suzann Pettersen of Sweden should have been clearer with words and actions on conceding a short putt, and whether Alison Lee should learn not to pick up a golf ball unless she hears the opponent tell her.
Odds of repeat decreased because Lee didn't make the team and Pettersen withdrew this week with an injury. But it's the Solheim Cup. It's rarely played without some acrimony. The greatest pressure at the Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour might not be near the top of the leaderboard.
This is the final event before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin, and the math is pretty simple. The top 125 in the standings after this week advance to the playoffs and have full PGA Tour status for next season. Meet the Southern, African American artist who paints the Confederate flag 'I make it a tattered and worn relic of the past that should be in a museum and yet we see it flying around as if the war is going on,' Leo Twiggs saidCHARLESTON, Va. Leo Twiggs, a son of the South, sees life as a series of crossings. That's why the 83-year-old artist has spent four decades painting a recurring symbol: The Confederate flag.
He has finished hundreds of them. He says he paints the Confederate flag as a symbol because he thinks 'the South is full of contradictions. We've got Southern hospitality and then we have segregation, and they seem at opposite ends.

Amateur champion if Whether it's playing for the flag in Iowa or playing for a job in North Carolina, the stakes are high this week in golf. Jessica Korda pulled out right after she qualified for the team and was replaced by Paula Creamer, who had been left off for the first time since she was a teenage rookie in 2005. That's a big deal for Geoff Ogilvy at No. 125, especially because he used a one-time exemption from top 50 in career earnings to have full status this year.
Everyone from No. 120 through No. 128 is in the same predicament. Also at stake this week: A spot in three majors for the U.S. Amateur champion if he chooses to stay an amateur. The majors are over. The pressure is not.
SOLHEIM CUP The Solheim Cup dates to 1990 and there has never been a player who had to withdraw because of injury. Now there are two of them. Jessica Korda pulled out right after she qualified for the team and was replaced by Paula Creamer, who had been left off for the first time since she was a teenage rookie in 2005. Then, Pettersen pulled out and was replaced by Catriona Matthew of Scotland, an assistant to European captain Annika Sorenstam. But these matches, which start Friday at Des Moines Golf and Country Club, are about teams of 12 more than any one player. Taney's statue removed from Maryland State House ground A statue of the of the U.S. Supreme Court justice who wrote the Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery and denied citizenship to African-Americans has been removed from the grounds of the Maryland State House.
The statue of Roger B. Taney was lifted away by a crane at about 2 a.m. It was lowered into a truck and driven away.A panel voted by email Wednesday to remove the statue, which was erected in 1872.House Speaker Michael Busch, who voted for removal, wrote this week that the statue “doesn’t belong” on the grounds. His comments came after the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.

Whether it's playing for the flag in Iowa or playing for a job in North Carolina, the stakes are high this week in golf. So I think it qualifies as one of the greatest rounds of golf ever played (joking).
But almost every year, the Masters provides more thrills as a sports fan for me than pretty much any other If anything, the biggest stars are the captains. Juli Inkster already is 1 up over Annika Sorenstam in head-to-head competition. Inkster rallied to beat Sorenstam in 2002 to capture the U.S. Women's Open at Prairie Dunes. Inkster won't hit a shot this week, though she can join Judy Rankin (1996, 1998) as the only captain of two straight Solheim Cup teams.
Only three of the top 15 in the world are in Iowa — Lexi Thompson (2), Anna Nordqvist of Sweden (13) and Cristie Kerr (14). Creamer, checks in at No.
This is nothing new. It dates to the days of Se Ri Pak of South Korea and Karrie Webb of Australia.
It also doesn't matter. There's something about the pride of playing for a flag.
Even if Gerina Piller had an LPGA Tour victory, barring a major it wouldn't be enough to replace that memory of her holing the most crucial putt in Germany at the last Solheim Cup. Television: Friday, 9 a.m. To 2 p.m., 4-7 p.m. (Golf Channel); Saturday, 8 a.m. (Golf Channel), 4-6 p.m.

WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP Sedgefield Country Club is the last chance for a lot of players for a variety of different goals.

'I've played a long time,' Peyton said on ESPN Tuesday. 'I'm grateful for the time I've played so far. The speculation comes at a tender time for the tight-knit Manning brothers.

Games between Manchester United and Liverpool are played for high stakes and there is plenty riding on today's confrontation at Old Trafford. Kevin Kisner, the 54-hole leader at the PGA Championship, says it's a course that gives him a great chance to win. Henrik Stenson wants to improve his standing in the FedEx Cup, but mostly the Swede wants to be sure he finishes the season with at least the minimum 15 tournaments required for membership. The winners get to start the new year in Kapalua and go to the Masters in April.
That's no different from most other PGA Tour events. At the Wyndham Championship, the focus is as much on the FedEx Cup standings as the leaderboard. The best example of what can go wrong was three years ago, when Heath Slocum had a chance to win and instead three-putted for bogey, costing him a spot in the playoff and his PGA Tour card. There are various levels of pressure — the top 125 in the final FedEx Cup standings advance to the playoffs, the top 150 have conditional status next season and the top 200 can go to the Web.com Tour Finals to try to earn their card back.

The course will look familiar — Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, where Dustin Johnson won in February to reach No. 1 in the world. He played the U.S. Amateur twice and never got beyond the second round. The winner and runner-up get into the Masters and U.S. Open next year (as long as they stay amateur), and the winner also gets into the British Open.

In an interview with WISH-TV of Indianapolis, Manning said he’s enjoying watching his kids participate in the sport but also expressed hesitation about the team’s playbook.“The coach asked me to be an assistant coach, and I said, ‘Coach, I have to tell you, I have been watching your team play in practice and we don’t have any pass plays out there.

The players drove into this hilly town in batches. With no time for preparation, they go into the match on Sunday with hope that they can use this opportunity and make the most of the Deodhar Trophy tournament so poorly scheduled. The India-A and India-B teams feature in the opening game, which is likely to be affected by rain.
The wet outfield on Saturday did not auger well for the tournament where some players must be looking to make an impact in the presence of two National selectors. Exciting As India-A coach Paras Mhambrey said, “some of the players are pretty excited. The selection for this tournament is a reward for their performances in the season and I see some of them have the potential to go ahead. For them it is like carrying on from the last game.” The emphasis obviously would be on maintaining the consistency that has brought them thus far.
India-B coach Abhay Sharma noted, “The players have a lot to gain if they can use this opportunity and push their cases. The IPL (Indian Premier League) is not far away and they can prepare for it with decent performances here. It will be the icing on the cake if they leave this place as champions.” Most of the names are well known. For Unmukt Chand and Kulwant Khejroliya, both from Delhi, it is a stage they can drive strength from. Prithvi Shaw is expected to excel. Shubman Gill is another youngster, along with the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan, who can back himself to play in the next grade. Hyderabad batsman Rohit Rayudu, Kerala fast bowler Basil Thampi, Maharashtra opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, Bengal star Abhimanyu Easwaran and Andhra strokeplayer Hanuma Vihari have been picked with an eye on the future, They have specific roles assigned and need to be at their best.
Fast bowlers Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami can test themselves ahead of the IPL. Delhi seamer Navdeep Saini continues his impressive march and a decent show here would boost his claims, Test off-spinner Jayant Yadav, recovering from an injury, will want to shed off his rustiness and look for a comeback to the national team. The timing of the tournament may not be ideal but Abhay observed there is plenty at stake. “Playing a match without practice may be a challenge for the players but they are professionals. Modern cricket is about adaptability and I expect them to adjust,” said Abhay. Mhambrey agreed, “We have a fair idea of the players. This tournament helps them understand each other better.
It is about gaining and learning.”.
