LPGA stuff

- Ryu So-yeon defending champion in controversial circumstance; Lexi Thompson got penalized (4 shots) after a TV viewer called in an infraction
- Ryu out to prove she wasn't just the lucky winner, Thompson determined to win this one as well>

National football team friendlies in Europe
- Gotta figure out what to do with Son Heung-min and how to get the best out of this talent. Where does he belong on the pitch? Who should he play with?
- Better off in a two-forward system, with a partner who can do some dirty work, play decoy and create space for Son
- Defense will have hands full against Germany, etc. The worst team in the World Cup, maybe?

Fantasy rants / smack talk as NBA playoffs and MLB gets into gear
- Combination of regular season victories by Dodgers+Clippers and Blue Jays+Raptors. Who will come out higher??
