Over the hump and safely by to the opposite facet of the week. We’re eight days away from August. Down right here in Florida, which means we’re about a week away from the actual begin of hurricane season.
Technically, it began on June 1. But us Sunshine State vets know the true season goes from about Aug. 1 by October. The Tropics get up when the calendar turns to August. They actually get up round Labor Day.
Once in a whereas, they’re going to keep asleep till a few weeks earlier than Halloween. Those are absolutely the worst.
Anyway, it has been a quiet summer season to this point. Always is. But there are storms coming. This is why we GRIND.

Welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one the place Smokin’ Hot LPGA golfer Charley Hull suffered one of the brutal quadruple bogeys I’ve ever seen throughout this morning’s Scottish Open.
I’d stop.
What else? I’ve bought a Red Sox prospect hitting a tank after which slapping the catcher, USA Today’s Nancy Armor being an absolute lunatic, the Big Js harassing Sophie Cunninghamand might I curiosity anybody in some Angel Reese bikini pics earlier than the All-Star break?
Didn’t suppose so! Too unhealthy.
Grab you some vanilla ice cream for National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, and settle in for a Thursday ‘Cap!
I’m selecting up after my second chip right here
First of all — how nice is my state? Goodness, I’ll by no means go away. The most revolutionary state in America, by a mile. Can’t consider I hadn’t considered that!
Secondly… I did my Mount Rushmore of Ice Cream Flavors final week, so I need not rehash for Vanilla Ice Cream Day. I’ll say, within the pantheon of the “Big Three” ice cream flavors (strawberry, vanilla and chocolate), vanilla is simply — simply — No. 1.
Nobody’s ever mentioned, “I don’t like vanilla ice cream.” It is perhaps boring, nevertheless it will get the job finished in any state of affairs. It’s not going to win any awards, nevertheless it’s at all times going to be within the combine.
And that is your ice cream Ted Talk for the day. You’re welcome!
Now, let’s get this class began with golfer Charley Hull — well-known for ripping cigarettes on the course — grinding by the worst quadruple bogey I’ve ever seen within the UK at present:
Maybe my Red Sox ought to name up this animal
Lordy. The motion on the preliminary putt is simply absurd. That inexperienced ought to be unlawful. And then the three chips failed. Just a brutal gap, and a few brutal situations.
Hell of a quadruple bogey save from Charley, although. I’d’ve already been within the subsequent tee field on the point of rip one to the moon. Good for her.

Speaking of hitting issues to the moon and being annoyed, let’s test in on Boston’s No. 3 prospect, Justin Gonzales, who belted a house run to Virginia final evening, after which promptly ignited a brawl after touching all of them.
What a scene!
Nancy, Angel & the Big Js!
There is SO a lot happening there, I do not even know the place to start.
For starters… what a name by these minor league announcers! I used to be able to run by a brick wall. Electric.
But how concerning the slap from Gonzales? Not a punch. A slap. So degrading. So humiliating. He’s such a massive human (6-5, 260), it is nearly unimaginable to not get in his method.
Finally, Look at the umpire. He makes an attempt to face in the midst of the 2, however rapidly retreats. He could not abandon ship quick sufficient. He was outta there.
That’s what we name a “business decision,” people. I do not blame him. Fight or flight, and he wasn’t gonna win that struggle.

Let’s get Justin Gonzales to Fenway this weekend and begin a new profitable streak! Trade deadline be damned. We have already got our ace within the gap down in South Carolina.
OK, let’s rapid-fire this Thursday class into a huge Thursday evening. First up? The WNBA is an absolute embarrassment, Part 1:
That’s an precise paragraph from unbearable USA Today columnist Nancy Armour’s newest drivel, through which she asserts that Clark’s reactions to missed calls put “Black” and “queer” WNBA gamers “in danger,” primarily blaming her for alleged racist messages despatched by folks she would not know and hasn’t publicly condemned.
What a lunatic. What a nutbag. Here’s my one Nancy Armor story. If you’ve got been on this class for a whereas now, you’ve got in all probability already heard it, so be happy to skip to the following chapter.
At my earlier job at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, I in some way grew to become the sports activities editor for about a 12 months. Incredible, proper?
Anyway, I used to be in control of placing collectively what would seem in our newspaper part the following day (newspapers!), and this was through the terrible COVID period when vaccines have been a large subject.
Nancy spent weeks obsessing over all of the “anti-vax” athletes, and would sometimes write one thing dumb about them. One day, she took goal at Aaron Rodgers (after all), and it appeared in our subsequent day’s paper.
I used to be so irritated and exhausted by her (as was our 80-year-old readership), that I informed the web page designer that I did not need another Nancy Armor in my part. Not one single byline.
Our readers, naturally, have been thrilled. Believe me, I heard from them. It lasted about a week till the higher-ups at USA Today caught wind of it and requested me about it. I informed them how unbearable she was, after which they hemmed and hawed and ultimately mentioned I could not ban her.
That’s how insane they’re over there. That, by the way in which, is why I ended up at OutKick about 5 months later.
Best choice of my life.
OK, story time is OVER! Next? The WNBA is an absolute embarrassment, Part II:
Just hearken to these weirdos. They are FURIOUS with Sophie Cunningham. They cannot consider somebody dare communicate out towards the machine.
“I said what I said. It’s common sense.”
Lordy, they’re smoking proper now. It’s the most effective. Sophie is the most effective. God bless her.
OK, that is it for at present. Good job, everybody. Let’s finish our day by checking in with Angel Reese posting thirst traps to social media regardless that she as soon as famously complained about folks “sexualizing” her.
