As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring. Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have. And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped. Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

Your regularly scheduled look at these absolute maniacs lined up outside Arrowhead more than 6 hours before kickoff, waiting so they can sit in the parking lot and then sit in the outdoor stadium. Built different. (It is 7 degrees with a feels-like temp of minus-2.)

No “scoreboard watching” in Carolina: With Bucs-Dolphins game impacting Carolina’s divisional fate, Dave Canalas doesn’t want his team’s focus elsewhere. So every score from around the NFL is being shown in the corners of the endzone… except for one. TB-MIA is notably omitted.

Eight hours before the Chiefs and the Eagles kickoff. Four hours before the parking lots officially open. Here’s the line outside Arrowhead Stadium waiting to get in… the pre-pre-party. My guys at the front of the line brushing their teeth on the side or the road. 😂

I’ve seen a lot of opposing fan bases make noise for their team after a win — but the Lions might’ve topped them all today. Or as Jared Goff said to me as he left the field, “Are you seeing this? Best fans in the f***ing league!” This video is well after the game ended…
