The field was released today for the PGA Championship. Thomas Detry and Steve Stricker will be teeing off next Thursday (5/17) at Valhalla in Louisville, KY. PGA Championship Field No Illini qualified for this weekend's Wells Fargo Championship. Hardy and ADC will be in the concurrent event at...

I re-read the new kickoff rule (still struggling to understand it), but it looks like kick placement is going to be critical: - Kicks that hit the ground or are fielded between the end zone and the 20 yard line must either be returned or downed for a touchback (if they roll into the end zone) -...

After a slow start, Detry/MacIntyre have birdied 4 of 5 to pull to within 2 of the lead, 5 holes to play. Coverage on CBS

Randolph might have an opportunity to earn a roster spot, as the Bears DL definitely lacks depth. Tarique Barnes joins Jake Hansen in Houston. He might shine as a special teams guy.

I wonder if they believe Dexter and Pickens will continue to improve; they did show flashes of solid play in December. Still they definitely need depth, maybe they'll trade back into this draft in the 5th or 6th round. Or go after some free agents later on.

Currently in 4th, holding steady with pars while the others get bogies. The leaderboard looks like a high school tournament!

Hardy/Riley had four birdies on the back nine yesterday, including one on 18, to make the cut on the number. Not they sit three strokes back after a solid 65 in fourball. Detry/MacIntyre looking to surge as well. ADDC and Strick missed the cut.

I wonder if the new kickoff rule played into this pick. Given the supposed talent dropoff, in the later rounds, I don't mind this pick at all.

Reiman joins Adams on the Cardinals

I checked some of the 2nd round mock drafts that came out today. Landing sports for Johnny: Dane Brugler, The Athletic: #38 - Titans Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports: #49 - Bengals Matt Verderame, SI: #36 - Commanders Lance Zierlein, NFL: #38 - Titans Eric Froton, NBC Sports: #42 - Texans John...

The Bears have a first round and two second round picks in the 2025 draft. If they want to get into this year's second round, they definitely have the means to do so. How about this trade, which would probably work as far as draft pick value: Bears - 2025 1st round pick for Some other team in...

After the afternoon teams finished, Detry dropped to T5 (still one back), Hardy and Strick dropped down to T44 and ADdC to T60. This puts everyone except Detry outside the cut (top 33 and ties), setting up a good test on alternate shot day. Might be good news for Hardy/Riley, since they crushed...

I think there is definite appeal to it being the only PGA Tour event that plays like the first two days of a Ryder Cup. Which is great for the event and the fans. You got me thinking about the odds, so I looked it up: four teams have odds better than 25/1: Cantlay/Schauffele 9/2 McIlroy/Lowry...

My guess is they trade back 7-10 spots, pick up a second rounder, then draft an OT. Seems like that's the biggest need and pick that will have the most immediate impact. That would also allow them to grab a receiver in round 2. The Bears only have 4 picks in this draft (2 first rounders, a...

Zurich Classic starts Thursday in New Orleans. This is the PGA Tour's lone team event; here are the Illini in the field: Nick Hardy - Davis Riley (defending champs) Thomas Detry - Robert MacIntyre Adrien Dumont de Chassart - Jimmy Stanger Steve Stricker - Matt Kuchar Also, with a -7 in the...
