The Australian golfer, known as The Shark, appeared on ESPN’s “Pardon The Interruption” Wednesday to discuss Woods, among other topics. Norman, who’s also serving as a color commentator for FOX this weekend, was very critical of Woods when talking about his recent performances.

If the SEC scheduling isn’t broke, there’s no need to fix it. After all, the conference has put two teams in the championship game twice in the last seven seasons — Alabama vs. LSU in 2011 and Alabama vs. Georgia in 2017 — and has competed in 11 of the last 12 championship games, winning nine in that stretch. “Stated succinctly,” Sankey said, “What we do works at both the national championship level and at a level that provides our team’s meaningful access to post-season bowl opportunities....

What a season it was. Despite the 34-48 record, San Antonio took big steps as a franchise ushering in a new era. Dejounte Murray made the All-Star leap with averages of 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, Keldon Johnson grew into his role as the team’s No. 2 and Jakob Poeltl cemented his status as one of the league’s most solid defensive bigs. With 30-year-old Doug McDermott as the team’s oldest player, the Spurs have an extremely young roster, many of whom were granted the invaluable opportunity to contribute to winning basketball and play on a postseason stage....

Gonzalo Martinez’s 95th-minute penalty at Arena do Gremio saw River move into the Libertadores final for the second time in four years. He had earlier set up Rafael Santos Borre’s equaliser to cancel out Leo Gomes’ first-half strike in the semi-final second leg, River advancing on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw. Gremio substitute Bressan was sent off in the final moments after his handball led to Martinez’s winning spot-kick....

Carolina Portaluppi, a 22-year old student and model who is a long-time Gremio fan, sat with her father Renato Gaucho on the bench for the final moments of the win over Cruzeiro and then joined in the celebrations on the pitch afterwards. Brazil’s Superior Court of Sporting Justice (STJD) also fined the Porto Alegre club 30,000 reais ($8,692) and threatened to take further action against the coach. “Gremio were punished this afternoon, Nov 16, for Carol Portaluppi’s pitch invasion after the Brazilian Cup semi-final match between Gremio and Cruzeiro,” the court said in a statement....

For Blake Griffin and the Detroit Pistons, though, Wednesday night’s victory felt like a big deal. After losing nine of 11, the Pistons went on a 23-2 run to start the second half and held on to beat Washington 106-95. “That game was pretty close to a must win, just for the sake of our morale and righting the ship,” Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. “We came out with focus and energy in the third quarter, and that meant we weren’t fighting from behind down the stretch....

Appearing before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee Tuesday, CEOs for Kroger—the nation’s largest grocery store conglomerate—and Albertsons, the nation’s second-largest, sought to assure lawmakers their companies’ pending merger would result in no layoffs for frontline workers. They said a potential merger would lead to reduced prices and increased competition as they seek to maintain pace with larger retailers like Walmart. “Our merger is a win for customers, a win for associates and a win for American competition,” Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen told lawmakers....

Of course, the strike matters to GM, its dealers and suppliers, and its workers. CNBC suggested the strike could cost GM $100 million per day, and that production in Canada and Mexico would be impacted by the weekend. But in the grand scheme of things, the latest installment of the UAW-GM battle has the makings of this fall’s football game between Army and Navy—a match between two ancient powers whose rivalry once dominated the headlines but who now play a largely symbolic role....

I started my career developing technology in the oil and gas arena for the purposes of distributing and licensing cutting-edge products. I was lucky enough to find partners to assist me and found tremendous success early in the game. But after three significant wins right out of college, I later had a hard time managing economic fluctuations and evolving markets and navigating debt capital markets to find a place of sustainability that wouldn’t hamper growth....

The first crack in this Great Wall of Secrecy appeared last week. It came from, of all places, a tourist agency. Chinese authorities informed Inner Mongolia’s Alashan Tourist Company, which has for years organized launchpad tours for Chinese citizens, that it could take tourists to watch the next spacecraft, the Shenzhou V, ferry the first Chinese astronaut into space. “We’re so excited,” says manager Yang Chengzhang. “The tourists will be only a few hundred meters away from the Shenzhou V site on launch day....

The shark captured in the footage—which was taken by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Instituto Oceanográfico de Moçambique—has been matched as the same individual previously observed swimming off Struisbaai, in South Africa, in May 2022. Scientists confirmed that this young shark had traveled a total of 1,100 miles along the African coast. They were able to match the shark to previous records based on its distinct facial scars and matching fin coloration....

The sailboat was laden with dozens of migrants but went down when it struck rocks, authorities said Thursday. The coast guard said four bodies were found in the water around a rocky islet near the island of Antikythera, about 145 miles south of Athens, after the accident. It was the second deadly incident in as many days. On Tuesday night, a boat that sank near the island of Folegandros was experiencing engine failure and started taking on water....

That is indeed a problem. Strongman Kim Jong Il still trumpets juche, or self-reliance, an ideal that has transformed North Korea from a socialist industrial power into a famine-ravaged outlaw nation. This commitment to juche has condemned his country to a lot of pain. North Koreans today must scrape together a living in part by peddling scrap metal, passing counterfeit money and pushing drugs. Last year their government had to accept nearly $1 billion in food aid, and life is not getting better....

The 18-year-old has withdrawn from Aidy Boothroyd’s group because of a back problem and will remain with United during the international break. Wolves’ Morgan Gibbs-White (back) and Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson (knee) have also pulled out of the England U-21 squad, with Swansea City’s Sam Surridge and Ben Wilmot called up in their stead. Greenwood, who came on as a substitute in Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Newcastle United, will now begin a battle to be fit for the visit of Liverpool on October 20....
