Let me be clear and say that I absolutely love golf. I love playing golf, I love watching golf and I love golf content in general.

But the game of golf has made being a fan of golf and watching golf a hard thing to do.

It’s not Jayden Daniels’ mobility that makes Washington dangerous for Detroit.

This game is all about how the Lions defend another scrambling QB in Jayden Daniels. To keep it quite simple, Jayden Daniels IS the engine that keeps the Commanders’ offense going.

Adam Scott on using Severance’s weird, retrofuturistic computers

Image: Apple

Much of Severance — the sci-fi workplace thriller on Apple TV Plus — takes place in a brightly lit office, with characters huddled over strange computers where they do work they’re told is both mysterious and important.
