I chose to quit booze seven months ago following some fairly seismic changes in my personal life. I’d been using (and, let’s face it, probably abusing) alcohol in various forms since the age of 14, and the combined factors of lockdown focusing a magnifying glass on my drinking habits and the aforementioned existential tumult meant that my life’s preferred secret sauce suddenly lost much of its magic. The benefits of abstinence have, predictably, been manifold. My skin is better, I sleep like a baby, my anxiety has drastically diminished, I’ve lost just over a stone (most of it from the notoriously tricky-to-shift area around my stomach), Hokas Shoes and my motivation to exercise regularly, well, exists. One promised benefit which hasn’t materialised, however, is improved solvency, which...

We've all been there. You're running late for your tee time, and you're scurrying to make it on time without being scolded by your municipal course's crabby ranger. Now, imagine being tardy for a Korn Ferry Tour start while also being fresh off a plane – without your clubs. Well, James Nicholas doesn't have to imagine, because that was his reality on Thursday. On May 13, Nicholas was the AdventHealth Championship's 18th alternate. But just five days later, on Wednesday, he received a late-night call that he was now the first alternate for the event in Kansas City, Missouri. Over 1,000 miles away in Westchester County, New York, and unsure whether he'd even get the chance to play, Nicholas scrambled to find the first flight he could. "Why would I go when I know it will take a...

You may not have directly debated this topic but I’m sure in your life you’ve become aware of it. Some people wear shoes in their house others don’t. It’s probably crossed your mind when you’ve visited with a friend or when kids come over to play with your kids. Often the decision about shoe-wearing in the house is cultural, and in the United States, we have a very wide range of shoe-wearing practices. Some people see shoes as bringing dirt into a home, other people are not bothered one way or another, and still, others look at it in terms of contaminants and germs even if they can’t see any dirt. In an informal survey we did among our viewers, 64% always take their shoes off in the house, 21% sometimes do, and 15% leave them on. Their behavior Teva Sandals towards guests is slightly di...

We’re now six weeks into the 2022 season, and the weather is finally starting to warm as we head toward summer. And just like that, some of the game’s most esteemed hitters are heating up, too. Sure, there are a select few who have been raking since Opening Day. But for others, April slumps have brought May thumps -- and batting lines that look more in line with expectations. That’s all reflected in our third edition of the Hitter Power Rankings. Like with our first two polls, this one asked our MLB.com voters to consider a combination of talent, track record, recent performance, compelling storylines and a bit of “fun factor.” The results were split, with five sluggers returning from our last San Francisco 49ers Jerseys  rankings and five making thei...
