You are who you are.” Read John Feinstein on Daniel Snyder and the NFL. March Madness for me is no competition for the real madness that, while overseas this time, seems oh so close.” Read Kevin B.

Phil Mickelson has issued an apology for his comments regarding his involvement with a proposed Saudi-backed golf league.

My intent was never to hurt anyone and I’m so sorry to the people I have negatively impacted. I know I have not been my best and desperately need some time away to prioritize the ones I love most and work on being the man I want to be.” I’ve worked to compete at the highest level, be available to media, represent my sponsors with integrity, engage with volunteers and sign every autograph for my incredible fans. “I have incredible partners, and these relationships mean so much more to me than a contract. There is the problem of off record comments being shared out of context and without my consent, but the bigger issue is that I used words I sincerely regret that do not reflect my true feelings or intentions. “Although it doesn't look this way now given my recent comments, my actions throughout this process have always been with the best interest of golf, my peers, sponsors, and fans.
