Weekend winners
Tommy Fleetwood. Yes, winning a major would be a great first win on the PGA Tour (you know what I mean, Spy), but Fleetwood ended the “best player on the PGA Tour without a W” narrative in style with a great weekend at East Lake at the Tour Championship. Also, winning $10 million bucks is pretty excellent, too. And can you not help but root for a world-class golfer who also looks like he could be at your front-door on a random Wednesday wanting to give you a quote about replacing your aging roof?
Whoever broke the record for the most expensive sports card ever bought. Someone paid $12.932 million Sunday for a one-of-a-kind card with MJ and Kobe on it. Yes, each autographed it, and it came with pieces of game-worn jerseys from each, but if you can toss around $13 million for sports memorabilia, well, visor tip. Forget winning the weekend, that’s winning life, right Spy?
Cal Raleigh. The Mariners MVP candidate now holds the record for the most home runs by a full-time catcher with 49, and with more than a month left in the season the record for a switch hitter (Mickey Mantle’s 54 homers) is within reach. Cal Raleigh being part of the 60-homer club was not on my 2025 MLB bingo card.
Jaxson Dart. Dude looks the part of being ready for the moment as a rookie QB1 with the Giants. Good for him.
