With only two weeks left in the 2024 PGA Tour season, the top 50 remaining players in the FedEx Cup standings will head to the mountains this weekend for the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club. There isn't much value to be found in long shots this week due to the limited field, but we can still make some dough on a few higher-priced players entering the second leg of the playoffs in good form. Here are the two long shots we're targeting with outright and finishing position bets for the BMW Championship. Taylor Pendrith (+10000 FanDuel)Pendrith has quietly been playing...

Paint is sooooo 2023. Art in 2024 is all about thousands of tiny pieces of wood. Just ask Kansas City based artist Aaron Norris. Norris graced these pages last year when he completed a portrait of Tiger Woods made entirely out of golf tees. We didn’t think he could top that feat, but that was before we saw his latest Tiger tribute, crafted from 30,000 tiny blocks of wood. Feast your eyes.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Whether it's U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau or a 25-handicapper who can't carry the ball 200 yards, you'll never hear any golfer ever say they don't want more distance. Even when you're striping it off the tee, there's still that little voice in your head wondering, can I hit it even farther?

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
