Las Vegas - It might be 113 degrees and BOILING in Vegas, but up at Tahoe, it's gonna be around 78/80 with a little breeze off the lake when they tee off at 10:00 AM. That'll be perfect for the American Century Championship. You'll be able to find odds on all the players. Tony Romo is the favorite at 3/2, followed by Mardy Fish at 2/1, Mark Mulder at 4/1, with John Smoltz and Annika Sorenstam at 8/1.

Las Vegas - Thinking the Suns will shine again, but the final score will be much tighter. After checking out the box score in game one, gotta tell you that Phoenix's starting five have more pop than Milwaukee's group. Lets throw out Jae Crowder (1 point) and P.J. Tucker (7 points), and look at the other four starters. For the Suns, Chris Paul bombed 32 points in the opener, Devin Booker had 27, Deandre Ayton 22 and Mikal Bridges 14. My calculator tells me that adds up to 95 points.

Las Vegas - Gotta take you over to Wembley Stadium for a pick on the England/Denmark Euro 2020 semi-final. The story and emotional tug of the Danes is hard to look away from. If you're not familiar, they lost one of their best players, Christian Eriksen, when he collapsed on the field in Copenhagen in the first half of Denmark's game against Finland on June 12. CPR was administered and his heart was restarted with a defibrillator as players shielded the medics.

Las Vegas - Phil and TB12 vs. DeChambeau and Mr. Discount Double Check. If you like the brainiacs, Aaron Rodgers and the Scientist, you'll have to lay $180 to win back $100. If you want a taste of Lefty and the Brady Bunch, you'll put up $100 and get back $160. Of course there is an array of props, including will there be a hole-in-one, will there be an eagle, will they go to a playoff. The only prop that is gonna get my cash is, will DeChambeau hit a drive 450 yards or longer?

Las Vegas - Gotta start reading my stuff. In my writeup for the last Stanley Cup game on Friday, I said, 'Obviously, the Lightning are the superior team, by a bunch.' Then like a big dope, I open my wallet and tickle the Canadiens. Not tonight. Gonna get my broom out and watch Tampa sweep Montreal on to the golf course. But the wager is just, instead of Bud Light, it's Benj Light!
