Don’t let the sheer amount of games in the schedule fool you. If you take away the Tour de France, it’s a bleak week for sports. The British Open is there to ease us into the hardest part of the summer, when baseball is really the only remaining major sport. Monday night is one of the few nights of the year when none of the big four have a game scheduled. With the World Cup done (wither Oranje!!), it’s time to start looking for alternate entertainment means, especially if you’re team isn’t in the chase for a playoff berth.
SPOTLIGHT
Sunday ABC has the final round of the British Open (The Swilken Bridge on the 18th pictured) at St. Andrews.
