Scottie Scheffler gets hilarious Wikipedia update after latest win

Scottie Scheffler's incredible dominance of the golf world continued on Sunday, and his Wikipedia page was appropriately updated for a brief period following the latest victory.

For the second consecutive year, Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. He became the first player to successfully defend his title at Jack Nickalus' event since Tiger Woods won it three straight years from 1999-2001.

Scheffler beat second-place finisher Ben Griffin by four strokes with a total score of 10-under. Someone then updated Scheffler's Wikipedia page and made his name Scottie "Himothy" Scheffler.

The factually inaccurate update was quickly corrected, but even the official X account of the PGA Tour got a kick out of it.

Scheffler has been atop the Official World Golf Ranking for more than two years straight now. He has three wins in his last four starts, including when he captured the third major victory of his career at the PGA Championship two weeks ago.

There are a lot of nicknames that would be appropriate for Scheffler. The 28-year-old now has 16 wins on the PGA Tour and looks as dialed in as ever.

Scheffler is a heavy favorite to win his fourth major at the 2025 U.S. Open in two weeks, and it would be unwise to bet against him.

Buffalo Bills receive devastating news on injured rookie CB

Not the news Buffalo Bills fans wanted to hear. Head Coach Sean McDermott delivered a troubling update on Dorian Strong during a Tuesday afternoon press conference, pointing toward a long-term absence for the Bills’ rookie cornerback. The sixth-round pick has been dealing with a neck injury which led to his placement on Injured Reserve on Oct. 4, and entering Week 10, McDermott says that Strong has not received an encouraging update regarding his ailment. “I do have some more clarity, it’s not good in terms of the reports and everything,” said McDermott. “I don’t want to get into where it may go. It’s not moving in the direction we would like it to at this point. I’ll stop there just out of respect for Dorian.” Strong was selected by the Bills with the 177th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and went on to earn the start in the first game of his NFL career in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens in place of injured veteran Tre’Davious White. Strong played in each of the Bills’ first four games of the season, but was injured before Buffalo’s Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots and it now appears he has been lost for the year. The next question is, will this injury impact his career? Neck injuries are tricky and often dealt with conservatively. “He and I have had some conversations over the last few days and I wish the reports were better at this point,” added McDermott. Strong recorded 10 tackles during four games in his first professional season. — Sign up for OnSI’s Free Buffalo Bills Newsletter —

Intriguing reunion on table for Steelers with trade deadline nearing

Intriguing reunion on table for Steelers with trade deadline nearing

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team that is looking to solidify itself as a competitor in the AFC for the 2025 season, and the franchise should be looking to make some moves around the trade deadline. The organization already brought in safety Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots, and he made an immediate impact in a win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Steelers could use some help on the offensive side of the ball as well, but more additions could be made to shore up the defense as well. There is some positional uncertainty at safety for the Steelers as well as a bunch of injuries. The position has changed a ton throughout the season, and the Steelers could certainly use some more depth in the area. Unfortunately, Minkah Fitzpatrick would only be an option if he were to be cut as Pittsburgh cannot trade for him within two years of trading him away. However, his former running mate, Damontae Kazee, is a potential option for the Steelers after he was released by the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Kazee is a veteran with a good amount of experience, and he could certainly sign with Pittsburgh if the front office wants him to return to the black and gold. However, there are other safety-needy teams throughout the league as well. The coaching staff in the Steel City understands and appreciates familiar voices on the roster, and Kazee could provide decent depth while also being familiar with the defense and everyone in the building. Juan Thornhill and Chuck Clark have been other contributors at safety for the Steelers in 2025, but there is a real chance that Kazee might be a better option than either of those players. Both Thornhill and Clark have seemed to be at the center of communication issues in the secondary, and whenever there is an obvious coverage bust, Clark seems to always be one of the players closest to it. Kazee signed with the Browns during the 2025 offseason, and he had only played in four games through the first nine weeks of the season. He had been on the field for just 11 defensive snaps, as he seemed to be more of a special teamer in Cleveland. Despite the reduced role in 2025, he could provide some value to Pittsburgh, even if he is just signed to the practice squad. The fan base in Pittsburgh might not have always loved Kazee, but he played a lot of football for the Steelers throughout the three seasons he spent with the team. At the very least, he provides depth for Pittsburgh at a position of need, and he wouldn't be expensive to sign. This is the type of signing the Steelers would make, and it completely makes sense to do so. Pittsburgh Steelers have found a successful safety combination Ahead of Pittsburgh's game on Sunday against the Colts, it was announced that cornerback Jalen Ramsey would be playing exclusively free safety. He had been playing some safety throughout the year depending on what the opposing offense was doing, but on Sunday, he did not leave the position. It was Ramsey and Dugger leading the way in the defensive backfield, and the duo had a pretty good day. It will be interesting to see if that is something the Steelers continue to use in the coming weeks, but it probably should be since it was so effective against the best offense in the NFL.

Why the Phillies could ditch Alec Bohm and target Rays star Junior Caminero

Why the Phillies could ditch Alec Bohm and target Rays star Junior Caminero

Entering the offseason, the Philadelphia Phillies must shake things up after running mostly the same roster back for three consecutive years and suffering three straight exits short of the World Series. But Philadelphia seems more likely to make a trade than sign a big-name free agent this offseason. First baseman Bryce Harper ($27.5M in 2026, per Spotrac), SS Trea Turner ($27.3M) and RHPs Zack Wheeler ($42M) and Aaron Nola ($24.6M) take up a huge amount of the payroll, so the Phillies may seek cost-effective options in the trade market. Could 22-year-old Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero be an option for the Phillies? Phillies are likely to trade All-Star Alec Bohm this offseason For the past couple of offseasons, Philadelphia has been rumored to be in the market to trade 2024 All-Star third baseman Bohm, who is coming off a down power season (11 HR, 49 RBI). With one year left on his deal before he becomes a free agent, Bohm probably will be jettisoned by the Phillies, who are projected by Spotrac to offer him $10.25M in arbitration. Philadelphia could better use that money to re-sign designated hitter Kyle Schwarber or catcher J.T. Realmuto. Bohm batted .287 in 120 games last season but could benefit from a change of scenery to get him back on track to where he was in 2024 (97 RBI and 44 doubles). Phillies, Rays could make a deal With Bohm unlikely to be on the Opening Day roster, Philadelphia probably will find another option. Pending free agent Alex Bregman (18 HR, .273 BA) may not return to the Boston Red Sox. He's a fit for the Phillies, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. But Bregman would command a high salary, as would Seattle's Eugenio Suárez, who also is a pending free agent. Feinsand listed the Angels, Mariners and Pirates as fits for the 34-year-old, who had 49 homers and a .228 batting average last season. Debuting at 19 in 2023, Caminero was an injury replacement All-Star in 2025 and would fit in perfectly with the Phillies. He could be the cleanup hitter the team has lacked and provide needed protection for Harper. Caminero — who is set to make $820,000 in 2026, according to Spotrac — has plenty of power (45 HR, sixth in big leagues in 2025) and hit for a decent average, .264, last season. “There's no denying his talent, and what he can cover in and off the plate away is just amazing to me," Rays manager Kevin Cash said of Caminero, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com. Acquiring Caminero would likely cost the Phillies one or two of their top prospects and a big-league player. The Phillies have the prospect capital and major league talent to get a deal like this done — if they’re willing to pull the trigger.

Eagles-Saints Trade Speculation Doesn't Make Sense

The Philadelphia Eagles have already pulled off three trades ahead of the National Football League trade deadline over the last week with time for more. The trade deadline is one of the most interesting times of the year because there is endless speculation out there and mock trades as well. Some make perfect sense. Others, not so much. For example, Yahoo Sports senior writer Frank Schwab made a list of eight mock deals he wants to see. One involved the Eagles getting cornerback Alontae Taylor from the New Orleans Saints. "CB Alontae Taylor to Eagles," Schwab said. "The Eagles made a move to help their pass rush, but cornerback depth is still an issue. They acquired cornerback Jaire Alexander in a low-cost move, but there's a reason the Ravens were willing to move him. Cornerback Michael Carter was added too but the Eagles should be aiming higher. Taylor would fit in well, and he has been rumored to be possibly on the move with the Saints season continuing to get worse." This type of deal doesn't make sense for Philadelphia The Eagles' cornerback room was a big question, but after the additions of Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II, that no longer is the case. The Eagles have Cooper DeJean, who they could move to the outside if they really wanted to, although that doesn't seem likely after the additions at this moment. Vic Fangio recently talked about the idea and sounded hesitant even before the trades. But, still, DeJean is there along with Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo. The Eagles have the draft capital to get a deal done if they really wanted to and Taylor is a talented player, but at this point, cornerback isn't an issue for the team any longer. The Eagles addressed the pass rush too. With time running out before Tuesday's deadline, the Eagles don't need to do anything splashy any longer. If the Eagles are still looking, the next thing that would make sense is adding another depth offensive lineman. Injuries have been a problem this season, so preemptively adding someone could be a nice luxury. But, the Eagles' roster -- at least on paper -- looks ready for the stretch run and doesn't need a third corner before the deadline.
