“Treehouse. I was building a treehouse for my kids. I was building the roof and fell off,” Smith explained Sunday. “I fell, like, 20 feet, shattered the wrist. But I’ll be all right. I still have one good arm to hold my wife with.”Head coach Matt LaFleur suggested Smith stop with the do-it-yourself projects — “Matt’s telling me I need to hire people,” Smith said, “(but) I’m like, ‘Hell, no. I’ll do it myself’” — and Smith may want to consider heeding his boss’ advice. Not only did he dislocate his wrist, he also suffered ligament, nerve and tendon damage…
If you ask 100 sports fans, Family Fued–style, what they remember about the Rio Olympics in 2016, I don’t think you’d get very far down the board before arriving at the fact that the pools turned green.

Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma have each finished in the AP top 10 for at least six straight years (Bama is at 13 straight) and have hogged 20 of 28 College Football Playoff bids. Plus, Georgia is at four straight top-10 finishes, and Notre Dame has been to two of the past three CFPs. We have a clear idea of who is in this sport’s on-field ruling class.Beneath the surface, however, it remains as chaotic as…

For South Korean Kim Si Woo, Sunday was just one of those moments where it went from bad to much, much worse. On the par-three 11th hole at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational, Kim hit five consecutive shots into the water hazard, eventually finishing with a 10-over par 13. From his initial tee shot on the 155-yard hole at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Kim put his ball in the water to the right of the green.
