A player at the NFA 7v7 East Regional held at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this weekend set up a made-for-social trash-talking moment with the

Michelle Wie said it was “unsettling” to hear Rudy Giuliani tell a crude story about looking up Wie’s skirt as the two golfed at a charity event.

For a stretch there, you couldn’t blame the lonely hearts of America for longing to find someone to love them the way the Philadelphia Eagles loved Carson Wentz. At least until they no longer did.
