    • One Thing to Know: Haslam is Nixon or Mr. Magoo

      Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Browns and founder of Pilot Flying J, maintains that he had nothing to do with the customer rebate scandal that has rocked the travel center company. More executives, however, have recently agreed to cooperate with a federal investigation, meaning that it will soon make its way to the top of the organization.

      Mike Florio says the fraud at the company was so widespread that Haslam was either totally oblivious or willfully blind.

    • David Beckham made a career of kicking soccer balls accurately, so who's to say he can't do the same with a ball that's a different shape?

      Reports say that an NFL team has reached out to the recently-retired Beckham regarding a tryout, and Michelle Beadle thinks it would be a very interesting experiment. He has enormous commercial appeal and -- come on -- who wouldn't want to see David Beckham get tackled?

    • US Open: Merion reduces world’s best to mere mortals

      The group that showed up at Merion Golf Club this weekend was comprised of the greatest players in the world, but their play on the difficult layout could have fooled you. In classic U.S. Open fashion, the course presented brutal tee shots, speedy putts and impossible lies.

By the end of the weekend, the real champion proved to be the course. Here's a look at the best of (or maybe worst of) Merion.

    • Reprising their role as reality TV stars, the Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to star on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” for the second time since 2009. Mike Florio finds it odd a team with playoff aspirations would let cameras into the locker room, and doesn’t believe the gains outweigh the distraction.
