Bill Belichick explains how an NFL policy is creating poor play at a position that many think is plaguing the league
Through two weeks of the NFL season, scoring is down from recent years and many have found the on-field product to be less-than-intriguing. On Wednesday, Bill Belichick was asked for his thoughts on the poor offensive line play around the league, and he argued that it's the result of the NFL's practice policy. Belichick said the lack of padded practices creates bad habits from offensive lineman who can't properly practice techniques and then execute them in games.

NBA adds 'Harden Rule' and 'Zaza Rule' for players' safety
NBA referees will be able to call flagrant or technical fouls on defenders who dangerously close on jump shooters without allowing them space to land, as Zaza Pachulia did on the play that injured Spurs star Kawhi Leonard in last season's playoffs. Officials will also make sure jump shooters are in their upward shooting motion when determining if a perimeter foul is worthy of free throws, which could cut down on James Harden's attempts after he swings his arms into contact. The new rules interpretations are being unofficially called the "Harden Rule" and the "Zaza Rule". The Washington Wizards accused the Celtics' Al Horford of a dangerous closeout on Markieff Morris that injured Morris and knocked him out of Game 1 of their playoff series two weeks before the Pachulia-Leonard play.

According to Woods, he is chipping and putting everyday, but he is still not taking full swings and he still can't hit the ball farther than 60 yards. "I’m starting to hit the ball a little further – 60-yard shots," Woods wrote.
