AUGUSTA, Ga. – With the 82nd Masters Tournament at the halfway point, here are two bet-the-farm predictions for the weekend: 1) There will be no surprise winner, no Danny Willett emerging from the rank-and-file to don a green jacket.

Ex-Patriots player explains why Bill Belichick can be so frustrating to play forEx-Patriots player explains why Bill Belichick can be so frustrating to play for
We are now officially in Week 9 of the “Rob Gronkowski Retirement Watch” and after just over two months, there’s still been no word from Gronk on whether or not he’s going to play in 2018.  Apparently, one of the reasons that Gronk has been so indecisive about his future is because there’s some friction between him and Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
