One of the most famous American athletes of all time is taking time out of her busy schedule to speak to Central New Yorkers at a free, public event.

Phil Mickelson expressed his sympathy for those who lost loved ones in 9/11, but his actions are speaking louder than his words, according to one irate widow.

Through all of the tributes, montages, and heartfelt memorials, one particular New York tribute from the sports world caught my eye.

It seems that day by day we get a little bit closer to "normal" here in New York state.

The Women's Championship of the US Open is one of the hottest topics in all of sports right now and considering it's also opening weekend of the NFL that's really saying something. Serena Williams says she was treated unfairly because she's a woman while she's being fined $17,000 for her outbursts. Which side do you fall on? We reached out to USA Today's Christine Brennan her thoughts and she has strong feelings on how all of this was handled.

The US Open at Shinnecock Hills was challenging and some say unfair test of the world's greatest golfers skills. Brooks Koepka won his second straight US Open with a score of +1 which is a great sign of the courses level of difficulty. The story isn't Koepka anymore because Phil Mickelson did something I've only seen at Mini Golf Courses.

They call him "Lefty".  A surefire Hall of Famer in the waiting.  A four-time major champion which includes three green jackets at The Masters and a PGA Championship in 2005.  But Phil Mickelson is missing one major.
