data-mm-id=”_sar0t6dai”>What a month it's been for golf. If anything it's taught us to expect the unexpected and not bat an eye at literally anything, including John Daly sitting down with Tucker Carslon at an objectively crazy-shaped table covered in cans of drinks no one should be drinking and talking a little Donald Trump.Daly, as you may have heard, is a big fan of the 45th president and says he has a lot of company in that fandom among his fellow golfers. Which golfers? Pretty much all of them."All of us on the tours, we all want Daddy Trump back," he said. "He was a great president and he's a great guy once you get know him."John Daly: “All of us on the tours, we all want Daddy Trump back” pic.twitter.com/EdIaa29D3s— Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) December 12, 2023Daly also regaled Carslon with a story about how Trump told him almost 30 years ago that he would be president one day. The two then dove into the important issues like what Trump needs to do in order to fix his chipping, which Daly says is holding back a pretty solid overall game. Maybe all of this is true. We have to take Daly at his word. What's important here is that the entire interview is one long, enjoyable sight gag. One guy looks like a mall Santa on break and the other like he's got a sitdown with some Goldman Sachs contacts later in the day. And yet they find common ground. Inspiring.

Quique Setien s troops will be boosted coming into this clash having impressively dismissed of Serie A side Napoli at the Camp Nou 3-1 last time out and 4-2 on aggregate to reach the tournaments quarter-final stage in Lisbon. That victory also meant that the Catalans had only lost one game since the resumption of football, that solitary defeat coming against Osasuna on the penultimate matchday of the La Liga season.

Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci has completed a move to Union Berlin after leaving Juventus.
Bonucci, 36, still had one more year on his contract with the Bianconeri, but was not in the plans for the new season.
Having made more than 500 appearances for Juve over two spells, Bonucci leaves the Italian giants having won the league title eight times as well as four Italian Cups.
Remember this, Unioner. There are few people on earth who understand the art of defending better than this man. It is a great honour and a privilege to have him here. Eisern!!!

Bonucci was part of the Italy side which beat England on penalties to win the Euro 2020 final at Wembley and hopes regular football again will help con…
Al Ahly booked a return to the CAF Champions League final with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Wydad Casablanca in the second leg of their last-four clash.
The eight-time champions took an early lead and never looked like missing out on a 13th appearance in the showpiece as they went on to seal a 5-1 aggregate triumph at Cairo International Stadium.
Just as they did in the first leg, Al Ahly quickly opened the scoring when Marwan Mohsen tucked the ball past Ahmed Tagnaouti in the fifth minute and a VAR check showed the offside flag had been incorrectly raised.
Hussein El Shahat doubled the Egyptian side s advantage when he turned Yahia Attiyat inside out, and Yasser Ibrahim s header before the hour mark effectively ended the tie as a contest.

Domenico Tedesco does not believe he has anything to prove on his return to Germany with new side Belgium after previously being sacked by RB Leipzig and Schalke.
Leipzig parted company with Tedesco in September 2022, nine months after he took up the position, despite winning the DFB-Pokal in the 2021-22 campaign.
The 37-year-old was also ousted by Schalke in March 2019, a year on from guiding the club to a second-place finish in the Bundesliga.
But ahead of Belgium s friendly with Germany in Cologne on Tuesday, Tedesco insists he is content with what he achieved across his two spells in the country where he grew up.
I love my job and I am happy with what I have already achieved, he said at Monday s pre-match press conference.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich will lock horns on Tuesday in a tantalising Champions League group game at Camp Nou.
It will be the first meeting between these sides since last August in Lisbon, when they served up a 10-goal contest that will live long in the memory – although that s something Barca fans must wish were not so.
Bayern were 8-2 winners in that quarter-final, utterly dismantling a Barca side who looked increasingly lost at sea with every goal that went in. It was a match with seismic repercussions, too: while the Bundesliga giants went on to win the treble, Barca sacked head coach Quique Setien, Lionel Messi asked to leave and the end of Josep Maria Bartomeu s presidency was hurried along.
It was also a statistical outlier in terms of more than a me…
Market: Lincoln double chance
Odds: 8/15 @
Looking to make it three victories on the bounce in midweek, Lincoln will travel to the Sixfields Stadium when they meet a struggling Northampton on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Northampton might have signed off their pre-season preparations with a 3-1 victory away at MK Dons, Jon Brady’s men have drastically struggled to keep up that momentum. Last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display as they were hit with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Wigan, the Cobblers have lost each of their first three appearances across all competitions since opening the 2023/24 campaign. Likewise, crashing out of the EFL Cup last week after suffering a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Championship outfit …
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou does not predict Liverpool or Manchester City falling away in the coming years irrespective of who manages both clubs.
City have won five of the last six Premier League titles with current leaders Liverpool breaking the monopoly in 2020, but Jurgen Klopp will depart Anfield at the end of the campaign.
Klopp will leave after nine seasons in England and Pep Guardiola will match that tally next term.
Postecoglou has repeatedly expressed his desire for Spurs to regularly compete with the best clubs in England, but knows they must improve and not rely on others to dip in order for that to happen.
“If that’s your only hope, waiting for the top ones to slip? I just don’t think you get there. I really don’t,” he sai…
