Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll announce birth of baby daughter

Welcome to the world, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy.

Rory McIlroy is a dad!

On Thursday morning the golfer announced the arrival of his daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, who was born August 31st at 12:15 p.m.

His caption noted that mother (his wife Erica Stoll) and baby are “doing great,” and that the baby is “the absolute love of our lives.”

McIlroy and Stoll married in 2017 at a castle that was built in the 13th century located in Cong, Ireland. The two met through the game of golf — Stoll was working for the PGA Tour when the two connected.

All best to the family, and welcome to the world, Poppy Kennedy.

Early season college football TV times announcements to be delayed

Usually we start finding out early season kickoff times about now. That isn’t the case as this week. Read the latest right here.

We’re 100 days until Week One of the college football season getting going and 93 days until a handful of games kick things off in Week Zero.  Usually it’s right about now we get our first reports of kickoff times for early season games but those remain to be determined because of COVID-19.

Earlier this week it was announced in a joint statement by all FBS conferences, CBS Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports and their affiliated partners that these announcements will be coming at a later date than we’re used to.

“Collectively, the conferences and television networks have agreed to an extension for determining college football’s early-season game times beyond the standard June 1 deadline. These kickoff times and network designations will be announced at a later date as we all continue to prepare for the college football season.”

No word was given on when we may find out more and there is clearly no guarantee that the 2020 season will actually be played, although I get the feeling from recent actions that it’s seeming more likely by the day.

It’s worth noting that all of Notre Dame’s home games on NBC have already been announced, as has the Navy game in Dublin. The first Notre Dame game-time we’re waiting to find out is the September 26 contest against Wake Forest in Charlotte.
