Everyone loves a golf-specific exercise that checks all the boxes.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek and her trainer Jon Freed, demonstrate the quadruple plank kettlebell pull-through as an excellent workout for golfers due to several reasons.

Golfers require strong and stable core muscles to maintain balance and control during the swing. This exercise targets the core, particularly the transverse abdomens and obliques, which are essential for rotational stability and power.

The movement mimics the rotational aspects of a golf swing. As you pull the kettlebell across your body, you engage the muscles that are crucial for generating rotational force, helping to improve the power and accuracy of your swing.

The exercise emphasizes resisting rotation, which is vital for maintaining proper form and preventing injury during the dynamic motions of golf.

The quadruped position also challenges your balance and coordination.

Travis Kelce coins new catchphrase in mic’d up video from Chiefs training camp

Travis Kelce was caught trying out a new catchphrase in this mic’d up video from #Chiefs training camp.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is known for his captivating presence on-camera, and never shies away from the limelight, especially at training camp.

Though the Chiefs’ time in St. Joseph came to an end last week, a video of Kelce’s mic’d-up antics at Missouri Western State University was posted by the team’s official Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon.

Though the clip was relatively innocuous, it included a new catchphrase that may soon make its way into the vernacular of fans in Kansas City and around the country, which Kelce was heard saying often during the Chiefs’ training camp practices.

Kelce isn’t expected to see the field against the Chicago Bears in Kansas City’s preseason finale, but he may find a way to work this new soundbite into interviews from the sideline.

Stay tuned to see if this quip sticks in Kelce’s lexicon, or if it proves to be nothing more than a training camp quirk.

Patrick Mahomes: Chiefs three-peat ‘would mean the world to me’

Check out this video of #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes explaining his goals for the 2024 season.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to rest their starters against the Chicago Bears on Thursday ahead of the NFL’s regular season kickoff on September 5, where the defending champions will face the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.

While Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and Trent McDuffie ride the pine this week, the Chiefs’ attention will turn toward the team’s ultimate goal; achieving a Super Bowl three-peat.

When Mahomes was asked about his goals for the 2024 season in a video posted to the NFL’s official Twitter account, he made it clear that anything less than a third-consecutive title would fall short of his objective.

Check out his full interview below:

Though Mahomes isn’t expected to take the field against Chicago on Thursday, his campaign to become the NFL’s first back-to-back-to-back champion is already underway.

Expect the veteran quarterback to be razor-sharp when he faces the Ravens in Week 1 of the 2024 regular season.

WATCH: Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel interview Broncos coach Sean Payton

Chase Daniel and Dianna Russini recently spoke with Broncos coach Sean Payton on their ‘Scoop City’ podcast. Watch the full interview here.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton spoke with The Athletic‘s Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel last week for a new episode of their “Scoop City” podcast.

Daniel is a former NFL quarterback who was a backup with the New Orleans Saints from 2009-2012 and in 2017, so he has an existing relationship with Payton. Thanks to that relationship, Daniel is granted access that isn’t typically given to members of the media.

Daniel sat in on a team meeting last Thursday before the team’s joint practice with the Green Bay Packers and he also sat in on a quarterback meeting. One of Daniel’s takeaways from those meetings is that quarterbacks coach Davis Webb will become an NFL head coach in the future.

You can watch the full podcast episode below, with the Payton interview beginning at the 17:10 mark:

A few notes:

  • Payton told a story he has told many times about how he liked that quarterback Bo Nix only had football items in his backpack at his pro day. Nix threw 82 passes at his pro day and 81 were “exactly on the right [correct] shoulder.” After watching 16 throws, Payton told general manager George Paton, “This is the guy.” Payton likes Nix’s ability to play in a “dirty pocket” and make off-schedule throws. Philip Rivers worked with Nix this spring and gave him a positive review to Payton.
  • Payton had Paton call the New York Jets when they were on the clock with pick No. 11 to stall and find out if anyone was attempting to trade up above Denver for Nix. Paton also called the Las Vegas Raiders at pick No. 13 to ask if they wanted to move up to gauge if they were targeting a quarterback.
  • Payton spoke highly about third-string QB Zach Wilson and told him, “My job is to make you millions, either with us or another team.”
  • Two weeks ago, Payton had the team’s three QBs give him their favorite plays from previous stops and they put them in the offense. He’s keeping tack of which play performs the best. Payton’s offense is evolving over time and he’s not locked into his 2006 playbook.
  • Payton is excited about the additions of defensive linemen John Franklin-Myers and Malcolm Roach and he’s pleased with how defensive line is playing this summer. Payton described the Broncos as “young and hungry.” He said the two great allies of a young quarterback are a good defense and strong running game, and he believes Denver will have both in 2024.
  • Payton told the story of how he got a Michael Jordan shoe sponsorship from the former NBA star.

Payton is entering his second year with the Broncos after going 8-9 last fall. His all-time head coach record is 160-98. He won seven division titles and one Super Bowl with the Saints before landing in Denver last year.

Peyton Manning stars in commercial for BMW Championship; will compete in pro-am

Peyton Manning and John Elway starred in a funny commercial promoting the BMW Championship at Castle Pines.

The BMW Championship will be held at the Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado this week with the top 50 professionals in the sport.

Earlier this summer, former Denver Broncos quarterbacks Peyton Manning and John Elway starred in a commercial promoting the event:

The PGA Tour’s website notes that Manning “made a hole-in-one in his first round as a Castle Pines member.” Elway is also a member at the club.

The BMW Championship has a $20 million prize and 2,000 FedExCup points on the line this week. Manning will participate in a lower-stakes pro-am on Wednesday with former teammate Brandon Stokley serving as his caddie, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Manning previously served as an honorary chair for the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship last summer. He has competed in the “The Match,” a charity event, twice, including a victory over Tom Brady in 2020. (And he has a sweet golf cart.)

The BMW Championship will be televised on the GOLF Channel and NBC this week. Scottie Scheffler is considered the favorite to win.

Brian Baldinger likes what he’s seen from Broncos QB Bo Nix

“Bo Nix, the starting quarterback Week 1 for these Denver Broncos.” Brian Baldinger has seen enough to name a QB1.

Brian Baldinger is a Boliever.

The NFL Network analyst took to Twitter/X during Sunday’s preseason game between the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers to declare Bo Nix the starting quarterback.

“Here’s Bo Nix on a little rollout right here,” Baldinger says in his video. “Tim Patrick over the middle — [the] right read, two drives, two scores. Bo Nix, the starting quarterback Week 1 for these Denver Broncos.”

Sean Payton, of course, holds the actual authority to name Bo Nix the starter, but he’s not doing so, at least not just yet. Payton could announce a starter before the Broncos return to practice on Wednesday, but the coach was not willing to make a declaration after Sunday’s preseason game.

“I’m not announcing any starting quarterback tonight,” Payton said on Sunday. “I’ll let you guys know when the time comes.”

Nix went 8-of-9 passing for 80 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers in a 27-2 win over the Packers. He certainly looks like Denver’s QB1.

A Jonah Elliss strip-sack led to a Broncos field goal to make it 20-0 in the third quarter.

Have a preseason, Jonah Elliss.

WATCH: Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham runs for 9-yard TD vs. Packers

A nice touchdown run by Jarrett Stidham to give the Broncos a 17-0 lead over the Packers at halftime.

After safety Keidron Smith intercepted a pass and returned it 56 yards, the Denver Broncos were set up with good field position late in the second half of Sunday’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham took advantage of that field position and rushed for a nine-yard touchdown a few plays later. Here’s video of the score, courtesy of the team’s official Twitter/X page:

After that score, Denver now leads Green Bay 17-0 at halftime.
