Tennis star Genie Bouchard kicks off Halloween weekend with Britney tribute, Caleb supports kids & beer sword

30 October 2026 at 13:28

Welcome to Screencaps, "America's Best Daily Column," as named by the readers. Screencaps, which publishes seven-days-a-week, is a mix of sports, pop culture, and emails from sane readers from around the world. This column isn't for the coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let's have some fun.

Welcome to one of the greatest times of the year for Screencaps

It's like shooting fish in a barrel right now for this column. I was telling Mrs. Screencaps this week that there are days of the year I don't like to take off work because the content is just so good. Those days include the holidays and Halloween.

Why wouldn't I take off the holidays? 1. It's my column. I don't feel like it's fair to SeanJo to tell him to work the holidays when I started this column. 2. The content is always great. July 4? Are you kidding me? The content is off the charts. Christmas? Instagram models dump out all sorts of content. New Years? Having to work in the morning tends to prevent me from going too nuts the night before. Thanksgiving morning is one of the easiest editions of Screencaps to produce. People are in a good mood. They want to show me what they're cooking.

And they're dialed into the content because they're not at work.

As for Halloween, I literally get paid to report on Halloween costumes. After being told this week by some idiot emailer that I should retire, my resolve is stronger than ever. No, I won't retire. I built this column into the greatest job on the Internet. You'd have to yank it out of my cold dead hands.

Thank you to retired tennis star Genie Bouchard for kicking off the weekend with a Brit Brit tribute. Well done.

Mailbag: How do you deal with the a--holes?

– Jayson asks: A buddy of mine writes a mailbag column for a website. He said that occasionally, he will get emails from "psychos" who flip on him for not reading their questions. Have you ever received that kind of junk since starting Screencaps? If you do, do you answer them back, or simply ignore them?

Kinsey: I've never had emailers turn heel because I wouldn't publish their emails, but I've had guys who claimed to be fans and loyal readers who turned out to be total scumbags, especially after I left Busted Coverage and joined Clay Travis here at OutKick. There have been guys who felt like I should've given them freebies that brands used to send to me.

As for a--hole emailers, I like when people write and snap on me. It's great content. Typically, when I reply to their emails, the people disappear.

WARREN SAPP GETS INTO CONFRONTATION WITH FLORIDA STATE FAN DURING TAILGATE, TIM MCGRAW'S BRONZER & DALE ART

This is a career-low and she's playing COLLEGE golf

A quick Google search reveals that Elizabethtown College was having revenue trouble in 2024 when the school cut 13 faculty members. You know what they didn't cut? Women's golf, where members of the team are really killing it out on the links.

Do you let weirdos pick your groceries and dump them into your car?

• Legacy reader Jess in Alabama, who has been emailing longer than pretty much any other OutKick reader, says it's just convenient: The guy who wrote in that only the elderly or disabled should get delivery groceries is forgetting the time in his life with babies. I can get off my lazy ass, but y’all don’t want to see that diaper blowout spill on the aisle next to your shoe or hear the tantrum that happens 1 out of 4 trips. I’ll let the grocery guy pick out a bag of potatoes or mustard or random stuff I grab off the shelf. Then I’ll find time to stock my own meat and fruit when I get a chance. And I am not complaining about my life. I’m very grateful. And very grateful not to ruin your pleasant experience at the grocery store.

SUPERMARKET VOTED BEST GROCERY STORE IN AMERICA AS CUSTOMERS PRAISE MEAL KITS, VARIETY OF OFFERINGS

• Louie in Savannah pushes back on Chris A.'s email: I have been following along with the grocery pick up debate the last few days and have to weigh in, especially after the comment about those that do it are lazy and park in the fire lane.

We use it every week. We are quite able-bodied, just busy as hell.

BABY BOOMERS HATE 10 THINGS ABOUT TODAY'S GROCERY STORES

My wife is the "Food and Beverage Coordinator" in our home and we have been using the Kroger "Click list" just about every week since it became an option years ago. I imagine every store in different parts of the country have varying experiences but there are so many benefits for us to ordering online and picking it up. My wife just submitted ours and I'm picking it up on the way home from work tomorrow. I'll be in the parking lot for no more that 15 minutes total. It's very convenient and actually saves money. There is no impulse buying when you pick it up, only what you ordered. We also aren't bringing our teen and pre-teen sons into the store who are suddenly starving (as always) and now want to throw everything they see into the cart and grab a sushi roll to devour while walking around. As an added bonus, once every two months or so, the store accidentally loads someone else's partial order into the car and there is no way to tell until you get home. It is like a bonus mystery box. We always call to let them know but they always say to keep the items.

Sure, there are issues with produce or other things sometimes but the customer service personnel are always nice and they will throw a $20 coupon into the next order for the inconvenience. Also, beer and wine purchases are allowed as well so that is one fewer stop while running errands.

With as busy as we are in my house with jobs, school and sports, grocery pick up saves a ton of time!

Everywhere is different I am sure but it's a huge benefit for our house.

• Voiceover Mike writes: To be honest, my wife will put in a weekly Target order, something of a holdover from Covid days, and I'm usually the one on pick-up duty. Do I feel a little emasculated, sitting next to soccer moms in their SUVs and Teslas waiting for their orders? Maybe a little. Will I let the Target order picker select produce for me? Nope. I hit the grocery store for that.

If it were my choice, I'd wander the aisles, list in hand, and pick everything myself, but I've been relegated to pick-up duty. Keep up the great work, and never underestimate the importance of what you do for us.

• Tom T. is fired up: Nice fall weather hare in VA. It’s a good day to shake my old man fist at the clouds.

Chris A. really nailed it! Get off your lazy butt and go get your own damn groceries! Also, if you are under 40 and would like to one day own a home, get off your lazy butt and go get your own damn groceries, and then COOK your own damn food. I just do not get the allure of Door Dash, unless you have been drinking beer all day, because nobody should be drinking and driving in this day and age. Also, make your own damn coffee in the morning.

I also LOVE the entitled losers who park in the fire lane while their spouse "runs" into the grocery store "for one thing". I always give ‘em the hairy eyeball as I walk into the grocery store.

• Bob in Cincy says: Our strategy for groceries is to leverage the Kroger pickup for staples such as canned good, frozen items and the like.  No veggies or fruits.  For those we go to Dorthy Lane or Fresh Thyme which are more expensive in general.  The online shopping is convenient I’ll admit, and less expensive than DL or FT.  It works well for us.

Resealable cereal bags were finally invented

• Joe in E. Tennessee checks in: What am I going to do with the twenty or so chip clips that are currently keeping my cereal fresh!?!? I'll run out of room on my refrigerator!!!

Kinsey: The Big Chip Clip lobbyists will not stand for these resealable bags. Just wait. Congress will intervene.

Fall golf

• Darren in NE ATL shares: Had almost forgotten a fall golf memory. Late fall in the 90's, with my dad, north of Dover, DE. Probably low 40's. Pushed a drive near a lake into clumped grass. Got there and a slow moving, big ass snake was right at my ball. Seeing as my one true phobia is snakes, I took a stroke penalty for a lost ball, and ran the he'll away.

Masters winner becomes latest golfer to leave LIV, keeping 'options open' for PGA Tour return

29 October 2026 at 17:03

LIV Golf is in shambles, and another one has bitten the dust.

Sergio Garcia said on social media that he will be playing in the DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour, and is "keeping my options open for a return to the PGA Tour."

The DP World Tour announced earlier this month that it was no longer allowing LIV players to participate in its tournaments.

"This tour has been a huge part of my career from the very beginning, and I’m proud to call it home again," Garcia said in his statement.

The 2017 Masters winner also said it is a "goal" to play for Team Europe in the Ryder Cup in Ireland — European golfers must be a member of the DP World Tour in order to be eligible. Thus, with the DP World Tour's new stipulations, Garcia's already-slim chances were essentially put to zero.

Garcia last played in the Ryder Cup in 2021, several months before jumping to LIV. He has won six times in his 10 appearances.

Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, both Team Europe staples, have already said they are leaving LIV Golf. Louis Oosthuizen is also leaving, and Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed departed months ago.

The PIF halted funding in April to redirect money toward domestic projects and manage financial pressures from the regional war with Iran. Following the decision, PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan resigned from LIV’s board.

AUSTIN SMOTHERMAN SETS SIGHTS ON EARNING MASTERS INVITE AFTER PICKING UP BACK-TO-BACK PGA TOUR WINS

LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey last month. Between 2021 and 2026, LIV spent an estimated $5 billion to $8 billion. Bankruptcy filings show the league owes millions of dollars in unpaid compensation to top players, including Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Cam Smith.

The league’s future depends on a proposed restructuring plan called "LIV 2.0," but Rahm said the terms of "2.0" are "unacceptable" and he won't be participating in it. Rahm and Hatton were perhaps the two biggest LIV names to play in DP World Tour events.

Under the proposal, London-based private equity firm BC Partners, which has financial ties to player agency GSE Worldwide, would fund a 2027 relaunch. The plan would also give the players majority ownership of the league.

LIV has laid off most of its operational staff, left event contractors waiting for payment and faces a lawsuit from the Premier Golf League alleging breach of confidence and conspiracy.

Shortly after the PIF pulled its funding, LIV CEO Scott O'Neil said the LIV calendar would not be altered, but that did not occur. The league's originally-scheduled championship weekend was cancelled, forcing it to be played a week earlier.

Austin Smotherman sets sights on earning Masters invite after picking up back-to-back PGA Tour wins

29 October 2026 at 12:53

Austin Smotherman earned his first win on the PGA Tour in early October at the Bank of Utah Championship, checking the box of fulfilling a lifelong dream. He needed all of 22 days to get back into the winner's circle at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Earning two wins in consecutive starts is not only career-changing, but it also brings new goals to the forefront, and the 32-year-old is by no means keeping the top one on his list a secret.

With his two wins this fall, Smotherman has earned a spot on the PGA Tour's Championship Series debuting in 2028, exemptions into the 2027 PGA Championship and 2027 U.S. Open, and a touch more than $1.1 million. He also moved to No. 54 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), and now, moving up at least four spots and inside the Top 50 by year's end has understandably become the focus.

"No doubt, no doubt," Smotherman began when asked if getting inside the Top 50 was now the top priority. "Everything for next year is already pretty firm as far as where things are going to be, but I still have majors that need to be put on the schedule. That’s the one thing that’s really shifted."

PGA TOUR IS FINALLY BRINGING MATCH PLAY TO ITS POSTSEASON BEGINNING IN 2028 IN NO-BRAINER DECISION

Players inside the Top 50 in the final edition of the world rankings in 2026 earn a spot in next year's Masters. Smotherman's lone major championship start in his career is a missed cut at the 2026 PGA Championship.

"That’s why we wanted to go play Bermuda," Smotherman explained. "I got asked that question a lot last week, and my caddie did as well. From Monday through Friday, people were asking, 'What are you doing here? Why do you want to go to Bermuda? Why do you want to do this?'

"My wife and I talked about it, and she’s got things handled at home. We’re in a good routine, and I didn’t go to Japan, so I got that extra week off. That’s what we were playing for. I’m going to play Austin and the RSM Classic to try to move inside the top 50.

"If we’re 51st, we’re 51st. It’s not necessarily the end of the cutoff, because there are still other ways to get in and a little bit of time left, but having that certainty before taking time off would be nice."

CAM YOUNG WAS OUT THE DOOR TO LIV GOLF, WIND CUTS PGA TOUR EVENT SHORT, AND GEARING UP FOR MEXICO

Nice would be an understatement. Knowing a letter from Augusta National is on the way to your mailbox for next April's event before the calendar flips to 2027 would not only come with a sense of relief, but be a dream come true, which is a feeling Smotherman has managed to achieve on quite a consistent basis this fall.

Smotherman, a former standout at SMU, defeated Seamus Power in a three-hole playoff in what was among the more unique finishes seen on the PGA Tour in quite some time.

Due to extreme winds ahead of the final round, the event was officially cut to just 54 holes, but with Smotherman and Power tied atop the leaderboard, the pair dueled it out on the tricky Par 3 16th hole on Monday morning until Smotherman's third consecutive par was enough to get the job done.

Smotherman will enjoy the dad life at home in Dallas over the next couple of weeks while gearing up for his next start at the Austin Championship beginning on Nov. 12.
