In a game against the New York Islanders last month, a hockey puck deflected squarely into the face of Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron. He lumbered off the ice and into the locker room, blood pouring from his nose. The following night at Madison Square Garden, he scored Boston’s second goal in a win over the New York Rangers. “Anything he can play through, or push to play through, he will,” teammate Brad Marchand said. “He could easily walk away from that and rest up for the next one.”

The resulting creation, a Wilson Staff Dyna-Power 6-iron head, was tucked away in Shepard’s space suit for launch, with a few balls hidden in a sock. “Miles and miles and miles,” the jubilant astronaut remarked as the ball sailed out of his view, swallowed by the infinite blackness of space. What does any of that have to do with an astronaut playing golf on the moon? Saunders believed Shepard’s “miles and miles” remark to have been made tongue-in-cheek, an almost instinctive reflex of his hyper-competitive, “fighter-jock” nature. “We always talk about getting to the moon, landing on the moon, returning back to Earth – that’s how we think of the moon,” Odom said.

This happened my whole time in school.”In his statement, Meyer-Crothers alleges that Miller would spit in his face and call him the N-word.
