The European Tour's "Content Committee" is constantly delivering.

Whether it's cats ... playing the piano or a show hosted by Colin Montgomerie called "Monty's Pythons," the braintrust of Tommy Fleetwood, Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Thomas Bjorn, and Eddie Pepperell are full of great ideas.

And now, according to their latest viral video, they've been tasked with rebranding the European Tour with something not funny at all, a totally foreign concept to these guys.

Luckily, European Tour CEO Keith Pelley followed it up with a statement explaining it further.

"Today marks an exciting new chapter in the history and the modern evolution of the European Tour as we unveil our new brand identity along with our new website and app," said Pelley. "We have found ourselves in a position where our organization had accelerated beyond our brand, but the fresh, modern identity we have unveiled today, flanked by our strapline ‘Driving Golf Further’ and underpinned by our three pillars of being innovative, inclusive and global, unequivocally reflects where we are at now. This is us. This is the European Tour as we head into 2020."

So the big question remains, can the "Content Committee" exist somewhere in the realm of this rebrand?

Only time will tell.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane described the goals they conceded in their 2-2 draw at home to Club Brugge in their Champions League group stage clash as "laughable."

Madrid went into half-time 2-0 down at the Bernabeu thanks to two goals from Emmanuel Dennis, but rallied back to draw thanks to second half strikes from Sergio Ramos and Casemiro.

Zidane said he was not happy with the result, but took positives from the reaction as Madrid picked up the first point of their European campaign, having lost 3-0 away to Paris Saint-Germain in their opener.

Tottenham Hotspur were made to pay for lacklustre first-half finishing by a ruthless Bayern Munich side as they were humiliated on home soil, with the Bundesliga champions romping to a 7-2 victory in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday.

Positives

Spurs were by far and away the better of the two sides for large periods of the first half, with Tanguy Ndombele particularly bright as the north Londoners dominated the midfield in the opening stages, while Serge Aurier was a great outlet out wide as last season's Champions League finalists carved out several opportunities.

Negatives

Poor finishing early on meant Spurs were always in Bayern's crosshairs, and their defence completely crumbled in the final half hour as the Bavarians sliced open their opponents with ease in a pathetic second-half showing from Mauricio Pochettino's side.

Manager rating out of 10

5 -- There wasn't too much wrong with Pochettino's team selection, but the Argentine should have made adjustments at half-time as Bayern began to control proceedings towards the end of the first period.

Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best, players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating)

GK Hugo Lloris, 6 -- Made a good early save to deny Kingsley Coman, but could do nothing about Joshua Kimmich's accurate strike to haul Bayern back into the game, or Robert Lewandowski's brilliant arrowed shot to put Bayern ahead. Ruthless finishing made life difficult for the Tottenham stopper.

DF Serge Aurier, 6 -- The full-back was a man on a mission following his Premier League red card against Southampton at the weekend, and was a great outlet on the right-hand side as Tottenham found joy against the struggling David Alaba in the first half, but needs to take his share of the blame for Tottenham's defensive capitulation.

DF Toby Alderweireld, 5 -- The Belgian could do nothing to prevent Serge Gnabry gliding past him on his way to putting Bayern 3-1 up, and inexcusably gave the ball away under no pressure for Bayern's sixth.

DF Jan Vertonghen, 5 -- Bamboozled by Gnabry in the build-up to Bayern's second as he got too tight to the Germany international, and looked woefully out of sorts as the winger raced clear to complete his hat trick late on. A poor showing.

DF Danny Rose, 5 -- Caught out by a smart run by Gnabry in the build-up for Bayern's equaliser, but nipped in ahead of Coman to win a penalty to give his side hope heading into the final half hour.

MF Moussa Sissoko, 5 -- The Frenchman had a strong opening 20 minutes but his influence on the game waned as Bayern wrestled control of the midfield. Needs to do more to impose himself in big games.

MF Tanguy Ndombele, 7 -- A superb opening 15 minutes saw the Frenchman lay on three glorious openings for Son Heung-Min, but his colleague found the net with only one of them. Booked for bringing down Philippe Coutinho on the edge of the Tottenham box, and withdrawn for Christian Eriksen after 63 minutes, but was his side's best player.

MF Harry Winks, 5 -- An uncharacteristic lapse in concentration saw the England man robbed of possession in his own half, leading to Gnabry slotting home his second of the match and a game-killing fourth goal for Bayern. A disappointing day in the office for the England man. Replaced by Erik Lamela late on.

MF Dele Alli, 6 -- The former MK Dons starlet was by no means Tottenham's best player, but some nice touches and forward runs suggest he's moving in the right direction as he looks to force his way back into Pochettino's Premier League plans. Replaced by Lucas Moura for the final 20 minutes.

MF Son Heung-Min, 6 -- Fluffed his lines twice early on when in great positions in the penalty area, but made amends with a smart finish past Manuel Neuer in the 12th minute to open the scoring. Critics will say he should've scored more than one, and he will agree.

FW Harry Kane, 6 -- Rounded Neuer but was denied by a goal-line clearance by Alaba during a frenetic opening 20 minutes, but there was no stopping his confidently dispatched second-half penalty on the hour mark to make it 4-2. Booked for going in arm-first in an aerial challenge with Corentin Tolisso.

Substitutes

MF Christian Eriksen, 6 -- Terrific effort from the edge of the box expertly tipped over by Nueur as Spurs turned the screw, before firing over from distance as the game became stretched.

MF Lucas Moura, N/R -- Failed to make an impression.

MF Erik Lamela, N/R -- No impact from the Argentine.

Serge Gnabry scored four goals and Robert Lewandowski struck twice as a clinical Bayern Munich thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 7-2 away to seize control of Champions League B Group on Tuesday.

The evening had begun well for Tottenham with Son Heung-min scoring in the 12th minute but Joshua Kimmich's superb effort levelled things up in a rip-roaring start.

Robert Lewandowski's 55th Champions League goal gave the visitors the lead on the stroke of halftime and Gnabry piled on the misery for the hosts with a sizzling solo effort in the 53rd minute before slotting in his second shortly afterwards.

Harry Kane's penalty restored some hope for Tottenham on the hour but Bayern were not finished and former Arsenal winger Gnabry completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute.

The suffering was not over for last year's runners-up though as Lewandowski and Gnabry struck in the 87th and 88th minutes.

"We are disappointed. Every single touch from Bayern was clinical," Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino told BT Sport after the game. "They scored with every touch. It is tough to accept. You have to move on.

"This type of situation you have to face. It is tough and you need to be strong and keep going. Stay together, help each other and be all together. When you receive this type of result it is important to bounce back and believe in yourself. It is the only way to recover."

The loss was Tottenham's largest defeat in Champions League history, and was the first time they conceded seven goals at home in any major competition.

Bayern are top of Group B with six points from two games with Tottenham on one.

India women 140 for 4 (Shafali 46, Rodrigues 33) beat South Africa women 89 for 7 (Woolvardt 23, Poonam 3-13, Radha 2-16) by 51 runs

South Africa women dropped three catches in the first four overs. India women nailed a direct hit with their very first opportunity through Pooja Vastrakar in the second over of the chase to remove Lizelle Lee, South Africa's most dangerous batsman. This was just a small window to exhibit the gulf between both sides in a 17-overs-a-side contest in front of nearly 8000 fans in Surat.

India defended 140, made on the back of vital knocks from 15-year-old Shafali Verma (46) and 19-year-old Jemimah Rodrigues (33). South Africa, although steady, didn't get the big hits away in the face of some superb spin bowling from the Yadavs - Poonam and Radha.

Seven overs into their chase, the asking rate touched ten runs an over and that resulted in a series of desperate heaves, slogs and mistimed reverse sweeps on a slow wicket. South Africa managed just 89 for 7 in the end; India's 51-run win helping them clinch the series 2-0 with one game to play.

Poonam came within a hair's breadth of a hat-trick, after sending back Nadine de Klerk and Mignon du Preez. Where de Klerk was undone by dip and sharp turn, slicing a lofted hit to cover, du Preez holed out at long-on after being deceived in flight. Sune Luus, the captain, averted the hat-trick, despite being beaten on a slog, as she dragged her back foot back in time. At this stage, South Africa were 65 for 4 at the end of 11 overs, and the chase only went downhill from there on. Luus was out stumped in the next over to hand Poonam her third wicket.

Where wickets were the order of play in the second innings, misfields and dropped chances were aplenty in the first. South Africa should have had Smriti Mandhana off the third ball but neither the bowler Shabnim Ismail nor mid-off ran across to pouch a top-edge. Mandhana was reprieved again on 6 when de Klerk put down a skier as she back-pedalled at extra cover.

Shafali, too, lived dangerously, surviving a series of mistimed heaves and slogs. Her first boundary, in the second over, came off a streaky edge off a slog that flew past the wicketkeeper. She hit her straps only in the sixth over when she drove Luus superbly through extra cover, and then charged down the pitch to muscle a full toss over deep midwicket. India rode their luck to move to 43 without loss in six overs.

Even as all this played out, Mandhana continued to live a charmed life as she was dropped for a third time on 11 at long-off by Tumi Sekhukhune. Then in the ninth over, Laura Woolvardt palmed a superb hit from Shafali at deep midwicket for six. Two (legal) balls later, Shafali was dismissed, with India well placed at 65 for 2.

Harmanpreet usually likes to take her time to settle in, but on Tuesday she came out playing her shots. She stepped out and used her high backlift and long reach to muscle a huge six down the ground and also played the slog-sweep superbly, racing to 15 off six balls. Harmanpreet's enterprise rubbed off on Jemimah Rodrigues, who in contrast to Harmanpreet, relied on timing and wristwork to keep picking off runs.

She walked across to flick incoming deliveries through midwicket, fetched full deliveries from outside off to bisect midwicket and long-on, and often made room to get underneath the length and scythe the ball between cover and point. This fine exhibition of clean ball-striking gave India end-overs momentum. While Rodrigues didn't stay till the end, her 22-ball 33 helped India plunder 71 off their last eight overs.

South Africa lost Lee in the first over of the chase, when a misunderstanding resulted in Tasmin Brits turning her back on her after initially looking to pinch an overthrow. While South Africa had started with medium-pace from both ends, India began with spin from one end and immediately had the batsmen struggling for timing.

Woolvardt and Brits added 39 off 37 balls, but by then the desperation to find the big hits was all too apparent. This played into the hands of Poonam, whose loop and flight - that didn't give them any pace to work with - resulted in their undoing. Barring the twenties from Woolvardt and Brits, all other South African batsmen managed just single digits on a pitch where shot-making proved increasingly difficult as the game progressed. In the end, South Africa were left with a teasing thought: what might have been had they held onto their chances?

BEREA, Ohio -- The Baltimore Ravens posted a story and video Tuesday on their website arguing that cornerback Marlon Humphrey didn't choke Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Cleveland coach Freddie Kitchens, however, isn't buying that.

"Did you see the video?" he answered rhetorically, when asked to respond. "That's my response. Everybody saw the video."

Beckham and Humphrey got into a skirmish during Sunday's game, which escalated with Humphrey pinning Beckham to the ground. Kitchens was upset that Humphrey wasn't ejected for what he believed to be Humphrey choking Beckham.

Kitchens confirmed that he reached out to the league office this week about Humphrey.

"I will compliment Odell for this: In that instance, he did an excellent job of not retaliating," Kitchens said. "I thought he was in some positions all day and difficult situations all day. I thought he handled it fairly well."

Beckham's teammates also took issue with Humphrey.

"You look at the video, I looked at it [Tuesday] morning, the dude is really like trying to strangle my brother," Browns right tackle Chris Hubbard said. "Something has to be done about that, no matter what it is. You can't have that in this league."

The Ravens, however, tell a different story.

In a story posted with the headline, "Marlon Humphrey Didn't Choke Odell Beckham Jr," a video showing a slow-motion replay of the incident was used to support the writer's point.

After the game, Humphrey also said Beckham should've been the one ejected for throwing a punch. Humphrey ran into the tunnel after the game to apologize to Beckham.

"Based on the close-up that we have of the footage that we had, [Humphrey] pinned him on the ground after about three or four things happened,'' Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "And I don't want to alleviate [Humphrey] from any responsibility, because we can't get flags in that situation."

Harbaugh will again address the media on Wednesday.

Both players were flagged afterward. Though neither was ejected, Beckham and Humphrey could both face fines.

The Ravens and the Browns will face each other again on Dec. 22 in Cleveland.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith on Tuesday said he is against the Fair Pay to Play Act, which was signed into law Monday and states that colleges in California cannot punish their athletes for collecting endorsement money.

"My concern with the California bill -- which is all the way wide open with monetizing your name and your likeness -- is it moves slightly towards pay-for-play," Smith said, "and it's very difficult for us -- the practitioners in this space -- to figure out how do you regulate it. How do you ensure that the unscrupulous bad actors do not enter that space and ultimately create an unlevel playing field?

"One of our principles is try to create rules and regulations to try and achieve fair play."

California's new law will not go into effect until January 2023. The NCAA is exploring options to modernize its approach to dealing with the name, image and likeness (NIL) rights of college athletes before that date.

Smith is one of two administrators leading an NCAA working group that is examining options for NIL rights. The group, which includes athletic directors, university presidents and conference commissioners from all levels of the NCAA, was assembled in May to examine those options and make recommendations about how to move forward.

Smith said he couldn't comment on any specifics about what the working group has discussed, but he did say the group will submit its report to the NCAA board of governors on Oct. 29 in Indianapolis.

"When you think about this issue, you need to think about its complexity as it relates to the university of the membership," Smith said.

"The NCAA is an organization that has taken a long time to try and modernize itself. Over the last five to eight years, improvements have been made in that space to become more modern."

Politicians from several other states have recently proposed bills for laws that would be similar to California's Fair Pay to Play Act. Some of those bills include elements beyond an athlete's name, image and likeness rights. For example, a state senator in New York wants to create a law that would also require schools to directly give their athletes 15% of annual athletic department revenue. A state representative from Florida said he is hoping to introduce legislation that would become law by the end of the current academic year.

Smith said that he would not schedule Ohio State to play schools in states where these kinds of bills are passed. He also said there would be "no compromise" between the NCAA and states that decided to pass similar bills. He said the membership will come up with a recommendation for what it should do, but he added that he doesn't anticipate that happening until late 2020.

Smith and others at the NCAA are concerned about navigating a landscape where each state has different rules about compensating college athletes.

"What we can't have is situations where we have schools and/or states with different rules for an organization that's going to compete together," Smith said. "It can't happen; it's not reality. And if that happens, what we need is federal help to try to make sure we create rules and regulations for all of our memberships that are consistent. And if that doesn't happen, then we're looking at a whole new model."

Smith acknowledged that Ohio State, which has an enormous alumni base and abundant resources, would have an "unbelievable competitive advantage" over a lot of other schools from a system like this, but he is still against it.

He equated it to an Ohio State player being able to use an app to reach out to the 550,000-plus OSU alums and be paid for a personalized shout-out.

"That's the world we'd be living in," Smith said. "I don't want that. How do we regulate that?"

A federal law regarding the issue is currently making its way through the U.S. Congress. Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) has proposed a change to tax code that would force the NCAA to allow players to profit from their name, image and likeness or risk losing its nonprofit tax exemptions. That bill is currently in front of the Ways and Means Committee.

As a member of the working group, Smith said he couldn't comment on whether he would be in favor of players profiting off their likeness if it was regulated and on a national scale.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said he stands with Smith on the fair-pay-to-play issue.

"I understand that it's very complex, and I think that it's an exciting issue for student-athletes," Day said. "I'm interested to see where it goes and the talks that happen. I do definitely think that there's opportunity out there for these guys, but at the same time, it's not that easy. There's a history of college football that's been around for a long time, and I know everybody's sensitive to not turn that off onto a bad road."

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, who is a top Heisman Trophy candidate this season, said he was in favor of some players getting paid for their likeness based on their economic need.

"I think some student-athletes need the money, of course, because not every student-athlete grows up in the same background; some student-athletes have poorer backgrounds than others," Fields said. "I haven't really thought about it much, but I definitely think that some should be paid, in terms of the way they've grown up."

Fields said it's a topic that players have talked about, but their focus, at least in-season, is on the games, not personal profit.

"Of course the players want to get paid, but our focus is really not on getting paid; our focus is on winning games."

Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Sam Ehlinger said he believes the Fair Pay to Play act "is a step in the right direction" for college players, but he isn't sure what the final product will wind up looking like.

"I think it's a great start," Ehlinger said. "I still believe that players should benefit off their likeness, things of that nature. ... I don't know the details of how it should be in play. And that's not up to me. I'm not a lawmaker. I'm not going to create anything. I believe in players being able to benefit from that, but I don't know what that looks like necessarily."

ESPN's Sam Khan Jr. contributed to this report.

MADISON, Wis. -- MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has made it clear that he wants to become a better shooter.

Enter veteran Kyle Korver with the Milwaukee Bucks.

"It's really important [that] I always try to talk to him a little bit," Antetokounmpo said of Korver after the Bucks' first day of training camp at the University of Wisconsin on Tuesday. "And he's a great guy. He's not trying to get in your head or overstep and talk too much to you. Whenever he gives me tips, I always try to listen ... one of the best shooters to ever play the game.

"He's definitely going to help this team, but he's definitely going to help a lot of players develop their shooting ability."

Antetokounmpo shot 30.2% on jump shots last season -- the worst among the 148 players to attempt at least 300 jumpers, per Second Spectrum.

"His professionalism, his work ethic and attention to detail is just gonna help all of us, including me as a coach" said Mike Budenholzer, who also coached Korver with the Atlanta Hawks. "I always say that about Kyle: He makes me a better coach. Adding him to our group was a huge add this summer."

Five months ago, Korver, 38, wasn't sure if he would continue to play professional basketball. After the Utah Jazz were eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs, he said he was mulling retirement.

"I was beat up at the end of last season and I didn't feel like I was able to play the way that I wanted to, so I just didn't want it to be like that again," Korver said Tuesday. "But I still love the game. I still love competing and I still feel like I can offer something.

"So as long as my family can do it, I want to keep going."

Korver, who has shot 42.9% from 3-point range for his career, ranks fourth all-time with 2,351 3-point field goals made. He trails only Ray Allen (2,973), Reggie Miller (2,560) and Stephen Curry (2,483) in that category.

He signed a one-year deal with Milwaukee. Playing for Budenholzer, alongside Antetokounmpo, and to be in the mix to win a title were all important factors.

"That was exciting to me," Korver said. "I can see a role where I can help a team."

WASHINGTON -- Former NBA general manager and league executive Rod Thorn has been hired by the Washington Wizards as a senior adviser to general manager Tommy Sheppard.

In the new role, announced Tuesday by the team, Thorn will help Sheppard with free agency, the draft and other basketball operations matters.

Thorn was a general manager for the Chicago Bulls -- including when they drafted Michael Jordan -- the Nets and 76ers.

He was executive vice president of basketball operations for the NBA from 1986 to 2000.

Thorn was drafted by the Baltimore Bullets in 1963 and played nine years in the league and later worked as a coach.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard responded to Shaquille O'Neal's rap song with one of his own that suggests the Hall of Fame center rode on the coattails of his teammates throughout his career.

The feud began last week when Lillard said on "The Joe Budden podcast" that he believes himself to be a better rapper than Shaq, who released a track last Wednesday that said Lillard was not among the elite of NBA guards. And on Tuesday, Lillard answered by releasing "Reign Reign Go Away" online.

O'Neal won four NBA titles in his career -- three with the Los Angeles Lakers while playing alongside Kobe Bryant and one with the Miami Heat while a teammate of Dwyane Wade.

Or, as Lillard put it in the song he posted Tuesday:

"We both could be working at Kinkos and Kobe won you them rings, though" and "Even in Miami, won that on the strength of Flash."

Lillard also touted his $250 million supermax contract and said he "can't recall you getting that when I was cruising on a 10-speed."

O'Neal posted his song on Instagram on Monday, rapping: "Take your time to respond, there is no hurry / You'll never be Westbrook, never be Steph Curry" and "What's in your wallet, American Express or Visa? / Talking like you're Bron, you ain't even Trevor Ariza."

Damian Lillard said he's a better rapper than Shaq.

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) October 1, 2019

O'Neal's debut album, "Shaq Diesel," went platinum in 1993, though Lillard downplayed his success, saying on Budden's podcast that, "People weren't looking at it like it's a real rapper. It was like, 'that's Shaq rapping.'"

This summer, Lillard also exchanged freestyle raps with Sacramento Kings big man Marvin Bagley III in an appearance on ESPN's First Take, with Budden declaring Lillard the winner.
