"Maybe these next five minutes help you sleep. Maybe it helps you to No. 1 in the world. Maybe it saves your marriage. Maybe it does nothing for you. Netflix ain't going anywhere, so just keep reading.

"My name is Steve Wheatcroft, and I’m a PGA Tour has-been. I’m a 46-year-old sarcastic, self-deprecating, fun-loving old dude that can’t sit here in the silence anymore. Silence is what got me here."

With those first three paragraphs and 17 of the seconds Steve Wheatcroft asked of our day, we think we might know a bit about the Western Pennsylvania native and First Coast transplant.

PGA Tour player. Mid-40s. Sense of humor. Likeable. 

Later in a social media essay that Wheatcroft wrote on his laptop — sitting in the bleachers while his son was at a baseball practice — posted in September and reprinted on pgatour.com, we find more reasons to like him: a family man, married to his wife Sarah for 13 years, father to Chase and Emily, a fixture in the bleachers at baseball games and gymnastics meets. 

Still, we don't really know him, mainly because Wheatcroft said he didn't know himself until he was spiraling in the throes of mental health issues and alcoholism, basically staying drunk for two years, which began one morning after a client changed his mind on a deal that would have brought Wheatcroft a substantial commission after months of a decline in business.

Dolphins Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall was released from the hospital Saturday after what police said was a domestic-violence incident in which he was stabbed by his wife with a kitchen knife Friday in the Miami area.

Marshall's wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, 26, was arrested Friday by the Broward County Sheriff's Office on a domestic-violence charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Nogami-Marshall was released from jail on a $7,500 bond Saturday afternoon.

Marshall underwent emergency surgery Saturday morning, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Marshall was discharged later in the day and "expected to make a full recovery," according to his publicist, Denise White.

According to the police report, Nogami-Marshall told police she stabbed Marshall in self-defense.

Brandon Marshall initially told police he slipped and fell onto a broken glass vase, but according to the report, police found no blood or evidence to substantiate that statement and said both Marshall and his wife provided little information.

Marshall, 27, was taken to Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale by car and underwent surgery late Friday night for a stab wound to the stomach, sources told Schefter.

No vital organs were pierced in the incident, and doctors have told Marshall that he will be OK in two to three weeks, sources said.

"This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family, thankfully he will make a full recovery," Marshall's agents, Kennard McGuire and Harvey Steinberg, said in a statement. "We simply ask that his privacy is respected."

Dolphins officials say they were told by the league their team doctor is allowed to see Marshall and consult with Marshall's other doctors, despite the NFL lockout.

The Dolphins issued a statement saying: "We are aware of the report, and our thoughts are with Brandon at this time. We will look into the matter, but because we are not allowed to have any contact with any

Deadly Women is an American true crime documentary television series produced by Beyond International Group and airing on the Investigation Discovery (ID) network.

The series focuses on murders committed by women. It is hosted by former FBIcriminal profilerCandice DeLong and narrated by Lynnanne Zager.

Deadly Women was first broadcast in 2005 as a three-part miniseries under the subtitles: “Obsession”, “Greed”, and “Revenge”.

Two major changes were made: Lynnanne Zager replaced original narrator Marsha Crenshaw, and the number of cases in each episode was reduced from four to three. The episodes were also recorded and presented in a widescreen format. The series ended in 2021, after 14 seasons.

Dubbed versions are also produced. A Spanish-language version aired on Discovery en Español under the title Las Verdaderas Mujeres Asesinas (True Killer Women); an Italian language version airs on Real Time Italy under the title Donne mortali (a literal translation of the English title).
