Small Child Attempts To Fight Professional Hockey Player
The Chicago Blackhawks were in the middle of skating out the final 15 minutes of a 6-1 thumping of the Columbus Blue Jackets when one of the most absurd-looking fights ever broke out.

Tiger Woods Holes Out From The Bunker For Birdie, Tells Tony Romo "Fuck Yeah!"
Three consecutive bogeys in today's round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am had critics convinced Tiger didn't quite have the swagger back, but this nifty Bob Tway-style bunker shot was vintage—as was what he said to playing partner Tony Romo afterward. [CBS]...

Nantz: Pebble Beach Is The World's Best Golf Course, So You Should Respect Bill Belichick For Playing It

Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...

How Dare Bill Belichick Golf Pebble Beach Just Four Days After Losing The Super Bowl
Nah, not really. That would be an absurd argument to make, just about as absurd as decreeing Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light can't go party in Indianapolis. It's a slippery slope. How many days after a big loss is it acceptable to have fun? Is a sedate sport like golf more palatable than dancing? How ...
