VINCENT LAFORETFor the first time in more than a month, it felt like we were watching live sports again on Sunday night as ESPN's highly anticipated docuseries, “The Last Dance,” debuted. Sure, the subject matter was two decades old, but there was plenty of new footage involving Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, it drew a large audience, and you could even bet on it! It was fun for the whole family! Well, except for all the cursing and the fact it started way too late for kids.
Heck, even I had to stay up past my bedtime to watch the second episode. But I'm glad I did because it gave us two classic MJ stories involving golf. Oh, and a cameo by Charles Oakley in which he literally slaps around Scottie Pippen as a rookie. OAK!

Apparently, Jordan was more subtle in his rookie hazing. In fact, he even gave Scottie golf clubs as a nice gesture. Kidding! Of course, one of the most cutthroat competitor..

Porn site offers Joe Buck $1 million to announce videos, Buck has perfect response
Last month, during a radio interview, Joe Buck revealed that he had received “quite a few” NSFW videos for him to do play-by-play for on Twitter. Not surprisingly, Buck passed, saying that maybe he'd get around to doing that later in his life. But everybody has a price, don't they?
Actually, thankfully, no, they do not. At least Buck doesn't. According to Darren Rovell, a porn site offered Buck $1 million to announce its cam shows live, which is not a sentence I could ever dream of typing when I chose journalism as a college major. And by dream I mean having the worst nightmare one could possibly have:

What an absolutely wild offer, which, according to TMZ, was for just six weeks of work. What site is it, you ask? Go find out for yourself, you sickos.
Buck turned down the offer with an absolutely perfect response on Twitter:

Tiger Woods finally reveals … what gum he chews during tournaments
A year ago, to put it lightly, we were living in simpler times. Golf fans were still basking in the glow of Tiger Woods' fifth Masters victory and the biggest question in sports wasn't “When are sports coming back?” but rather, “What kind of gum was Woods chewing?” while winning his long-awaited 15th major title. Well, a year later, we finally have that answer.
But before we get to the juicy (fruit?) reveal—and before you make fun of this post's premise—a friendly reminder that this really was a big deal during last year's tournament. Seriously, this is the kind of silly stuff we used to be consumed by. Tiger's chomping had Golf Twitter in a tizzy and a story giving his explanation for the gum following his victory was one of the most-viewed posts on our website. For all of 2019!

You can bet on Michael Jordan crying in “The Last Dance,” because people are sick (and desperate to gamble)
Raymond BoydThere was some potentially good news for Nevada professional gamblers earlier this week when it was reported they might be able to collect unemployment due to casinos and sportsbooks being closed amid COVID-19 concerns. You can practically hear degenerates in Las Vegas phoning home to say, “See, mom? I told you I have a real job!” But in the meantime, there's actually still a lot to bet on—and not just Russian ping-pong that a co-worker who won't be named has been “cleaning up” on.
