Scott HalleranAthletes and celebrities shut down their Twitter accounts all the time, but Lydia Ko managed to give a reason for leaving the social media service we've never heard before. Apparently, the app was clogging up her cell.

Taking up too much storage on her phone? Really?
To be fair, I launched a full investigation into the matter (by checking the storage on my own phone), and Twitter does take up about three times the space Instagram does. Still. . . how much space is on your phone, Lydia? Have you not upgraded to at least 128 gigabytes by now? You're a two-time major champ!

Here are Ko's full quotes from Mell's Thursday story:
“I actually did it because I wasn’t really on Twitter that much,” Ko said after shooting an opening 68 at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open. “I actually spend most of my social media time on Instagram.

Wife forces husband to sell his custom Oakland Raiders Camaro for $1,800
If you're looking for a spare room in an apartment full of vampires, an unpaid internship at Pyramid Scheme LLC, or a drummer named Braun for your new jazz metal band, Craigslist has always been the place to go. But as the sketchy exchange backwater turns 23, it also has become something no one, not even Craig himself, could have anticipated: A snapshot of America's failing marriage complex.
We've already introduced you to the poor sap who was forced to sell his clubs down the river to save a marriage to another human being who doesn't support their partner's hobbies and passions (god speed, buddy), but today our search takes us to Sacramento, where one woman has taken upon it herself to put her husband's cherished money pit—a 1979 Chevy Camaro bedecked in custom Raiders badging—up for immediate sale:

Jamaican bobsled coach quits Olympic team…and apparently is taking the team’s sled with her
Alexander HassensteinKOENIGSSEE, GERMANY – JANUARY 20: Sandra Kiriasis (C), head coach of team Jamaica reacts with her athletes Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian and Carrie Russell of Jamaica at Deutsche Post Eisarena Koenigssee after the BMW IBSF World Cup Women`s Bobsleigh World Cup on January 19, 2018 in Koenigssee, Germany. (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images For IBSF)Remember that kid who would take his ball home if he wasn't getting up enough shots when you were growing up, ruining the rest of your afternoon because he wasn't getting his way? He was the worst. (If you're reading this Ryan Ruesing, know that I still use your name synonymously for prima donnas and crybabies. You loser.)
Well that kid has emerged at the Olympics in the form of Sandra Kiriasis, head of the Jamaican bobsled team.
Or should we say “former” head. Kiriasis told the BBC that the country's bobsled federation attempted to change her role to “track performance analyst,” which would limi..
New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway feels very strongly about bullpen “dry humping”
During his introductory press conference this past October, New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway spoke in an overly positive manner in regards to the 2018 season. “We're going to spend time with these guys in the clubhouse and I'm going to love every one of them,” Callaway said. “I'm going to show them day in and day out, by the decisions I make, the way I communicate with them, that I truly, truly care about them.” Well, if you thought that was a bit much, the former Cleveland Indians pitching coach took it to a different level of “love” on Valentine's Day.
Once again, Callaway was up to his usual tricks in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on Wednesday, this time speaking in glowing terms about the team's pitching staff, which left a little something to be desired in 2017. “This is the best group of arms and stuff I’ve ever seen, from top to bottom,” he said. But the quote that caused everyone's ears to perk up came when the focus shifted to the bullpen and how ..

European Tour winner celebrates Valentine’s Day in impressive manner
What did you get your special someone for Valentine's Day this year? Red roses? Chocolates? Flowers? Boring.

How romantic. These guys are pretty darn good, huh? Talk about “Traj goals.” Oh, did we say “Traj goals”? That's funny, because we just happened to roll out this new T-shirt. Hey, now that seems like it would be a great, out-of-the-box idea for a Valentine's gift. . .
Anyway, nicely done, Alex. And fantastic timing!

The only thing worse than The Bachelor Winter Games’ anthem is…nothing, nothing is worse
For years I thought I could skate through life never having to write about The Bachelor. I hoped my career choice—editor of a sports website—and personal hangup about spending precious hours of my life consuming content that contributes literally nothing to said life would preclude me from the doom of Totally Fabricated Dating Show Beat Writer.
But when I saw and, more specifically, heard the anthem to the first-ever Bachelor Winter Games, I knew my fate had been sealed. It was simply too good (and by good, I mean oh so very bad) to pass up.
So I have only one question to ask you, America: Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world? Because this is officially it.

Kyrie Irving’s “Uncle Drew” has a movie coming out, signaling that Hollywood has truly given up
Movie goers have griped for years that the entertainment industry has run out of ideas, but that sentiment seems particularly verifiable as of late. A new Batman developed two years after Christopher Nolan's Caped Crusader trilogy wraps? Sure. Roll the dice with The Magnificent Seven even though the original holds up? Go for it. Drop $30 million in Tyler Perry's lap to dress like a loquacious dame for the umpteenth time? THAT'S GOLD, JERRY.
But for those still holding onto the fairy tale that is Tinsel Town, go ahead and kiss that magic goodbye. Because they've turned Kyrie Irving's decent, not-as-good-as-you-remember-it commercial into a full-length film. That's right, Uncle Drew is hitting the silver screen.
And no, this isn't some slick, over-the-top Pepsi ad. It has an actual IMDB page and release date. Amazingly pre-sale tickets are not yet available.
Hey, at least Shaq's cinematic body of work is unassailable. This gem should feel right at ..

Yes, these are actual pants worn by actual athletes at an actual Olympics in at least one actual timeline of our existence. They are also—despite Team USA's board-related dominance, the discovery of Russia's Hottest Curler, and the incredible success of out athletes across the Games—perhaps the best thing we've seen at said Olympics thus far.
