Brooks Koepka hit a shot onto a barge and now all of NYC gets a free beer

Let's clarify that seemingly too-good-to-be-true headline. Brooks Koepka, in an event set up by his sponsor Michelob Ultra, was up on a hill on Governor's Island, with the goal being to hit the green that had been set up on a barge floating out in the Hudson. With the New York City skyline in the background and the wind whipping, Koepka hit the target about 130 yards away.
Why this matters for you is that if Koepka hit the target, Michelob said they'd give everyone in New York City a beer. So, Koepka hit the barge and now I guess is the most popular man in Manhattan.
The free beers will be available on May 16th, the first day of play at the PGA Championship, played this year at Bethpage Black. The team at Michelob says that beer drinkers in New York City will get a $5 rebate on Michelob Ultra six-pack, and will be able to get a free Ultra at certain bars from 3-6pm in New York City. Michelob has yet to announce which bars those are. We'll update this post as soon as..

Your dad is gonna love Kevin Harvick’s millennial-parodying NASCAR All-Star livery

By now you've heard everything there is to hear about the evil, puppy-kicking scourge known as millennials. They eat avocado…on TOAST! They're killing Applebee's! They work too much for too little pay and don't even want to have reckless sex anymore! The world as we know it—a noxious, heady haze of fat jokes and print nudie mags—is under siege, and if they break through the white picket fences, even our platinum preferred cable packages will be powerless to stop them!
Thankfully a few boomer strongholds remain, putting up a brave fight against the coming darkness. One such battalion is that of NASCAR, who unveiled their very own trojan horse on Tuesday, slipping it right into enemy territory without anyone noticing. Ladies and gentlemen of the resistance, we present Kevin Harvick's “Millennial” Mustang. With god speed and good luck, they'll never know what hit 'em.

May 7th is the most magical day in sports history

Denis PoroyTake Super Bowl Sunday and shove it. Tell Masters Sunday to go pound sand. On the long, stirring list of great days in sports, everything and everyone bows to May 7th. An innocuous date perched on the precipice of the summer sports chasm, May 7th may not seem like much on the ol' Google calendar, but dig a little deeper and you will quickly find it's holier than Christmas, the theatrical release date of Die Hard, Yom Kippur, and Tom Brady's birthday combined. Join as we pay tribute to our one true master.
May 7th, 1989: Michael Jordan hits “The Shot”
The Famous Original Michael Jordan Signature Moment™. Trailing by one and facing elimination in the Bulls' first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989, MJ got the ball off the in-bounds with three seconds remaining, dragged Craig Ehlo to the top of the key, and falling to his left, nailed one of the most iconic jumpers in NBA lore. May 7th was officially on the map.

Pablo Sandoval did something that hadn’t been done in 114 years (!) on Monday

Thearon W. HendersonBased off his recent stint as a member of the Boston Red Sox, nobody would ever mistake Pablo Sandoval for a “do-it-all” guy. But on Monday, in his second year back as a San Francisco Giant, Sandoval literally did it all, joining one of the most elite groups in the history of the MLB.
In the top of the second inning of the Giants' road game against the Cincinnati Reds, Sandoval, who is not exactly fleet of foot, stole third base, his first stolen bag since 2012, his only stolen base that season. He's only stolen 12 for his entire career, so the swiped bag was equally as incredible of a feat for Panda as the one that put him in rarified air.
Later in the game, with the Giants trailing 7-1, Sandoval hit his third homer of the year, a three-run shot that cut the lead to 7-4. It would end up being the last time San Francisco scored all game, and the Reds immediately began to pile on, going up 12-4 in the bottom of the sixth.
Two innings later, with the game we..

All-time good guy Jason Kipnis helps Indians fans with ballpark gender reveal

We're pleased to report that this whole gender reveal thing seems to have tapered off. This time last year, the internet was flooded with elaborate unveilings featuring everything from alligators to the Philly Special, but when an Arizona man plead guilty to an explosive mishap that ended up scorching over 45,000 acres and causing $8 million dollars worth of damage, the trend went up in, um, smoke. Thanks to Jason Kipnis, however, a reveal renaissance may yet be in the works, with the Cleveland Indians' second baseman helping a pair of Indians fans with their very own celebration on Monday afternoon.

Man, talk about a good guy. Not only does Kipnis trot all the way over in the mist and the cold to help this couple hit their baby moonshot, he also takes a face full of pink chalk and keeps on smiling. Then he presents the couple with the bat to take home and poses for a picture, because everyone knows that if it doesn&..
