Thomas Pieters apparently abides by the “Money over everything” mantra, evidenced by this “FOR SALE” sign on his golf bag.

Ron Burgundy will call Kings-Sharks on Thursday night. Next stop Augusta National?
Buckle up puck nuts, because on Thursday night, with the eyes of the sports world trained squarely on college basketball, one Ron Burgundy will join the booth for the call of the temperate hockey rivalry that is Kings-Sharks. Only Great Odin's Raven knows whether this is going to be spectacularly great or spectacularly terrible.

We don't know why Mr. Burgundy, avowed turtle neck enthusiast and native San Diegan, will call a meaningless NHL game in LA (apart from the fact Will Ferrell lives there and, as a celebrity owner of LAFC, is actively involved in the sports community), but the comedic possibilities do seem endless. Put him in the penalty box for a glass case of emotion bit. Toss stuffed animal versions of Baxter on the ice if someone scores a hat trick. Have him call Jim Fox “Veronica” until the Kings color man pops. The horn of comedic plenty is brimming at the very prospect.

George W. Bush makes his very first hole-in-one at Trinity Forest Golf Club—at age 72
How ever you feel about George W. Bush politically, there’s no denying he’s one hell of a huge golfer. Dubya has spoken to the U.S. Ryder Cup team before and is very involved with charities as they tie into golf—a love of the game transferred from his father, H.W. Bush, who was a big-time player, and frequent playing partner of the late great golf writer, Dan Jenkins.
That's why the news shared on Wednesday by Dubya will not only bring a smile to many golf fans faces—but it'll also provide hope for anyone who has never made a hole in one. The former president made the first ace of his life, at age 72, and he posted the picture to his Instagram account. 2019 .. what a time to be alive!
According to his caption, the hole-in-one came at the par-3 12th hole at Trinity Forest Golf Club, which will host the AT&T Byron Nelson for the second time this May, a week before the PGA Championship.

Golf hardos won’t let Houston-area chemical fire keep them from a productive range sesh
There are golfers and then there are die-hards—the rain/shine/Washington-has-fallen-but-screw-it-I-have-a-tee-time maniacs who won't let anything come between them and their hard-fought 81. In our line of work, we come across this rare breed every so often, braving volcanic eruptions and escaped Jurassic Park attractions for a couple extra hacks. These two fine (if slightly imbalanced) gentlemen, however, are perhaps the craziest yet, laughing in the face of an enormous Houston-area chemical fire earlier this week while grinding out some stingers from the 'gram. Needless to say, this photo, captured by the Houston Chronicle's Melissa Phillip at Battleground Golf Course on Tuesday, is one of the wildest sports snaps you're going to see this week, month, and possibly year.

The Loop’s not-so-expert 2019 March Madness bracket
The NCAA Tournament is here, and with it a carefully primped and prepped parade of “expert” brackets engineered in labs by men in rubber gloves with biochemistry degrees. You'll pour over these for hours—days even—until your eyes are crossed and your scrolling finger sore, but try as you might, your bracket will never live up to its studio-grade counterparts. There's just a little too much scribbling and a little too much emotion—too much crippling self-doubt and counter-productive tinkering. By the time you finally settle on a champ at 11:59 a.m. on Thursday morning, chances are your bracket will look more like a Jackson Pollock than the field of 64; a rainbow splatter of blood, ink, tears, and perhaps even other bodily fluids. So in that spirit, we here at The Loop decided to unveil our very own Not-So-Expert Bracket**, a show of solidarity with the clueless college basketball masses and a friendly reminder that losing to Jeff the IT guy year-in, year-out is supposed to be,..
The Sacramento Kings, a 3.5-point favorite, led by 25 points in the fourth quarter. They lost outright
Ezra ShawThis post is much more about an appreciation for D'Angelo Russell's performance than it is a gambling post. That said, if you had the Sacramento Kings -3.5, you might want to sit the next couple plays out. That said x2, if you're betting NBA hoop while the first four NCAA Tournament games are there for the taking, you need to be better. I for one went 2-0 on the Belmont vs. Temple game, and I have now figured out sports betting. Sorry Vegas, it's a wrap for you.
Let's break this travesty down.
The Brooklyn Nets, losers of three straight on the road, did not appear like they'd snap out of it in the first quarter on the road in Sacramento. The Kings led 38-25 at the end of the first, and while the Nets were able to cut that deficit to as little as five in the second quarter, they still trailed by eight going into halftime. You're not even close to feeling good yet if you're a Kings backer, but you're also certainly not mad being up ei..
