Racist slumlord Donald Sterling is long gone, as are the talented-but-troubled trio of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. There's possibly a new arena on the horizon, and the team has a truckload of assets and cap space heading into one of the most prized free agencies in league history.
But, at their heart, they are still the Clippers. And, as this video shows, Clips gonna Clip.

Considering how precise the Rules of Golf are in so many areas, the fact that there's vagueness with 'backstopping' is something that needs to be fixed

While the Little League season is still a dream in snow-covered parts of the country, it started with quite a bang in St. Louis. Playing in his season opener on Saturday, seven-year-old Tommy Morrissey hit a home run that has now made the rounds, including on ESPN. So what's the big deal about this particular dinger? Young Tommy hit it using only his left arm.
Golf fans should be familiar with the name of the kid who has developed the reputation of a prodigy despite being born without part of his right arm. Morrissey hit a ceremonial tee shot at a PGA Tour event when he was five and he's impressed superstars from Bryson DeChambeau to Tiger Woods. He also nearly made a hole-in-one at Pinehurst's par 3 course this past summer.

Morrissey recently wrote to a fan on Twitter, “Thank you so much but my parents never told me I am disabled. That’s the key. I didn’t realize I was labeled that until I hea..

Optics and stigmas and past failures be damned. Dustin Johnson is a golf savant, and the brightest star in the sport's galaxy.

It's been less than two months since Wesley Bryan underwent surgery to fix a torn left labrum, but the 28-year-old PGA Tour pro has already resumed practicing. With his good shoulder, at least.
PODCAST: Wesley Bryan on making Jim Nantz cringe and his go-to Taco Bell order
On Monday, Bryan posted a video of him practicing his chipping, and, let's just say he could actually tie one arm behind his back and still beat you at golf. Easily. Check out this spiffy one-handed highlight:

Of course, this kind of a challenge is a bit unfair considering Bryan's background. Before becoming a winner on both the Web.com Tour and PGA Tour, Wes was half of the trick-shot tandem the Bryan Bros with his older brother, George.

So saying Wesley has elite hand-eye skills would be underselling it. In any event, Wesley said last month he hopes to return to the PGA Tour later this year. But by the looks of it, his short game is already in mid-seas..

Golf notes: Why Tony Finau was allowed to change his score in Mexico; an amazing statistic involving Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we only need to look at the Academy Awards to see just how toothless golf’s new rules have become. Last year, the USGA limited the use of green books and now, just a few months later a movie called “GREEN BOOK” wins the Oscar for Best Picture?! Talk about the Academy just flaunting its power in the face of golf’s governing bodies.
FacebookPinterestKeyur KhamarThis is all to say the rules were a big topic of conversation once again this week. As was the destruction of actual greens. Sigh. But there was a lot of good going on in the game as well, and all the caddies at a PGA Tour event in Mexico were properly paid this time (we think). Anyway, let’s get to it.
