Today in “Why the Knicks stink”: That time they didn’t even scout Giannis Antetokounmpo

Gary DineenThe notion of the New York Knicks being a dumpster fire of a franchise is nothing new. Since the start of the 2001-2002 NBA season the team has posted just two winning records (one of which was 42-40) and won one playoff series. ONE! As a disgruntled supporter of the orange and blue, I'd like to say the Knicks have been cursed with bad luck. But that couldn't be further from the truth of why this team has been so pathetic for so long.
To put it mildly, the Knicks have brought this extended wretchedness on themselves through horrendous player evaluation (Drafting Frederic Weis 15th over Ron Artest in 1999 kicked off a series of dumb draft mistakes), overpaying players (I loved Alan Houston as much as anyone, but a MAX contract?!) overtrading assets for selfish players (Hi, Stephon Marbury and Carmelo Anthony), and giving away prized possessions like Kristaps Porzingis last week.
I was just getting over the loss of New York's Latvian savior when I came across th..

Web.com Tour rookie draws attention—for looking a lot like Rory McIlroy

Meet Max Greyserman, a 23-year-old golfer who has apparently been drawing plenty of attention in his rookie season on the Web.com Tour. Not for his play—although, that has picked up of late with a T-18 and a T-53 after missing the cut in his first two starts—but for his appearance. More specifically, the dude is a Rory McIlroy doppelgänger.

Check out this tweet from Golf Channel's Brentley Romine:

The fact that Max wears Nike apparel isn't helping matters. They're also both listed at 5-foot-10 and within 10 pounds of each other in their official tour profiles. Of course, with all doppelgängers there are photos that look nothing alike, but this next one is not one of those:

Yoenis Cespedes shows up to Spring Training looking HEFTY, Mets Twitter drags him accordingly

As we noted on Tuesday, February provides one of the most underrated sports content opportunities of the year: Spring Training arrivals. About 99.9-percent of these arrivals are framed in a positive light, just as we did with Alex Bregman's A+ farmer's tan. Leave it to the New York Mets to provide an arrival that falls firmly in the .01-percent section.

For some reason, SNY, the cable network that broadcasts the Mets' games, decided to set themselves up for failure (as the Mets tend to do) by tweeting out video of Yoenis Cespedes' arrival on Wednesday. There are many problems with this, starting with the fact that Cespdedes has played in half of the Mets' games since signing his four-year, $110-million contract in 2016. And that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon, as Cespedes had season-ending heel surgeries last July. Yes, that is plural surgeries, which will hopefully..

President Trump installed his own $50,000 golf simulator in the White House

Ian MacNicol(Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)President Trump gets his share of golf in, making over 150 trips to his courses since taking office in 2017. But those visits are mostly confined to the weekends, and the Washington, D.C. weather is not conducive to working on one's game in the winter.
So Trump did what any hacker with means would do: he installed his own simulator in the White House.
According to the Washington Post, Trump recently put in a $50,000 Trackman golf simulator in his personal quarters. A White House official told the Post Trump paid for the simulator out of his own pocket.
The Post's story coincides with an Axios report around Trump's “Executive Time,” which accounts for 60 percent of his scheduled hours. Axios said that Trump usually did not leave his residence for the Oval Office until about 11 a.m.
Now, before you go connecting the dots, a White House official said Trump has not used the simulator since it was installed. Which, hey, we get r..

You can golf, search for Big Foot and go on an alien excursion with Jose Canseco this Valentine’s Day

David Becker(Photo by David Becker/Getty Images)Searching for a last-second Valentine's Day gift? Buddy, Cupid has answered your prayers, and answered with vigor.
For those not following him on the hellscape that is Twitter, former MVP and human-hot-dog-who-has-been-left-on-the-gas-station-metal-roller-too-long Jose Canseco has been aggressively pitching a love-filled excursion this holiday weekend. And what does this romantic getaway entail? Perhaps scintillating stories about his past soirees with Jenna Jameson and Madonna? Or tips on how to become a best-selling author? Maybe even a detailed breakdown of how Tony La Russa turned a blind eye to the juicing ways of the late-'80s Oakland A's?
No no, my friend; Canseco is cooking up something special just for you: a little golf, mixed with a search for Big Foot and aliens.
Yep.

Did Duke top the program’s most-famous comeback against Louisville on Tuesday? (Yes, they did)

Joe RobbinsWhen you're Duke, at least the Duke of the last five to 10 years, you're supposed to win almost every game, get upset a couple of times and then see what happens in March. It's an unfair aspect of the sport, but it's one that also makes it great. Because of that, the regular season rarely produces any memorable games anymore.
But Duke, especially this Duke team, has had a way of transforming the mundane into must-see TV. Whether it's a Zion Williamson dunk, or an insanely athletic block, a buzzer-beating three by Cam Reddish on the road at Florida State or a pair of impressive wins over an unbelievable Virginia team, the '18-19 Blue Devils squad could be one we'll remember for years to come.
And on Tuesday night Duke came up with its signature victory, overcoming a 23-point deficit to beat Louisville on the road and improve their record to 22-2. But this wasn't just any old 23-point comeback (a deficit multiple NBA teams erased last we..

Enjoy the apocalypse in style with this spectacular $18 million Vegas bomb shelter

An often overlooked aspect of preparing for the apocalypse are activities. Sure, you can stock up on all the Spaghettios you want, but what are you going to do to pass the time when the end of the world comes? Well, other than stuffing your face with Spaghettios.
But a spectacular bunker in Las Vegas that has been put on the market solves that problem in a variety of ways. Most notably with a pool and a putting green. And the price of turning a potential doomsday scenario into a great time—At least, until you run out of Spaghettios. And water—is $18 million.

Forbes recently brought attention to this one-of-a-kind listing that's located beneath a townhouse two miles east of the Vegas Strip and known as the Las Vegas Underground House. However, calling it a “house,” is quite the undersell. Made out of concrete and steel and built 26 feet beneath the ground's surface, the property is a massive 14,620 square fee..
