Bryson DeChambeau doesn't like golf's new drop rule. “That you have to drop it from knee height is a bit absurd, unfortunately,” he said.

LaVar Ball shows off silky jump shot…just kidding he bricked or airballed seven in a row
It's been nice to see LaVar Ball quietly fade away from the limelight. Whether that was by his own doing or someone got in his ear (definitely the latter), it's good for all involved, his kids, the Lakers, etc. The last thing anyone wants is him to return to his yapping ways, so you won't find us ever calling attention to anything he does.
EXCEPT when he shows off that jump shot he's run his mouth about so many times before and it goes horribly wrong. Following one of LaMelo Ball's recent high school games (he's back in high school, right?), LaVar got up a few threes and he looked like a combination of Reggie Miller and Ray Allen draining them from deep. Just kidding, he bricked or airballed seven in a row. Seven! Not kidding:

Burger King bathroom survivor sues after having free lifetime Whopper privileges taken away
GABRIEL BOUYSAn Oregon man who survived a harrowing ordeal in a Burger King restroom is now suing the restaurant. It's just not for what you think.

After being locked inside the single-stall fast-food restroom for more than an hour — which sounds like the plot of Netflix's horror film follow-up to Bird Box — 50-year-old Curtis Bronner was promised free food for life at the Portland-area establishment he often frequents, according to The Oregonian.
“It’s the kind of place where you hold your breath: Go in and get out of there as fast as you can,” Brooner told The Oregonian of the incident that required a locksmith to free him. “That wasn’t an option for me.”
Talk about a nightmare. But after Bronner went to BK for lunch the next 13 of 15 days (only skipping Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when he presumably goes to White Castle instead), the restaurant refused to let him eat on the house anymore. Apparently, Bro..
Charles Barkley’s latest “guarantee” would bring great joy to Golden State Warriors haters
Charles Barkley has never and will never shy away from a bold take. Whether it's a brutally honest assessment of what could stop the Golden State Warriors, an odd roast of Kevin Durant after a 51-point performance, or straight up telling a small child he was going to punch him in his left eye, the guy has turned saying exactly what's on his mind into an art form.

The thing is, in the midst of all his wackiness, his actual basketball takes are often insightful and serious. That goes for all the guys on the NBA on TNT. When they actually talk basketball, people listen. Unfortunately, some of the social media attention goes to Chuck's “guarantees,” which can sometimes be both weak and mathematically-challenged. However, his latest guarantee was neither weak, nor mathematically-challenged, and it would be a welcome sight to NBA fans, specifically those who have had enough of the Golden State Warriors:

The internet’s best reactions to Bryson DeChambeau putting with the pin in
Sam GreenwoodIf you thought 2018 was the Year of Bryson, think again haterz. We're only four days into 2019, and the artist formerly known as the mad scientist is already back with a vengeance, making good on his research-driven pledge to leave the flagstick in while putting this season. On Thursday, the impressively fickle golf internet got their first glimpse of the percentage of a percentage-altering approach, and despite Bryson DeChambeau leading the Sentry TOC field in strokes gained putting on his way to a 4-under 69, there were still plenty of lukewarm takes to go around. But in the immortal words of LeVar Burton, don't take our word for it…

Golf cop Joel Dahmen now going after the NBA for not enforcing rules
Streeter LeckaThere are two types of people in this world: Those who follow the rules and those who break them…and Joel Dahmen is a card-carrying chapter president of the former. You may remember Joel from his 25-minute on-course saga at the Quicken Loans National last summer, where he accused Sung Kang of lying about his ball crossing a lateral hazard and then subsequently taking a bad drop that he believed should have never been awarded in the first place. After the round, he clarified his position on Twitter while presumably ironing pleats into his khakis:

Needless to say, when it comes to the Integrity of the Game™, the man is not playing around. Not content to simply take on the heathen cesspool that is the PGA Tour, however, on Thursday night Dahmen set his sights on even greater foe—the NBA. DRAIN. THE. SWAMP! DRAIN. THE. SWAMP!
