A visual history of The Rock’s (truly, utterly) ridiculous cheat meals

If you follow The Rock on Instagram (and if you don't, why do you even have Instagram?), you know the one thing Mr. Dwayne Johnson loves more than pumping iron (and talking about Mr. Dwayne Johnson) is eating. But The Rock doesn't eat like most normal humans because, let's be honest, he's not like most normal humans. Most of the time Johnson can be found woofing down 5,000+ calories of chicken, eggs, and fish over the course of SEVEN daily meals, but every now and then he cheats. We're not talking about a Reese's from the office candy jar, however. We're talking about some of the most daunting slabs of food ever placed in front a single human being, and thankfully for us mere mortals, he documents each soul-soothing pile in vivid, mouth-watering detail. So grab your forks repurposed snow shovels and join us for a culinary journey unlike any other.

This Google ad starring Macaulay Culkin will make you drop everything you’re doing to watch “Home Alone”

Anything and everything is being remade these days, and it's all equally terrible. We all saw those still images from the live-action remake of Aladdin on Wednesday and you're lying to yourself if they didn't make you feel sick. If I was Aladdin, my first wish to the Genie would be for everyone to STOP remaking every movie and TV show.
However, when it's done right, and by right I mean in one-minute, commercial form, it can be excellent. Case in point, Google's newest ad for the Google assistant, which stars Macaulay Culkin reprising his role as Kevin McCallister in “Home Alone”:

Knee-jerk review:
FacebookPinterestJust how good is this commercial? Take look at the social media reaction. Twitter is a place where you could save a scared, stray dog that was wandering into oncoming traffic and people would say things like “how dare you not allow the dog to make its OWN decisions” or “nice job putting everyone&#0..

The Loop’s 2018 Golf Festivus

If you can remember a crazier year in golf, you’re probably a hell of a lot older than I am. Patrick Reed captured both the green jacket and the purple asshat. Bryson became our country’s last believer in science. Tiger finally won again . . . only to lose a $9 million dollar PPV face-off with Phil Mickelson in Las Vegas a month later. If you read 1984 and found yourself wondering what golf would look like in its bleak, post-everything dystopia, well, now you know.
So in that spirit, we are reviving last year's non-award winning Sports Festivus like Frank Costanza in the steamy storefront of H&H Bagel—only this time with 500% more large men hitting tiny balls with sticks. From cheaters and tweeters to big hitters and minuscule misses, this is your home for the weirdest (and worst) moments in golf, because when it comes to Festivus, there is but one tradition:
Gathering your friends and family around to tell them ALL THE WAYS THEY HAVE DISAPPOINTED YOU IN THE LAST YEAR.

Darts player makes late submission for cockiest celebration of the year

Last month, we brought attention to one of the most electric play-by-play calls in sports you'll hear all year, and it came from the Grand Slam of Darts, of all places. The call was so great that it made my coworker Alex Myers see the light, that light being the fact that darts is the best sport on TV that you're not watching.
That fact was proved to be true once again on Tuesday during the 2019 World Darts Championship, which began December 13 and will run through January 1 at the Alexandra Palace, better known as the Ally Pally. This time it wasn't a play-by-play call that was the highlight, though the call is great too, but what might be the cockiest celebration of 2018 in sports. Here it is from Ricky Evans in all its glory:

SENSATIONAL darts from Evans indeed. For those wondering, Evans had 304 points remaining in leg three of the fourth set, and quickly knocked that down to 124 with three triple 20s, which ..

Richard Jefferson told the quintessential Kobe Bryant story during the Lakers-Nets game

Andrew D. BernsteinKobe Bryant is without a doubt one of the top 15 NBA players of all time, and I personally believe he's in the top 10, but apparently that ruffles some feathers these days. The over-the-top social media slander has clouded people's judgement of his career, and the Kobe “stans” do the discussion no favors when they make outlandish claims about their guy.
RELATED: If this crazy story is true, Kobe Bryant showed absolutely no mercy — even to sharks
That being said, there is no denying that he was the greatest ball hog in league history. Some years he had to be, and earned the right to be, other years, like his last few, he was just chucking for the sake of chucking. The ball hoggery was so natural to Kobe that, according to Richard Jefferson, Bryant once convinced officials to give him a shooting foul because of said hoggery. Jefferson, who is now an analyst on the YES Network, was reminded of the Kobe story when there was a questionable shooting foul during t..

Zion Williamson is now taking on backboards with his head

Grant HalversonDURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA – DECEMBER 18: Zion Williamson #1 of the Duke Blue Devils drives against Myles Stephens #12 of the Princeton Tigers during the second half of their game at Cameron Indoor Stadium on December 18, 2018 in Durham, North Carolina. Duke won 101-50. (Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images)Zion Williamson has already shown zero regard for human life, at least if said humans stand in the way of a highlight. That mentality apparently applies to himself.
Williamson, known for dunking with the authority that most high schoolers have on a Little Tykes' hoop, went up, up and away in a game against Princeton on Tuesday night. So high, in fact, that Williamson almost knocked himself out by hitting his head on the backboard.

Listen, we know LeBron James has been rumored to revive Space Jam for quite some time, but if a reboot happens, make sure Zion i..
