Tiger Woods hopes to get his year off to a strong start at this week's Farmers Insurance Open. The event is held at Torrey Pines, a place Tiger Woods has “owned” throughout his entire career, picking up eight wins, including his last major title at the 2008 U.S. Open. But while he's been able to sum up magical moments almost at will at the San Diego public course, it appears his powers don't extend to pizza.
GAMBLING: Tiger Woods one of the betting favorites to win at Torrey Pines
In a video that went viral on Wednesday night, Woods is shown being denied a slice during the tournament's pro-am. And the 14-time major champ handles it remarkably well. KUSI's Brandon Stone was all over the Tiger food beat, first posting the funny video:

Turns out, the reason why Woods was denied a slice was simply do to bad timing. ..

After starting the season 13-7, the Detroit Pistons have struggled in a big way over the last two months. Since December 3, the Pistons have gone 8-19, failing to piece together a winning streak longer than two games along the way, and they only did that once. The most frustrating part for star power forward Blake Griffin has been Detroit's inability to win close games. Five of those 19 losses since December 3 have come by three points or less.

On Wednesday, the Pistons were finally on the right end of a close game, beating the New Orleans Pelicans on the road 98-94. Griffin had one of his best games of the season, scoring 37 points on 14-for-28 shooting and adding nine boards and seven assists. It was Detroit's third win in its last five games, as they try to get back on track and in the playoff picture. Cause for celebration, right? Yeah, not so much.
As the clear star of the game, Grif..

Dilip VishwanatNothing breeds contempt faster than success. Back in 2015, the Chicago Cubs were lovable, plucky losers—an up-and-coming team with a cool-dad manager and a roster stacked with exciting young talent vying to overcome the cruel injustices of the universe. Fast forward three years (and one World Series championship), and the Cubs have become a bandwagon underachiever for fans who are suddenly so obnoxious they're not even allowed into bars in their own city anymore.
Or at least that's the case with new South Side speakeasy The Hyde, which—in addition to banning cell phones and MAGA hats and like 1,000 other things—has also placed a moratorium on guests who feel like letting their Cubs fan fly.
FacebookPinterestPart of the reason for this stipulation, is that The Hyde is located smack dab in the heart of whatever's left of White Sox territory. The rest is international speakeasy dress code, which requires all patrons to dress like Peaky Blinders extras, not No..

Nick LahamWith the announcement that Mariano Rivera became the first unanimous selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, anyone and everyone is telling their favorite Mo story. Former teammates, opponents, writers and athletes from other sports are all getting in the mix, as expected for a legend like Mariano, the greatest closer in MLB history. While each story is great, some are much better than others.
The best so far has come from Michael Young, a seven-time All-Star who spent the majority of his career with the Texas Rangers. From 2000-2012 Young played all over the infield in Texas, but most of his years came at shortstop after Alex Rodriguez went to the New York Yankees. Playing in the American League, Young saw plenty of Rivera in his career, including in the 2010 ALCS, which the Rangers won 4-2. Between 2001 and 2011, Young faced Rivera 24 times and had eight hits, only one of them extra bases, and three RBIs, per MLB.com. His career .333 average vs. Mo is as respecta..
