Apparently the drama surrounding Jimmy Butler and the Minnesota Timberwolves is Mark Wahlberg’s fault

GONZALO/Bauer-Griffin(Photo by GONZALO/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)After his trade demands weren't met, NBA guard Jimmy Butler had an interesting return to practice on Wednesday, screaming “You f—ing need me!” and “You can't win without me!” to his Minnesota Timberwolves' teammates. So yeah, things are off to an auspicious start in the Twin Cities.
If such brutal commentary from a player few would claim is a top-10 performer in the league is a surprise, well, it shouldn't. Despite his on-the-court talents, Butler's career has been somewhat hampered by his reputation, or lack thereof. It's why the Chicago Bulls dealt him for pennies on the dollar, and partially why no team has ponied up anything of substance in trade talks with Minnesota.
In itself, not much of a narrative; the Internet doesn't have enough space for “This athlete is a drama queen” pieces. What makes Butler's tale riveting, however, is that his persona has been attributed to, of all pe..

How this Asian Tour pro kept his cool during this hilarious caddie prank is nothing short of miraculous

When it comes to prank videos, the European Tour and Skratch go toe-to-toe, pumping out instant classics like the awkward TV reporter prank by the Euro Tour or the PGA Tour rookies prank from Skratch. What makes them so funny is the slight chance that one of the tour pros being pranked might lose their cool, take it the wrong way and flip out on whoever is doing the pranking.

Skratch captured that exact feeling for the viewer perfectly in their latest video, in which Asian Tour rookie Tom Johnson is told he's getting a replacement caddie for a practice round since his caddie called in sick. Unbeknownst to Johnson, the caddie is actually an actor named Chris, who claimed he used to caddie for 13-time Asian Tour winner Thongchai Jaidee. Watch the video below, which is worth all four minutes of your time, as Chris gives a performance for the ages and Johnson miraculously tries to stay cal..

Why the Atlanta Hawks will be one of the NBA’s most fun teams to watch (HINT: Trae Young)

Brian BabineauSomeday, there may be books written about the NBA draft night trade that resulted in 5th pick Trae Young going to Atlanta and 3rd pick Luka Doncic winding up in Dallas. The general consensus is that the Mavericks wound up with the better player, a versatile European player who will emerge as the face of the team with Dirk Nowitzki in his final season. But Young, who is often compared to two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, has a chance to be something special as well. And at the very least, there's no chance he won't be one of the league's most entertaining players.

Young proved that in a Wednesday night preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. With the game tied at 127 in the closing seconds, he launched a Curry-esque rainbow from over 30 feet and drilled it. Look at this RANGE!

Red Sox fan wakes up from surgery, immediately starts smack-talking the Yankees

Sox-Yankees is done, dusted, finished. This is great news for people like me, who see the Red Sox and Yankees as the different sides of the same privileged sports coin, but more importantly this man—a die-hard Red Sox fan who woke up from surgery this week to find out that his beloved team had ended their hated rivals' season on their turf. His instinct wasn't to celebrate, however. No, no. Per the proud Fenway tradition, it was instead to talk some shit, which, grogginess aside, he did with aplomb. Take it away, chief.

If you're a Yankee hater, you're probably rolling on this video like a dog on a dead fish. “The Yankees are everything that's wrong with sports,” he says. “It's important to me that the Yankees' season ended in a horrible way,” he elaborates. He thanks God, because obviously God couldn't be a Yankees fan…could he? They tell you to prepare for brutal honesty from people who..

Justin Rose is arguably the world’s best golfer, but clearly the world’s best tournament host

Justin Rose has a chance to officially hold the title of world's best golfer again this week. No matter how he plays, though, he's already established himself as the tournament host with the most.

Playing this ceremonial role at the European Tour's British Masters, Rose began the week by leaving tasty gifts at each player's locker.

Tasty is an understatement. Seriously, if you haven't had a Cadbury milk chocolate bar in the UK, it's worth a transatlantic flight. I've been told there's something the Brits are allowed to do with the milk that regulations prevent in the U.S. and whatever it is. . . wow. Just wow.
Anyway, apparently this melt-in-your-mouth chocolate goodness wasn't enough for one player. Eddie Pepperell responded to Rose with a rather specific request:

Natural Light has a 77-pack now…and it costs less than a box of Pro V1s

Ladies and gentleman, esteemed colleagues and valued peers, gather round. We have news. Joyous, hopeful news: Natural Light, proud purveyors of liquid somewhat resembling beer, have rolled out the world's first-ever 77 pack to Maryland students ahead of this weekend's homecoming. The keg is dead, long live the keg:

To make matters even more ridiculous, Natty Light is selling this bad boy for a very cool $30.99 (Rovell prices it at $34.99 above, but both BroBible and Whiskey Riff have confirmed a SRP of $30.99). That's roughly 40 cents a beer, which Anheuser Busch brews by wringing out brewery mops into aluminum cans. Unfortunately for the rest of America's card-carrying townies and college degenerates, the 77-can chugzilla is exclusive to College Park for now, but nonetheless a few in-the-wild sightings are starting to trickle in. Gotta love that “Warning: You May Need a Spotter” ba..
