An anatomy of Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka’s “truce” video

You might have never imagined that a PGA Tour announcement video for the Jack Nicklaus trophy posted straight to Twitter on a Tuesday afternoon would be must-see TV. You might have thought you'd rather scoop your eyeballs out with spoons than watch DJ and Koepka do PR for an award that's not even going to bump the Wanamaker from the mantle. But this is 2018 and let's just say things have changed. So whether you're a lover or a fighter, a skeptic or conspiracy theorist, join us as we analyze the most over-analyzed video in golf frame by excruciating frame. He-Man, Man-Hulk. Take it away gentleman.

Swiss freeskier Andri Ragettli has the craziest (and funnest) workout ever

Alexander HassensteinThe Swiss freeskiing team don't do anything conventionally. Not skiing, not escalators, and certainly not workouts.

If you're wondering what goes into becoming the first human being to land a quad cork 1800 (that's FOUR vertical inversion and FIVE horizontal rotations), the answer as it turns out is repetition, repetition, repetition. It took Ragettli a whopping 53 tries to put this whole routine together, and that's mostly for fun. Now imagine what his focus levels must be like when he actually drops in…and then pop three Advil and ask yourself why you can't even be bothered to take the air conditioner out of the window in October.
