Tiger Woods plays prank on former Ryder Cup opponent with a cruel reminder of their match at Brookline
Tiger Woods can bust chops with the best of them. This week at the Ryder Cup, a former opponent was on the business end of one those jabs.
Andrew Coltart's lone career appearance in the Ryder Cup was not one fondly remembered, as he played only once during the 1999 event at Brookline. That match happened to be a Sunday singles battle with Woods, which coincided with the Americans' famous comeback on the Boston confines. Coltart, who is at Le Golf National this week for SkySports as a commentator, was reminded of how that bout transpired thanks to a gift from Woods, which commemorated Tiger's 3&2 victory:

SkySports captured video of the gift's “presentation” from Woods to Coltart, which you can watch here. The 2018 Ryder Cup doesn't start until Friday morning, but count this as an early point for Team USA.

The Hartford Whalers are back!…sort of
The Hartford Whalers are cream of the hockey hipster crop. They are the archetypal example of a once-proud hockey haven that the NHL uprooted and shipped south. Their story is rife with nostalgia and sorrow. They have a killer jersey-logo combo that still looks great splattered across the front of a New Era. For years hockey fans have clamored for their return, and on Thursday they finally got their wish…well, sort of.

That's right, the Carolina Hurricanes—formerly the Hartford Whalers, ICYDK—are dusting off the mean greens on December 23rd for a “local” rivalry game with the Boston Bruins. Part of “Whalers Night,” the Adidas alternates are modeled after the Whalers' iconic 1985-89 look, including that unmistakable whale's tale dubya proudly emblazoned on the chest:

Penguins fans photoshop Gritty into random stock images to horrifying effect
If you've yet to fall head over heels for the Philadelphia Flyers' new mascot Gritty, it's time to open yourself up to love. The huggable orange monstrosity has captured the hearts, minds, and memes of sports fans everywhere since his emergence on Monday, blossoming into a viral sensation seemingly overnight. He's fuzzy and likes dancing. He doesn't know how ice works. He watches Always Sunny just like you and me. He is the greatest thing to happen to hockey since the nixing of the two-line pass and he deserves our collective and undying affection.
But if there's one cultural cesspool that will always refuse to accept Gritty for who he is—one fanbase who will stop at nothing to shine a light on his dark past—it's that of dreaded cross-state rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins. In an attempt to Milkshake Duck Gritty in almost record time, on Wednesday Steel City agitators Benstonium began photoshopping Gritty into previously Gritty-less stock images and th..
Lakers Ukrainian rookie drills 20 straight 3s in practice, instantly becomes LeBron’s secret weapon
Despite him hitting a billion clutch shots in his career, a few of which came during last year's NBA Playoffs, the knock on LeBron James is that he's always been too passive with the ball. The point this argument misses is that that it's often a good thing, because James' passing usually sets up his teammates with a wide open shot due to the attention he draws.

What was particularly frustrating to watch about this so called “passiveness” earlier this summer was that the guys James was passing to could not hit a shot to save their life. Kyle Korver, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, you can go down the whole list, they all came up small.
Well, LeBron, have no fear, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk is here. Who is Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, you ask? He's the Lakers Ukrainian rookie they drafted in the second round out of Kansas, and he made it rain in practice on Wednesday, hitting 20 consecutive threes. Sure, t..
