The Web.com Tour extended a special invitation to the Club Pro Guy for its Kansas City event, making his followers incredibly happy

One-handed rakes, punch-out club twirls and Mexican drug cartel run-ins appear like they're coming to the Web.com Tour's Kansas City event in a few weeks. The tour announced on Wednesday that they have extended a special exemption into next week's KC Golf Classic's Monday qualifier to the Club Pro Guy, one of the best follows in golf social media.
Any golfer on social media likely follows the Club Pro Guy, a hilarious parody account run anonymously but has accumulated 60,000 followers for his dead-on humor about all things golf. The former Mexican mini-tour star has appeared on the Golf Channel a handful of times, in the pages of Golf Digest and on podcasts like No Laying Up and the Tour Junkies. But every time, he's managed to keep his identity unknown—with the Golf Channel blurring out his face. If Club Pro Guy does, in fact, take up the Web.com Tour on this offer, he'll be showing his face in public. And we're sure folks will share it on social med..

Just a heads up that the Internet got it wrong about a supposed ninja shortage

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: We, as a planet, have plenty of ninjas. Loads of ninjas. Too many ninjas, probably, enough that we got bored teaching the ancient silent death arts to humans and began spawning mutant turtles, just for something to do. Enough that we invented a game show in which people equate a 500-year-old Eastern legend with flinging themselves over elevated monkey bars in downtown Tulsa. Rest assured that tonight, when you rest your noggin on your memory foam pillow, you live in a world stuffed to the brim with three things: Yankees closers, people who are easily duped by Sacha Baron Cohen, and ninjas.
But here’s the bad news: Despite having been fooled seven billion times in the last four days, the internet jumped on an
awesome-sounding headline, got the story totally 100% wrong and will pay for it by preeeeeeeeetty much doing the same shit the next time Ken Bone shows up or a douche-looking guy appears to steal a foul ball from an adorable moppet. (And here let me pause to s..

This designer gave NHL stars some sweet vintage salad and we can’t get enough

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, it's the dead of summer. The last thing that should be on our minds is a bunch of dudes who say “about” kind of funny zinging around a sheet of ice on lace-up razor blades. Bikini season and whether or not Tiger can make a run at Bellerive? Sure, but not hockey. Anything but hockey.
And yet, here we are, dreaming of cool nights and center ice fights…and it's all Joey Tang's fault. Joey is a designer and, from the looks of things, a pretty damn good one. This week he teamed up with BarDown (think The Loop, only with gravy on their fries) to launch a series of mockey cards that feature today's biggest stars rocking flow and facial hair plucked straight out of Doc Brown's DeLorean, and we are unsurprisingly obsessed. Get a load of these apples, Warhol:

Dwight Howard’s “joke” sums up why Dwight Howard is the worst

Ned Dishman(Photo by Ned Dishman/NBAE via Getty Images)More than any major professional sporting association, the NBA is a communal league. It's a sentiment that's bothered some, that the players are too chummy with each other, although the NBA's skyrocketing growth and engagement in the past decade proves it's certainly not a detriment. However, while there is a “band of brothers” mindset on the hardwood, not all players are invited into the breech. We're, of course, talking about Dwight Howard.
In covering the league for a few years, no player drew as many eye-rolls as the All-Star center. Not hatred, mind you. You have to have a certain level of respect to be despised, which Howard didn't possess. He is exasperating and vexing, and carries himself with an undeserved sense of accomplishment. Like mixing the DNA of an annoying younger brother with Spaulding Smails from “Caddyshack.” How else can you explain why he's been on six teams (seven if you co..

Fire alarm spoils another potential no-hitter for the St. Louis Cardinals

Jamie SabauJust when you think you've seen everything there is to see on a Major League Baseball field, the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds meet up in late July. Normally, you'd gloss over this series on the schedule, or fall asleep just looking at it. But so far it has provided a pair of wildly odd games that have each included a potential no-hitter.

On Monday night, Cardinals rookie pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon pitched seven no-hit innings in his MLB debut before being pulled at 116 pitches. The sensational start came 14 months after Poncedeleon was struck in the head with a line drive in a Triple-A game, suffering a severe injury that forced him to undergo brain surgery. After recovering, he progressed well enough in Triple-A to earn a call up for Monday night's game, when he became the fifth pitcher since 1961 to carry a no-hit bid through seven innings in his MLB debut. Unfortunately, the Ca..
