Eddy Chen (Eddy Chen/ABC via Getty Images)BEN AFFLECK, MATT DAMONIn the canon of bromance movies, “Good Will Hunting” is a universally-loved entry, right there with “The Sandlot,” “Brian's Song” and “Superbad.” A standing added by the real-life friendship of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the remarkable odyssey in getting their script to the silver screen. But, if this accusation regarding the latter is true, everything we know about the movie—and for that matter, male friendship—is a lie.
According to Page Six, a 1962 MIT grad claims “Good Will Hunting” was his idea. Bernhard Cohen says he met producer Chris Moore at a bakery in New York's Upper West Side in the mid-90s and made his movie pitch about a math genius janitor, asking Moore if he knew of anyone who could help complete his idea. Moore, a former classmate of Damon's who served as co-producer on “Good Will Hunting,” allegedly brought Damon to meet Moore a few days later.

A few things to consider regarding your golf bag before you sling it on the shoulder and start hoofing it.

When life gives you lemons, sell them and rent a crane. Or so goes the guiding mantra of one Turkish soccer fan, who, after being handed a 12-month stadium ban by his beloved Denizlispor FC, did what any self-respecting die-hard would: He rented a crane so he could watch his team's crucial relegation battle against Gaziantepspor from his own personal, semi-legal skybox.

Now we want to be careful about calling this man a hero. You have to be a pretty big asshole to get banned from your home stadium for a year and for all we know he was spewing vile racist garbage or taping tiny mirrors to the tips of his shoes. BUT, in the absence of any such allegations, we have to admit this the boss move of all boss moves. Police were soon on hand to remove the man from his angelic perch, but clearly his never-say-die at..

Spending your money on golf intelligently this spring.

Think of your sports' most terrifying theater—the big one at Talladega, an unblocked Lawerence Taylor, Jake Brown dropping from the damn sky. That's what Nazare is to surfing. A holy ground of trial and tempest, each year big wave surfers from around the globe gather at the Portuguese hot bed to risk life and limb in pursuit of death, demons, or, most likely, some combination of the two.
If that sounds dramatic, that's because careening down an 80-foot, ship-killing water-scraper on what essentially amounts to a toothpick is, in fact, pretty dramatic. But don't take our word for it. You won't find us within 100 yards of the Nazare breakers. Just ask Rodrigo Koxa, who laid claim to the largest wave ever surfed in the history of humankind when the footage of his November descent premiered at the World Surf League Big Wave Awards this weekend:
What you see here is a Brazilian maniac dropping into the tsunami-manifestation of Davy Jones's locker, and somehow l..

Tim BradburyI've gushed about the Sixers on this site before, at length, and I'm not sure how much more my editor would tolerate, so let me sum up in one sentence: Label-defying, possibly historical point guard, excellent and hilarious big man, quirky Europeans, J.J. Redick in his “fully cool” second stage of life, unlikely genius coach who started in Melbourne, and famous, crooked path to being actually good. They're the best. And in the second round of the NBA playoffs, starting Monday night, they're going to meet…
The Boston Celtics.
(Cue Star Wars “Imperial March” music.)
Whether or not you agree that all things related to Boston sports are inherently evil (note: they are), here are seven reasons to specifically hate the 2018 version of the Celtics.
1. Brad Stevens, their boy genius coach, is secretly out to ruin NBA basketball. He forged his success at Butler by bludgeoning his opponents with the specifically NCAA-ish pug-ugly version of the sport. You know w..

A Little Leaguer went viral for walking to home plate as slowly as humanly possible over the weekend. Was he injured? No. Was he making a statement about the plodding pace of Major League Baseball games? We wish. Turns out, he was merely told by his coach to run home as fast as possible, so he did the opposite. Obviously. Kids!

The resulting video will either warm your heart or make your blood boil. Not only does this dude robotically strut all the way home (we're assuming this was on a walk with the bases loaded), but he brushes off his coach who tries to move him along, and then he falls onto the plate for emphasis. What a showman. Check it out:

Lydia Ko, who had gone 43 starts without a win, beat Minjee Lee in a playoff to win the MEDIHEAL Championship at Lake Merced Golf Club outside San Francisco

DALY CITY, Calif. (AP) Lydia Ko hit a 3-wood to 3 feet for eagle to finish off Minjee Lee on the first hole of a playoff Sunday in the chilly LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship

Ko won her 15th LPGA Tour title and first since July 2016, a 43-event stretch marked by changes in instructors, caddies and equipment and a large weight loss.

”It’s a huge relief because people are like, `Hey, because of this you’re not winning, because of that you’re not winning. Actually, I tried to stay away from all the media and everything that was being said about me and tried to just focus on what was going on in front.”

Five days after turning 21, the New Zealander won for the third time at Lake Merced after taking the Swinging Skirts LPGA at the tree-lined layout in 2014 and 2015.

”It’s crazy because I was 3 over for the day at one stage and I said, `Hey, you’ve just got to focus and you never know what’s going to happen,”’ Ko said. ”I was able to kind of put my game together on..

AVONDALE, La. (AP) Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy played bogey-free in the alternate-shot format and closed with a 5-under 67 to win the Zurich Classic.

Horschel and Piercy surged into the lead with birdies on the 10th and 11th holes and finished with seven pars to hold off Jason Dufner and Pat Perez. Dufner missed a 14-foot birdie putt on the last hole at TPC Louisiana that would have forced a playoff.

They finished at 22-under 266.

Horschel became a two-time winner at TPC Louisiana. He captured his maiden PGA Tour title at the 2013 Zurich Classic when it was an individual tournament.

The victory was Horschel’s fifth and Piercy’s fourth. They each earned $1.04 million. The team event did not count toward the world ranking, nor did they earn an automatic invitation to the Masters. They are eligible for the Tournament of Champions next January at Kapalua.

The format changed this year to end with foursomes in the final round, allowing for more movement ..
