The Internet’s best show, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, just came to Netflix

Thanks to his eponymous television program, Jerry Seinfeld is worth, oh, a billion dollars. (No, seriously.) Given the moolah he continues to rake in from syndication, no one would blame the 63-year-old if he retired to a life of Mets games and curating his world famous car collection.
And yet, he remains active on the standup scene, routinely working weekends in theaters and clubs. Moreover, he's managed to cobble together some of his passions — automobiles, coffee, and talking comedy — into a web show, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. One that's arguably the best damn show on the Internet.
If your only conduit to Seinfeld is Seinfeld, you may be in for a surprise, as the program's not built in a sitcom, joke-a-second framework. Rather, it's a free-flowing, half-baked discussion between Seinfeld and his guest, most of whom are comedians but occasionally are actors, media types and even President Obama. But, unlike a talk-show format where the audience is seated ..

Big Sean rocks fire Tiger shirt on Hawaii vacay

Want to see the best t-shirt in the history of time, space, and probably some other concept we haven't even invented a word for yet? Well, you're in luck, fellow dude with a Leaning Tower of Pisa of ridiculous graphic tees currently teetering in the closet, because this week Big Sean checked in from a little Hawaii getaway and The Loop's style police immediately picked up on his A++++ choice of tropical attire:

Now, our fashion GPS is still recalculating after seeing Rickie going full Magnum PI at Kapalua on Thursday, but if our unworthy eyeholes are functioning properly, this appears to be the GOAT of GOAT shirts—a perfect, Windows 98-inspired tribute to the man, the myth, the Tiger. Where can you cop it? We're still working on that, but if Sean Don is anything like us, you're going to have to pry it off his cold, dead body.
P.S. Sean, if you ever want to flip that thing on eBay, give us a ring. We know some co-workers customers who mi..

Jeopardy! filming on hiatus as Alex Trebek recovers from brain surgery

Alex Trebek has been filling our heads with trivia as the host of Jeopardy! for more than three decades. But over the holiday break, Trebek had to attend to his own noggin, undergoing surgery to remove blood clots in his brain.
The good news is that Trebek, 77, is expected to make a full recovery. And yes, the show will go on.
RELATED: Watch a Naval officer win an episode of Jeopardy! with $1
According to Deadline, filming is on hiatus for now, but fans won't be able to notice because episodes are taped months in advance (Side note: Keeping it secret that you've won on Jeopardy! has to be one of the hardest things in the world) and Trebek, who underwent his successful operation on Dec. 16, is expected to be back in studio by the end of January. So to all the vultures out there, don't bother sending in your resume. Trebek, thankfully, isn't going anywhere just yet.
The show's Facebook page shared this video message from Trebek on Thursday in which he revealed hi..

Chris Paul may have actually broken David West’s ankles with this filthy crossover

Basketball's “He broke his ankles!” might be the most loosely thrown around sports term out there, but it actually almost happened on Thursday night. Like, for real. A series of filthy Chris Paul moves shook David West so badly that he had to leave the game moments later with an injured ankle. Check it out:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BdjXKy8hOhe/
Wow, that's nasty. And embarrassing. And as the captain of the Chris Paul fan club, I demand that we see it again!

Of course, to perfectly pull off such a devastating play, two things have to happen after you make your defender completely lose his balance:
Make the shot. (Check)Stare him down after it goes in. (Check)RELATED: Chris Paul has proof Barack Obama enjoys trash-talking
As embarrassed as West was, the 37-year-old vet has to take some solace in the fact that Paul had already done this to Golden State rookie and ballyhooed defender Jordan Bell earlier in the game:

Marc Leishman finds purpose through wife’s near tragedy

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) Marc Leishman picked the wrong bar and wound up with the right girl.

He was a young Australian trying to make his way in American golf. That meant spending most of 2007 driving from one city to the next for Monday qualifiers on the PGA Tour’s developmental circuit. He rolled into Williamsburg, Virginia, one weekend and decided to go for a beer.

”There weren’t many people in the bar,” he said, smiling at the memory. ”It wasn’t a great bar.”

Article continues below …

But he saw a young woman across the way, walked over to her and asked her where the best places were in town. They hit it off. And when Leishman missed out on qualifying for the tournament, he chose to stay in town because of Audrey Hills, a student at William & Mary.

”I lived out of hotels,” he said. ”I’d be in a Motel 6 or a Super 8. You spend as little as possible. If you miss the qualifier, if it was a good town you’d stay there. If it was not a great town, you’d go to the next one and loo..

The Internet was obsessed with Rickie Fowler’s choice of attire at Kapalua

We knew heading into this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions that Rickie Fowler was going to help Puma launch its new Aloha apparel collection while playing in Hawaii. What we didn’t necessarily know is the wild reaction he would get while playing the first round Thursday at the Plantation course at Kapalua in the new threads.
Suffice it to say, Fowler’s laidback look (untucked shirt!!) garnered as much attention as any of the play on the course.

Leishman opens with a 67 to lead at Kapalua (Jan 4, 2018)

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) Marc Leishman is having a much better time at Kapalua this year, on and off the golf course.

Leishman, coming off his best year with two PGA Tour victories that helped him become the highest-ranked player from Australia, made eight birdies in a strong wind Thursday on the Plantation Course for a 6-under 67 and a one-shot lead over Brian Harman and Jhonattan Vegas.

Only six players broke 70 in the opening round, a product of trade winds strong enough to cause players to back off putts.

Article continues below …

There were a few other wild moments. Leishman thought he hit his tee shot out-of-bounds on the 14th hole, where the wind sent it sailing beyond the waist-high native grass. Just his luck, he wound up in someone’s backyard, and it wasn’t out-of-bounds. What he figured would be a double bogey off the tee became a par.

”Best break I’ve had all year,” Leishman said after the first round of 2018.

Rickie Fowler sent his approach to the 13th into the na..

Ryan Armour takes the long, hard road to paradise

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) Ryan Armour arrived on Maui with enough time to soak up the perks of paradise before it was time to get to work.

He got in the car with his wife and two sons and took the road to Hana on the other side of the island from Kapalua. They followed the winding passage through a tropical rainforest and across nearly 60 bridges, some built a century ago, most with only one lane. The trip took nearly 12 hours door-to-door.

”It’s white knuckle,” Armour said. ”It’s scary.”

Article continues below …

He could have just as easily been describing the road he took to Kapalua for the winners-only Sentry Tournament of Champions.

That one began nearly 25 years ago when Armour was on the brink of winning the 1993 U.S. Junior Amateur. He was 2 up with two holes to play when his opponent birdied the last two holes and then won on the first extra hole with a par.

No shame there. His opponent was Tiger Woods, who won a record third straight title.

What followed for Armour ..

Tiger plans to play Torrey Pines, Riviera on West Coast

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) Tiger Woods is playing twice in California over the next six weeks as he begins another comeback on the PGA Tour from back surgery.

Woods announced Thursday he will play the Farmers Insurance Open on Jan. 25 at Torrey Pines, the San Diego course where he has won eight times. That includes the 2008 U.S. Open, his 14th and most recent major.

He also says he will play the Genesis Open at Riviera in Los Angeles that starts Feb. 15. Riviera is where Woods played his first PGA Tour event as a 16-year-old amateur. He last played in 2006, though it now is back in play because the Tiger Woods Foundation runs the tournament.

Article continues below …

”I’m very excited to be back at Riviera,” Woods said. ”To be able to play in an event that I used to come to as an amateur, as a junior and now as the tournament host, that is on one of the most historic sites in all of golf, it’s a dream come true.”

The schedule is similar to the one last year when Woods was returnin..
