The George Costanza bobblehead the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are giving away on Seinfeld Night belongs in the Louvre

[Gravelly movie trailer guy voice] From the minds that brought you smash hits like Florida Man Night and Halfway to Pumpkin Spice Night, comes the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp's latest summer promotion blockbuster: The George Costanza “Jerk Store” bobblehead, coming soon to a theater near you the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

Our eyes are feasting on that beauty like Costanza on free shrimp cocktail. A reference to the season 8 episode “The Comeback”, the bobblehead depicts Costanza devouring savory sea creatures during a brainstorming meeting for, you guessed it, Yankees minor-league promotions. His crustacean-crushing warpath prompted a co-worker to opine, “Hey George, the ocean called. They're running out of shrimp.” The rest—including Costanza's long-gestating retort, “The jerk store called, they're running out of you”—is history.

Woman tries to get Torts to take selfie mid-game, Torts reacts exactly how you’d expect

John Tortorella has absolutely no time for bullshit. He has no time for poor officiating, no time for g*d damn technology, no time for your stupid questions and NO time for cell phones. If you think he has time for a selfie at any time of the day, let alone in the middle of a hockey game, you must be outside your mind.
One woman at the Calgary Flames-Columbus Blue Jackets game made the grave mistake of thinking Torts would have time for a selfie in the middle of the game, and she got exactly what you'd expect, an icy cold Torts shoulder. Watch as she somehow miraculously gets his attention only to be swatted away by Torts as if he were Dikembe Mutombo in his prime:

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. This woman is lucky Torts didn't have her removed, and he was actually able to laugh it off. M'am, we all love Torts as much as you do, but some of us don't have a death wish. You'd have a better chance of getting a self..

Joel Embiid’s new nickname is inspired by one of the worst Jeopardy! answers of all time

We love this story because it's one of those classic two-birds, one-stone scenarios that makes our job even easier than it already is. Up first is something near and dear to our hearts here at The Loop: A terrible Jeopardy! answer. There's just nothing else like it on earth. Then there's content factory Joel Embiid—the subject of said terrible Jeopardy! answer—who took the source of someone else's immense shame and used it for good. This is the kind of story that keeps the lights on at Sports Internet HQ on random Thursdays in March, and we are deeply grateful for it.
Up first is Paul, who, when asked what Joel Embiid's nickname is (it's “The Process”, btw) late in the Jeopardy! round on Wednesday night, answered “Do a 180?” Thanks for your service, Paul. [Ed. note: Golf Digest's Christopher Powers has requested that we use his tweet of the viral game show moment. Turns out their is an “I” in “team” if you spell it “tiem”]
