Grandmother watching the Super Bowl discovers Jimmy Garoppolo’s spooky 1950s doppelgänger

If you've been watching HBO's new Stephen King adaptation The Outsider, then you are probably starting to piece together the mystery (and if you aren't, this is where I spoil it for you): An “it” with the ability to replicate human likenesses has been committing heinous crimes under the guise of local do-gooders, dooming these innocent people to prison (and fates worse than that) before slinking off into the form of another doppelgänger. I bring all of this up not because I think you should watch it or anything—it's fine—but because when I saw this story about a random grandmother discovering Jimmy Garoppolo's literal 1950s clone while watching the Super Bowl after crushing out a pair of episodes last night, I knew immediately what was happening up there in the San Fran fog.

Charles Barkley continues war on vegetables with elaborate kale conspiracy theory

The year is 2020. Everything's a hoax. Everyone's a crook. It's all smoke, mirrors, and Instagram filters. Nothing is what it seems unless what it seems like is a lie. We don't need a new Matrix movie. We're living it. Only our Neo isn't called Neo at all. He goes by Barkley . . . Charles Barkley.
In recent years, the big-boned wellness guru has made it his personal mission to drag the modern world out of the darkness and into the light, and this week—inspired by the French Onion Dip Christmas known as the Super Bowl—he's set his sights on the collected scourges of kale and yoga. YOU'RE JUST A PAWN IN BIG LETTUCE'S TWISTED GAME, PEOPLE. OPEN YOUR EYES, THE TRUTH IS WAITING.

“I think kale is just lettuce,” he says, ignoring the fact he's never tried either substance. “They just change the name so they can charge you more.”

Whatever you do, don’t laugh at Pat Connaughton in the Dunk Contest

Andrew D. BernsteinThe NBA was hoping we wouldn't notice. On Monday morning with the sports internet still chowing down on Andy Reid quotes like Andy Reid chows down on Baconators, the Association tried to slip an absolute gem of an announcement under the rug: Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Pat Connaughton has officially committed to the 2019 NBA Dunk Contest. In case you're wondering why they were trying to hide it, Connaughton is the same athletic specimen who once did this:
But the NBA, bless their hearts, completely underestimated the internet's magnet-like attraction to absurdity, and soon the horde was all over the news like flies on a fly zapper. As you've probably already surmised, the reaction ranged from bemusement to utter outrage at the fact the Dunk Contest will continue to be very much the Dunk Contest.

Sofia Kenin is the young American gun nobody saw coming

Clive BrunskillCoco Gauff is 15 years old, and already beating grand slam champions. Sloane Stephens was 24 when she won the U.S. Open. Madison Keys is still only 24. Amanda Anisimova, who lit up the French Open last year, is 18. Taylor Townsend, the serve-and-volleyer who took down Simona Halep at Flushing Meadows, is 24.
All of them have received their fair share of attention, and rightly so—American women's tennis is in a relatively good place, even if we haven't seen the emergence of stars on the level of the Williams sisters quite yet…a bar so high it's dizzying. Among the youth movement, though, Sofia Kenin was the dark horse that the mainstream couldn't quite predict. It's not for a lack of record; in fact, Kenin was a top junior with plenty of hype, and she won three times on the WTA as a 20-year-old last year. It's more her personality and her game, which are understated, consistent, and grounded by one of the toughest competitive personalities ..
