PGA Tour’s Twitter King absolutely destroys Twitter troll after bad round

Dom FuroreMax Homa Westin Kierland Resort Scottsdale AZJune 5th 2019Dom FuroreCurrent Golf Digest cover boy Max Homa is one of the best golfers in the world. But he had already established himself as the game's King of Twitter (Well, at least part of its royal family along with Phil Mickelson and Eddie Pepperell) before picking up his first PGA Tour at the Wells Fargo Championship in May. And you know what they say about coming after kings on Twitter: You best not miss.

But a brave foolish follower decided to take a crack at Homa for letting his fantasy team down with a rough start to the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Thursday. It did not go well for the guy. Here's his tweet with Homa's reply:

Burn! Absolutely perfect.
It wasn't long before the poor guy was getting slammed left and right, including from fellow tour pros:

Chipper Jones (Yep, that Chipper Jones) made the play of Game 1 between the Braves and Cardinals

Chipper Jones is one of those baseball players that makes me feel like an old man. Not to date myself, but I remember having an entire sleeve of his rookie cards and watching him break in with those great Atlanta Braves teams. Then watching his entire 19-year career before retiring. (Googles when Chipper Jones retired) SEVEN years ago?! Man, I really am old.

And so is Chipper. In fact, he's 47 and looks like a typical middle-aged man when he attends baseball games. The Hall-of-Famer also still has pretty good hands as evidenced by what happened during the ninth inning of Game 1 of the NLDS between the Braves and Cardinals on Thursday night. Check out Chipper snagging a foul pop-out with ease like he was still manning third base at the old Fulton-County Stadium:

What are the odds? Of course, things got even wilder from there as the Cardinals score..

Milan Lucic wasted absolutely no time beating somebody’s face in, remains the NHL’s last real enforcer

The enforcer position in the NHL is all but extinct, and analytics nerds will tell you that's a good thing. On one hand they're right. The more speed and skill on ice the better. On the other hand, sometimes you just wish your favorite team had a guy that would sock an opponent in the face when they stepped out of line. A guy like Milan Lucic.
Lucic is the last of his kind in the current NHL. The 31-year-old has been wreaking havoc on the ice for 13 years, eight of those spent with the Boston Bruins, one with the L.A. Kings, three with the Edmonton Oilers and now one game with his new squad, the Calgary Flames. On Thursday night the Flames were in Colorado to face the Avalanche, and Lucic wasted absolutely no time endearing himself to his new teammates.

New York Rangers player takes digger during player introductions, kicks off season in style

2018 was a rough year for the New York Rangers. They won 32 games, finished second-to-last in the Metropolitan Division, and were the least relevant hockey team in New York, which is saying a lot because, well, the Islanders are the Islanders. Thus Thursday evening, the opening night of the 2019-20 season for the Rangers, was viewed as an opportunity to turn the page—a chance to grab a fresh start with both hands and run with it. Unfortunately before the Rangers even had the chance, the bad juju struck again, tripping forward Lias Andersson with a cable during player introductions in a moment that has since gone gleefully viral:

Buy your holiday scotch now, because it’s about to get A LOT more expensive

ShaiithBad news, scotch drinkers. Bad news, spouses of scotch drinkers. Bad news, friends, family, sons, daughters, Secret Santa partners, and mailmen of scotch drinkers. Bad news to just about everybody buying anyone anything brown and boozy from the British Isles this holiday season: It's about to get a hell of a lot more expensive.
According to Forbes, On Wednesday, the U.S. Government, not content with their ongoing trade war with China, passed a 25% tariff on all single-malt scotch whisky imports (read: all single-malt scotch whisky period.) The new import tax—a petty financial swing at the European Union over a plane manufacturing subsidy provided to Airbus at the expense Boeing—includes $7.5 billion dollars worth of European goods, including everything from German beer to French cheese, AKA any easy, fool-proof holiday gift idea you can possibly think of (sorry, but I don't think mom wants the new Call of Duty.)

Where can we buy one of these “Free Bio Kim” hats that Kevin Na’s caddie is wearing at the Shriners?

Earlier this week, a gift from the content gods was bestowed upon us when news broke that former PGA Tour pro Bio Kim was suspended three years from the Korean Tour. His crime? Kim, upset that he heard a cellphone camera shutter during his swing, gave the middle finger to the crowd, a move the Korean Tour said “damaged the dignity of a golfer with etiquette violation and inappropriate behavior.”

The immediate response from many in the golf media and on Golf Twitter was to defend Kim, the common refrain being that the punishment did not fit the crime. A few tour pros also commented on Kim's suspension, but none came to his defense quite like Kevin Na, who knows Kim well, going as far to say as he felt like “a big brother” to him while Kim was trying to find his way on the PGA Tour.
“We developed a really good relationship. What he did was wrong,” Na said on Wednesday at the Shriners Hospitals for Childr..
