Icon SportswireKeto, Paleo, Atkins, Weight Watchers, and Nutrisystem. The TB12 Method, and the George Foreman Grill diet. Drinking avocado and grilling water. If you're serious about dropping pounds and getting Shredded™, there's no shortage of ways to go about it. Short of semi-legal diet pills long-haul truckers pop to stay awake at night, however, there's no more efficient method than sitting behind the wheel of a 130-degree car hurling around a tarmac oval at 175 mph for four straight hours. Just ask NASCAR wheelman Matt DiBenedetto, who apparently shed nearly 10 pounds over the course of a single race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend:

The New York Mets already take enough crap from a lot of people—their own fans, New Yawk's Numbah One, their own damn play-by-play guy and this here website (and many others). The last thing the franchise needed was to take crap from Jeopardy! but that was the unfortunate case for the Metropolitans on Monday night.

When things have gone as bad as they have for the Metsies, everybody begins to pile on, including Alex Trebek, whose pancreatic cancer is miraculously near remission. Whether fully healthy or not, though, Trebek wasn't going to be dethroned as king of the game-show dagger, as he displayed on Monday night's episode with this vicious clue that buried the Mets six feet under. The clue was in the “Let's talk about flags” category. Though it sounds impossible for the Mets to earn mention in said category, it just so happened the team was in the first clue chosen by one of the show'..

Mike EhrmannBy nature, gamblers are a cursed bunch. They are always getting shafted or screwed; after all, who could have foreseen that back-up point guard for Alabama with nine career threes hitting one from deep at the buzzer to cover the 14-point spread? Granted, why any misguided soul would be betting on SEC basketball in the first place is a question best left unanswered, but there's a reason “degenerate” is used ad nauseam to describe this bunch.
But there are tales of poor bastards' fortune changing, spurring just enough hope the same providence is on the horizon for every beleaguered better. This is one of the incidents.
A dumb, fluky incident.
A man that goes by the Twitter handle “GarbageTimeKid”—clearly one who knows the SEC theoretical above all too well—tried to place a bet on Shane Lowry at this year's U.S. Open after listening to the advice of Action Network's Jason Sobel. Alas, the GarbageTimeKid was a bit negligent when pulling the trigger, backing ..

We expected great content to come from Shane Lowry's claret jug celebrations in the wake of his popular six-shot win at the 148th Open Championship. And so far, so good. But the best thing to surface in the 24 hours since Shane's maiden major victory came from an unlikely source: His grandmother.

In an adorable—and hilarious—chat with RTE News, Emily Scanlon gushes about how proud she is of her grandson. But she also says that Sunday's final round drove her to drink. And not in celebration.
When asked how it was watching the drama unfold, here was her fantastic response:
“Oh, terrible. Emotional now, it was,” Scanlon says. “I hadn't slept last night. I hadn't drank a brandy since 2009 and I drank two yesterday—it's nearly killing me.”
Amazing. Here's the (instant) classic clip that might be the greatest post-round interview in Open Championship history:
