Bad news, NBA fans. Charles Barkley doesn't plan on working too much longer. And he's got an, um, interesting reason for leaving the studio.
During a Wednesday media scrum, the NBA Hall-of-Famer turned TNT analyst said with certainty he plans to retire by the time he's 60. Or, possibly, after 20 seasons on TV, which would happen (gulp) next year. Apparently, the Round Mound of Rebound is a big fan of round numbers.

But in typical Barkley fashion, his intention involved the type of outrageous statement we've come to expect on Inside the NBA. The Chuckster doesn't want to work until he's too old because he wants to enjoy life, but also, because, “You can't work until the day you die. At some point, you're going to start s***ing and p***ing yourself.”

Keyur KhamarDUBLIN, OH – JUNE 03: Bryson DeChambeau celebrates and bumps fists with his caddie after making a birdie putt on the 12th hole green during the final round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide at Muirfield Village Golf Club on June 3, 2018 in Dublin, Ohio. (Photo by Keyur Khamar/PGA TOUR)One of the jobs we respect the most among PGA Tour circles is being the caddie of Bryson DeChambeau. For all we know, Tim Tucker, Bryson's usual looper, needs a Ph.D. to decipher Bryson's constant chatter about barometric pressure, radius control and the coefficient of restitution of flagsticks—let alone be able to deliver data back to DeChambeau when requested. You need to be a smart cat to caddie for one of golf's smartest cats.
You can now bid to get that gig for the day, in the Wednesday pro-am for the RBC Heritage, but it'll cost you a pretty penny. The proceeds go toward a charitable donation to the Bryson DeChambeau foundation, so your cash will be w..

Soccer has suffered a rash of sculptures gone wrong in recent years. First came Cristiano's Ronaldo's sneering bust, followed by Brandi Chastain's nightmarish Hall of Fame Plaque, which literally required a name plate even with Brandi Chastain standing right next to it. So when it came time for David Beckham to be honored with his own statue outside the LA Galaxy's Dignity Health Sports Park, there was obviously a little trepidation. But after Beckham met with the sculptor months in advance, advising a little less chin and a little less ass, he was satisfied. He even made plans for his parents and wife to fly overseas for the unveiling. It was going to be a big moment…but then James Corden got wind of it. We would explain the whole thing, but it's just so much better (and funnier) to watch.
You should really take 10 minutes to soak in the whole clusterf—k, but if you're in a rush/think you don't care about soccer, here are the cliff notes: After lea..

Golf Digest Schools goes inside the ropes at the Players Championship with longtime caddie Paul Tesori

Stan BadzUNITED STATES – MARCH 18: Tiger Woods (Photo by Stan Badz/PGA)PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — It's Players Championship week, which means you're going to be hearing and seeing a lot of the same things that we do every year at TPC Sawgrass. At the top of the list is Tiger Woods' famous “better than most putt” from the third round of the 2001 Players, made famous both by the difficulty of the putt and Gary Koch's iconic call of said putt. In case you haven't seen it enough on Golf Channel this week, don't worry, you'll be fed a heavy dose of it throughout the week during the coverage, as is tradition. The only difference this year being that it will have that completely over-the-top electric theme music playing over it.
Obviously, watching the putt never gets old, but even the staunchest of Tiger fans will tell you they've watched and heard the call enough times by now. That being said, we'd never say no to hearing Woods break the memorable..
