Kevin C. CoxIs the fifth time the charm for Rory McIlroy to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National?Who are your Masters picks?

So as we count down the weeks days hours until the world's best golfers descend on Augusta National, here's our ever-changing top-13 ranking of contenders—along with their current odds, according to Westgate Las Vegas Superbook—to slip on the green jacket this year.

I haven’t seen an American athlete dazzle fans in Mexico like that since Kenny Powers in Season 2 of Eastbound and Down. Also, Johnson has made it clear he will NOT be staying at the same Augusta rental house where he had his staircas..

This goalie who purposely snapped an opponent’s stick in half should be banned from life

For a beer league hockey game to reach a point where there is a full-on line brawl, some real scumbaggery had to have occurred. I'm sure it happens way more than you think, because dads build up a lot of anger throughout the week that has to be taken out when the puck drops at 10 p.m. on a Sunday night. That being said, middle-aged dudes on skates should never be throwing fists.

But that's what happened in what we have to assume is a men's league game, considering one team is in hot-pink jerseys and the fact there are a total of zero fans in the arena. In a video currently making the rounds on Twitter, you'll see two officials struggle to break up a fight that broke out between two belligerent beer-leaguers, eventually separating them. Just when you think those two guys are the biggest hardos on the ice, the goalie for the hot-pink team, who decided he wasn&#0..

Young NBA fan learns quickly that you do NOT mess with Russell Westbrook

I haven't had the pleasure(?) of bringing a kid to a professional sporting event yet, but when I do, there's an obvious first rule to teach: Do NOT touch the athletes. An addendum to that rule would be to stay away from opposing players in particular. And as a final clarification? Under no circumstances are you to touch—or do anything that could possibly offend—Russell Westbrook.
In other words, some dad at Tuesday's Denver Nuggets game failed. Miserably.

Late in the third quarter of Denver's 121-112 win over Oklahoma City, a young fan sitting courtside gave the explosive (in more than one way) Thunder star a little tap/jab. Westbrook turned around, flashed a menacing glare, and the kid quickly took his seat. At least, he immediately realized his mistake. Then Westbrook, who handled the situation well, appeared to have a nice little chat with the youngster. Check it out:

Racist slumlord Donald Sterling is long gone, as are the talented-but-troubled trio of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. There's possibly a new arena on the horizon, and the team has a truckload of assets and cap space heading into one of the most prized free agencies in league history.
But, at their heart, they are still the Clippers. And, as this video shows, Clips gonna Clip.

Inspiring one-armed golf prodigy is now hitting Little League home runs like a boss

While the Little League season is still a dream in snow-covered parts of the country, it started with quite a bang in St. Louis. Playing in his season opener on Saturday, seven-year-old Tommy Morrissey hit a home run that has now made the rounds, including on ESPN. So what's the big deal about this particular dinger? Young Tommy hit it using only his left arm.
Golf fans should be familiar with the name of the kid who has developed the reputation of a prodigy despite being born without part of his right arm. Morrissey hit a ceremonial tee shot at a PGA Tour event when he was five and he's impressed superstars from Bryson DeChambeau to Tiger Woods. He also nearly made a hole-in-one at Pinehurst's par 3 course this past summer.
