Can this T-shirt solve the slow play crisis?

With slow play lollygagging through everyone's mind again this week, everyone seems to be trying to find a solution to the issue. Some say it's up to the tours to penalize players that take too long, while others say golfers should take responsibility for their own speeds. But there is one tried and true solution dating back to grade school that might fix this problem once and for all: peer pressure.
We all have that one friend that labors for what feels like hours over a four-footer or who has a pre-shot routine you could slow-cook a brisket during. Passive comments and watch-checking may work sometimes, but let's face it, the only way to get your buddy to really hurry up is to bully them into it.
Apparel company BreakingT has started its own campaign to combat expanding round lengths in a newanti-slow play collection. The first shirt in the collection boldly says what was on all our minds watching the final round at Riviera: “Just hit it already!” It's a great not..

John Daly fires shot across Vijay’s bow with his own grueling workout video

A week or two ago, we called Vijay Singh the Ivan Drago of the Champions Tour in response to his viral workout videos, some even executed while wearing a golf glove. But if Vijay is indeed Drago, then who is his Rocky? Well, if this latest training montage is to be believed (and trust us, you have to see it to believe it), then we may finally have our answer.
Ladies and gentlemen, allows us to present John Freakin' Daly.

OK, so maybe Big John's training regimen is a little more Apollo Creed than Rocky Balboa these days—and we all know how that turned out for Apollo when he faced Drago (spoiler alert: he died)—but there's still something to be said for Daly's Margaritaville method. The proverbial carrot has been substituted for the literal Big Mac and the tractor tires for pool tubes. He gets to wear flip flops on the treadmill and take french fry breaks. In other words, there's nothing not to love about..

PGA Tour pro gets burned (literally) by the new shorts policy

Well, that didn't take long. One day after the PGA Tour announced a new rule allowing its players to wear shorts during practice rounds and pro-ams, Ben Crane got burned by the policy. Literally.

Competing in this week's Puerto Rico Open, Crane took advantage of being able to shed his pants in the island sun for Tuesday's practice round. But by the looks of it, he didn't apply enough (any?) sunscreen on his legs.

Ouch.
When news of the new PGA Tour policy broke on Monday, some golfers joked about going out and buying shorts. But we're guessing Ben Crane's biggest purchase the rest of the week is going to be some aloe.
Crane's odds to win the tournament were 80 to 1 as of Wednesday morning. It's unclear if Vegas is factoring in his brutal sunburn. That's gotta bump him up to at least 100 to 1.

Shirtless David Puddy took over the Devils game again last night

Bruce BennettOK, so let's start with the bad news. The New Jersey Devils stink like a New Jersey Superfund site. After a promising 2017/18 resulting in a playoff berth, the Devils have regressed to the mean and then some, sitting dead last in the Metropolitan Division in late February. The good news? Somehow they still convinced mythical Seinfeld b-character and noted Devils maniac David Puddy to come back, take his shirt off, and scream “THE DEVILSSSS” until his larynx gives out as part of their annual '90s Night-palooza-a-thon. Hey, gotta support the team (even if it does end up strip mining every last morsel of happiness from your soul.)

Patrick Warburton—no, David Puddy is not his real name—has been doing this on and off since 1995, but this year included a very awesome first for both Warburton and the beleaguered Devils fans who still bothered to drag their corpses to the Prud on a Wednes..

John Tortorella was extremely, disgustingly honest when asked why his star player was out

We haven't exactly been coy about our love for John Tortorella here at The Loop. Few NHL coaches provide the content he does on a regular basis, and we could never thank him enough for it. His blunt honesty is always refreshing, and often unintentionally hilarious. This once though, it'd have been a lot less gross had he not been so honest.

With the trade deadline looming, rumors have swirled around Columbus Blue Jackets star Artemi Panarin. Panarin, who is tied for 15th in the NHL in points, hits free agency this off-season, and he's as good as gone. But before that happens, plenty of teams still see him as an intriguing rental for the remainder of this year, so naturally there is plenty of speculation about where he'll end up within the next five days. That's why when it was announced he'd be held out of Tuesday night's game against the Montreal..

Little Yankees fan never wanted Manny Machado anyway thank you very much

A “cute” Yankees fan is a bit of an oxymoron. “Cute” requires a certain degree of blithe innocence that you simply can't attain when you're born into such opulence, sipping apple juice upon velvet upholstery while counting rings you've never seen. That said, if there were ever a pint-sized pinstriper to push the limits of this paradox, it would have to be this kid, who skyrocketed to the top of the internet Hot 100 after offering his thoughts on Manny Machado's reported $300-million-dollar move to the Padres on Tuesday afternoon. Take it away, buddy.

Suffice to say, this kid has some serious moxie. Unfortunately his premise—that certain players are simply off-limits to certain teams based on history/rivalry/general likeability—doesn't hold water coming a Yankees fan. This is EXACTLY what the Yankees have always done. If they can't beat 'em, they buy 'em (see: Damon and Ellsbury), and the more d..
