Anaheim Ducks hold ‘Mighty Ducks’ tribute night, actually manage to win a game

It's been a tough season for the Anaheim Ducks. The team's 25th-anniversary season was supposed to be one big party, teeming with crazy alternate jerseys, cool promotions, and general night-in, night-out Paul Kariya worship. Fast forward a couple months, however, and the mood around the Honda Center is more funeral than fun. The Ducks are sitting second from bottom in the Western Conference and just fired Randy Carlyle, the all-time winningest coach in franchise history. But the show, as they say must go on, so on Wednesday night the Ducks trotted out cast members from the original Mighty Ducks films—bedecked in their original kelly greens—for a millennial nostalgia fever dream for the ages.

Forget golf; Bubba Watson apparently wants to be an actor. Yes, really

Rob Carr(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)Bubba Watson feels at home at Riviera, a disposition that has paid dividends in three victories at the Los Angeles course. What promotes this state of mind, you ask? Certainly the track's length plays into Bubba's power game, or that it calls for creative shotmaking, another Watson forte. But if you ask the man himself, another facet is fueling his success at the Genesis Open.
Acting.
“These are my people here, I love Hollywood. I've always wanted to be an actor,” Watson said. “I can't remember lines, though, so I wouldn't be very good at it, but I could look cool running down the street.”
You're forgiven for thinking Watson is being facetious, having some fun with the press. Except the two-time Masters winner is not joking, owning a genuine affection for the craft.
In his past few trips to Los Angeles, Watson has spent time with various actors and producers, taking in as much as possible about the industry. This inc..

A visual history of Tiger Woods’ best (and most painfully awkward) celebrity encounters

Ethan MillerPro-Ams, Late Night, Tiger Jam, and one unforgettable TRL appearance. Tiger Woods' run-ins with celebrity over the years have been various and hilarious—a snapshot of a kid growing not only into a legend, but also his own jeans.

Golden Globe winner Regina King narrowly avoids being karate-kicked into oblivion by Joel Embiid

As exciting as sitting court side at a NBA game looks, it also seems a bit dangerous. One minute you're enjoying the up close and personal action and the next minute there is a 7-foot, 250-pound giant barreling into you as he tries to save the ball. Just ask Jason Day's wife Ellie, who found herself in this exact situation a few years ago when LeBron James crashed into her in Cleveland and she ended up leaving the arena on a stretcher.
The same thing nearly happened to actress Regina King on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, where the dumpster fire of a New York Knicks team faced off with the Philadelphia 76ers. King, who just won a Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk, was minding her own business in celebrity row when Sixers center Joel Embiid, who stands at 7 feet and weighs 249 pounds, came rushing toward her. Luckily for King, Embiid reacted quickly and leapt over her, narrowly avoiding karate-kicking her into anothe..
