John Tortorella absolutely rips his own team apart, remains the press conference GOAT

As previously discussed right here on this site, there are few people on earth who can dominate a press conference like John Tortorella. Whether he's battling with cell phones, feuding with reporters or in the mood to tear his own players to shreds, the man is must-watch when there is a microphone in his face, which is ironic because of how much he hates when there is a microphone in his face.
Torts' Columbus Blue Jackets were back in action on Tuesday following the All-Star break and their bye week, a 10-day hiatus that would lead you to believe they'd be refreshed and ready to get after it at home against Buffalo. Instead, the Jackets found themselves down 3-1 after the first period, though they did fight back to tie the game at 4-4 heading into the final period. They would eventually go on to lose 5-4, and the stats seemed to indicate it was a hard-fought game.
Judging by Tortorella's press conference on Thursday ahead of Columbus' tilt with the Winnipeg Jet..

Matt Kuchar dragging Bryson DeChambeau is the best moment of Phoenix Open so far

Stan BadzIf you even know how to spell “golf,” chances are you've seen the now-viral video of Bryson DeChambeau's Bill Nye-approved shot process at the Dubai Desert Classic last weekend. The 30 For 30 short, which finds Bryson and his caddie analyzing air density and adjusted distance for an agonizing 74 seconds before hitting a 126-yard approach, has generated Flamin' Hot Cheeto takes from around the golf world, including Brooks “Don't Think Too Much” Koepka and now Matt Kuchar, who unleashed this expert troll job of the Artist Formerly Known as the Mad Scientist at the Phoenix Open on Thursday morning. Watch your necks out there, kids.

Of course, Kuchar has recently been the subject of his own controversy, but in this case, we'll leave his glass house intact because, well, it's just that funny. Going full deadpan, Kuchar cites “electromagnetic pulses” for his ball's spin, nailing Bryson square b..

This Johnny Miller tribute video will make you realize how much you’ll miss him in the booth

Saturday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open is arguably the most fun day on the professional golf calendar, with the exception of moving day at all four majors (had to add that before all the purists and WMPO haters jump down my throat). This weekend at TPC Scottsdale will be no different, but there will be a dark cloud of sadness hanging over golf fans' heads throughout NBC's coverage of the third round, as it will be Johnny Miller's final broadcast from the analyst chair.
RELATED: Our favorite Johnny Millerisms
For the most part, the golf world will be sad to see him go, as we're seeing in many of the tributes being written about Miller this week, all of them praising the “Desert Fox” and his incredible golfing and broadcasting career. But Johnny had plenty of haters, a lot of them actually. Some of those haters might even be thrilled to see him sign off for one final time on Saturday evening, but deep down, in places they don't talk about at parties they W..

Enes Kanter finally sees action, kisses MSG floor and promptly airballs first shot

With the New York Knicks in full-tank mode, the few veterans on the roster have seen a significant drop in playing time, as coach David Fizdale has opted to give more run to the young players to “get them more experience.” Translation: the more we lose, the closer we get to Zion Williamson. It's a brilliant plan that's currently working overtime, as the Knicks have now fallen to 10-40, including losses in 35 of their last 38 following a stupid three-game winning streak around Thanksgiving.
Knicks center Enes Kanter is not really buying into the plan, nor should he. It's understandable that he wants to play, and the best thing would be to trade him to a team that could use his offensive production. Instead, he's still on the roster, and Fizdale has benched him in seven of the last eight games, including four straight. Rather than suck it up, Kanter has decided to make himself the story daily with some stupid quote about how he should be playing and how he loves New Y..

Throwback Thursday: That time Tiger Woods had his gallery perform manual labor and move a boulder

There are all the obvious reasons why it's good to be Tiger Woods — oodles of cash, 80 tour wins, free shoes from Nike. And then there are the less obvious ones—like if you happen to land a tee shot behind a boulder, you can easily recruit enough spectators to move the boulder for you.
This actually happened, as you probably recall. The USGA certainly does. Playing the Phoenix Open in 1999 — two years after he famously aced the par-3 16th hole in the tournament — Woods drove his tee shot on the par-5 13th hole left and behind a boulder.

Without much of a shot to the green, Woods inquired whether the boulder was a loose impediment and could be moved. When the answer was yes, Woods enlisted members of his gallery, including then-caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan, for their help.

With the boulder moved back, Woods was given a clear shot to the green. He got home in two and made birdie, but still finished thre..
