Jay Buhner is trending on Twitter because RIP Jerry Stiller (AKA Frank Costanza)

We've been reminded a lot recently of just how big Michael Jordan was in the 1990s with Sunday night airings of “The Last Dance.” On Monday morning, however, we got a glimpse at the importance of “Seinfeld” during that time as well.

Jay Buhner was trending on Twitter to start the week and before you get any COVID-related thoughts, rest assured the 55-year-old former MLB star is doing just fine. So why is someone who hasn't played in nearly two decades trending? Well, sadly, comedic legend Jerry Stiller, who once famously mentioned the ballplayer in his role as Frank Costanza on the iconic sitcom, has passed away at 92 from natural causes, according to son Ben.

Chicago Cubs infielder fires 69—and still manages to lose by 11 shots to PGA Tour pro

Ian Happ is a good enough recreational golfer to probably have briefly considered quitting his day job at some point. That is, if the Chicago Cubs second baseman didn't already have a dream day job playing Major League Baseball. But we're guessing he realizes how foolish a notion that would be after what happened on Friday.
Happ, a two-handicap in Golf Digest's latest pro athlete rankings and whose dad was a longtime agronomist for the USGA, fired a nice little 69—and lost. By ELEVEN strokes.

As you might have guessed, Happ was beaten by someone who plays golf for a living on the PGA Tour. And even if the current golf season has been put on hold by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Joel Dahmen appears to be in mid-season form. Check out this incredible scorecard from his 58—including a back-nine 26!—to break the course record at Arizona's Mesa Country Club:

Yes, Allen Iverson is still talking about practicing (social distancing)

Allen Iverson was my (and everyone else's) hero. He was the coolest man alive, exceptionally fun to play with as a character in “Street Basketball” and most importantly—for a kid who stopped growing way too early— remarkably short. Even the New York Times admitted that there was “fuzzy measurement” in AI being 6'1″. The man was towered over by his opponents and still put up over 26 points and six assists a game for his career.

I mean, he stepped over another human being after nailing a game-sealing NBA Finals jumpshot in his face and wasn't immediately kicked out of the league. An icon.
The Point God was so goddamn compelling that he convinced people to buy Reebok sneakers. Reebok!
