Somebody did quite a number on Stephen A. Smith’s Wikipedia page

Cindy OrdEver wonder what the “A” in Stephen A. Smith stands for? Well, if you Googled it on Friday, you may have found a funny answer. Thanks to Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina for spotting Smith's updated Wikipedia page where somebody did quite a number:

They say you shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, HOWEVAH! Annoying makes perfect sense for a guy who went on TV on Thursday wearing a New Orleans Saints jersey and a cowboy hat and saying New Orleans was going to “STOMP” the Dallas Cowboys hours before the Cowboys beat the Saints.
We also like the more subtle jabs in the entry, including that Smith makes “too many appearances” on ESPN's various shows. “Someone” did this, eh, Jimmy? Right. . . (Wink, wink)

Charles Barkley finds an odd way to roast Kevin Durant after his 51-point performance

Basketball fans have long known Charles Barkley is a tough critic. Heck, golf fans found that out last week when he said “The Match” between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson was “crappy golf.” But he couldn't possibly find a way to rip someone after a 51-point performance, right? Wrong.

Barkley's latest dig came at Kevin Durant after the Golden State star did exactly that on Thursday night in his team's 131-128 loss to the Toronto Raptors in what is the early game of the season in the NBA. Following the game, Durant took off his jersey and gave it to rapper/Raptors fan Drake. Barkley could have made fun of that and no one would have noticed, but instead, he took a crack at Durant's physique. Have a listen:

Of course, Barkley would probably be the first to admit he's had a few too many hamburgers himself in recent years. Known as “The Round Mount of..

Maple Leafs equipment manager assists on huge goal, deserves pay raise

The Toronto Maple Leafs are scary good. Outside of the Buffalo Sabres, a team currently on a 10-game winning streak, there isn't a hotter team in the NHL. Their biggest off-season acquisition, John Tavares, is off to a fantastic start. Mitch Marner, who is considered the third-best player on the team, is playing like the best player in the sport at the moment. Auston Matthews, who is already one of the top players in the sport at the age of 21, just returned from injury and had a three-point night in his first game back. They are so unfair that their equipment manager is making plays for them. Wait, what?
In the first period of Toronto's 5-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night, Marner's stick broke in his own zone with 23 seconds to go. Knowing he could be on a potential odd-man rush, Marner made a B-line to the bench, where equipment manager Bobby Hastings was waiting with a new twig. Marner picked it up in stride and ended up assisting on this beautiful..

The best shot from every year of Tiger Woods’ professional career

Harry HowThis year's Hero World Challenge is a much different week than it's been in recent years for Tiger Woods. Prior to his 2014 and 2016 appearances, he fielded countless questions revolving around off-the-course issues, his health and whether or not he was truly ready to return to the PGA Tour.

This week's Hero press conference had a new dynamic, as Woods was asked to reflect on his remarkable 2018 comeback season, rather than vaguely discuss the future of a career many though was over based off his 2015 and 2017 seasons. On Tuesday, one question in particular yielded by far his most thoughtful answer of the presser, as Woods was asked what he thought his best shot of 2018 was. Have a listen:

Woods hit plenty of vintage shots in 2018 (a few at the PGA come to mind), but his case for the approach on 10 at Carnoustie is ..

Atlanta Hawks announcers switch to golf commentator mode to mock quiet crowd in Charlotte

The Atlanta Hawks' announcing team found a creative way to poke fun of a quiet crowd in Charlotte on Wednesday night. They got quiet themselves.

Check out this clip where the duo says they're going to treat the NBA game “like a golf tournament” before switching into golf commentator mode. That includes talking in hushed tones and saying one player, Kevin Huerter, made a three-pointer “from across the pond.” Jim Nantz would be proud. Have a look and listen:
https://twitter.com/HoHighlights/status/1067942241342246916
To be fair, it was less than four minutes into the game and it could have been a late-arriving crowd in the Queen City. Have you ever watched the first quarter of a Miami Heat game? That makes this place look as hopping as Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Anyway, the home team Hornets got the last laugh with a 118-104 win. We're guessing it was pretty dead in the Spectrum Center by the fourth qu..
