Goydos, Petrovic shoot 63, share lead in Champions' finale
The latest Tiger-Phil hype video for ‘THE MATCH’ might even bring the haters around
There's a lot of fans and media members who are down on the upcoming Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson duel in Las Vegas, which is fine. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, and no one is forcing you to watch, or pay $19.99 to watch, which seems to the naysayers biggest knock on “THE MATCH.” But even the haters would admit that the latest hype video for the proceedings at Shadow Creek is pretty damn good. Don't believe us? See for yourself:

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. It's even got multiple sound bites from Johnny Miller! What's not to like? And that's even before we mentioned the “Alright, alright,” part where Phil cuts off the announcer rattling off all of Tiger's wins, a video that will never, ever get old.
Even if you STILL haven't come around, we can all admit this was much better than whatever the hell that golf pong thing was the other day. Let's just all pretend that did..

PK Subban calls himself a p***y, still wins trash talk battle with Avs defenseman with relative ease
No sport's athletes chirp quite like NHL players, although, the NBA could be a close second if any of those guys ever got mic'd up (this would never happen because if you've ever read any Kevin Garnett stories, NBA players tend to get very personal). But for hockey players, it's an art form, and apparently it's not limited to just chirping their opponents, they'll even chirp themselves as we learned Thursday night in Colorado.
During the Avs' home game against the Nashville Predators, Preds star defenseman PK Subban could be overheard on the NBC broadcast first trash talking himself, then unleashing his best material on Colorado defenseman Nikita Zadorov, who was looking to fight Subban. Subban wasn't interested, and we have to assume that Zadorov called him a “p***y” because of it, to which Subban agreed, followed by a blunt assessment of Zadorov as a player. Have a watch (Warning: language):

Bryson DeChambeau vs. Cam Champ: Who is golf’s true Prince of Hype
Both are quickening pulses these days in the golf world, but who deserves it more?
This guy’s Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley impersonations are SCARY accurate
Connor Moore is the undisputed king of impressions when it comes to PGA Tour golfers. There is no debate. However, he officially has some SERIOUS competition.
Moore's new foe? Jack Bartlett (@JackBartlett1 on Twitter), who randomly tweeted out this absolutely SCARY accurate impersonation of Dustin Johnson because, according to him, “People have said for years I should put some of my golf impressions on social media.” Well, whoever those people are, we cannot thank you enough. Check out his DJ impression, which isn't just him saying “ummm” a lot, it's DJ's mannerisms, walk-up to the ball, follow through, the whole bit:
https://twitter.com/JackBartlett1/status/1060311249337094144
When I first came across this, I figured it was just a guy doing an OK impression of DJ's voice, which really doesn't take much. Then, when you notice the way he stands, moves his body around and nonchalantly walks up to the ball, all of a sudden it literally looks like Dustin Johns..

69-year-old man tries to legally change his age to 49 because time is a flat circle or something
Ladies and gentlemen, The Loop is pleased to announce our Jackass Of The Week: 11/4 – 11/10. His name? Emile Ratelband. His claim to fame? Officially petitioning a Dutch judge to legally reduce his age for 69 to 49 because he believes age, like gender, is fluid. Also because he thinks it will help his Tinder game, obvi.
In a recent interview with the Guardian, the self-professed “Young God” laid out his plight, saying, “When I’m on Tinder and it says I’m 69, I don’t get an answer. When I’m 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.” In other words, he's asking the judges—who he says “laughed like little girls” at his initial proposal—to wingman for him, because clearly they have nothing better to do.
Couldn't he just change his age on a dating app? Sure, but ” I don't want to lie” says Ratelband while lying to himself, this time to the Washington Post. Oh, and if you're also wondering why the Washington Post and Guardian are publishing the stoned r..
