Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we wish we had Kathleen Zellner on the case of golf’s greatest mysteries. What really happened the night of Tiger’s Thanksgiving car crash in 2009? Why was Woods missing a tooth at that 2015 ski race? And how in the world did Tiger’s final tee shot at the 2000 PGA Championship stay in play? The lawyer from Making A Murderer Part 2 would hire forensics experts to run tests on everything from teeth fragments to cart path density and she would keep digging until she got to the bottom of it. And then the state of Wisconsin would still deny another trial. SMH. But at least we would finally know the truth.

It's a testament to how popular the league has become. Even though it's just the third game of the season, and the fact that no team is beating the Golden State Warriors, and the fact the game ended well past 1 a.m. ET, it's all anyone can talk about. One name in particular garnered the most attention on social media. Wh..

Cameron Champ is now on the PGA Tour. Here's an exclusive look at how this rookie became the longest player in professional golf.

Take it from Patrick Reed: If you're gonna sit in the “line-drive section,” you better keep your head on a swivel. No digging for Cracker Jacks. No chatting with friends. No taking selfies. You gotta stay frosty, first pitch to final out.
Despite plexiglass and league-wide netting, the same paranoid principal also applies to hockey, as this San Jose Sharks fan found out this weekend. While on hold with Time Warner, a puck was suddenly lobbed her in direction. Instead of quickly dialing up an angry Instagram post about her seats, however, she reacted, knocking down the puck with one hand before corralling it with the help of her not insubstantial, um, uh, well why don't you just see for yourself:

The moral of the story here is that you should never have a full phone conversation while watching a hockey game. Also that slo-mo, while largely played-out, still has its time and place. Is this as impressive as the Padres..
