Hurricane Florence: How golf courses in the Carolinas are bracing for potential devastation as storm nears

It's good to see Gilbert Arenas still has the swagger that made him one of the NBA's most entertaining players in his prime. It's also good to see he's still alive.
Arenas, as you might remember, was suspended for most of the 2009-10 NBA season after bringing guns into the locker room and getting into a heated exchange with teammate Javaris Crittenton over gambling debts. By the way, Crittenton is currently serving 23 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in 2015, so yeah, he was not someone to be trifled with.

In any event, on a much (much) lighter note, Arenas has recently engaged in some friendlier trash-talk with Golden State guard and current NBA class clown Nick Young. Arenas, 36, who hasn't played in the NBA since 2012 challenged Young to a shooting contest (To be clear, when we say “shooting” we're talking about basketball), and he showed up the other ..

If you read enough about Phil Mickelson, you’ll quickly learn his preparation techniques are a bit unorthodox. The man will try just about anything if it gives him an edge, as long as he can explain how it will afterwards. Apparently, that includes long-range sniper shooting.

Mickelson’s new, often hilarious, sometimes cringe-y Twitter account had been a bit quiet of late, besides his loud and proud Uncle Sam-esque tweet about earning a captain’s pick. That changed Wednesday night when Mickelson sent his second video post, the first being an equally-dangerous karate kick over NCIS: Los Angeles star Chris O'Donnell. Here's the clip, in which Mickelson takes aim in the name of Ryder Cup prep. Allow him to explain:

The head of France's only golf major says hosting the Ryder Cup won't help his country produce a star player

Mark Walhberg is not like you or me, mostly because neither of us owns a hamburger chain with a clever pun title (unless your name is Wendy). He’s also 2017’s highest-paid actor, mostly thanks to his industry-revitalizing work in films like “Mel Gibson’s Home 2” and “Transformers 19.” Sure, the star of “Deepwater Horizon” — yes, the “Deepwater Horizon” — naturally enjoys access to a lot of things we don’t, like fancy trainers, cutting-edge equipment and all the burgers he could theoretically eat. But there’s still something dispiritingly about the workout routine that he recently shared in an Instagram post in one of the apparently rare moments he’s not waking in the dark, lifting metal objects or … snarfing down multiple turkey burgers in one sitting? Whatever man, the abs justify the means.
You can read Wahlberg’s entire nightmare scenario here, after which you can go through the stages of mourning: feeling bad about the yawning gap that used to contain your workout routines, then fe..
