Let’s remember the (mostly) unsung American heroes of the Pyeongchang Olympics, because why not?

Fred LeeThe U.S. won nine gold medals at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, which is exactly how many they'd won in 2006, 2010, and 2014. But there was something particularly special about those medals, both in how they were won and by whom, and with the delay of the 2020 Olympics, now is as good a time as ever to revisit the glory. Let's start with the man who inspired this post:
1. John Shuster, USA Curling
Saturday morning, desperate to have some background TV distraction as I chased a toddler around, I discovered that the Olympic Channel was airing the USA vs. Sweden curling gold medal match from the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. It was the best thing I could have hoped for—as with many sporting events, I participate in a too-complicated Olympics pool, and in 2018 the 60 of us in the pool developed an obsession with John Shuster, the U.S. skip (read: team captain who throws the last two stones each end). It was an ironic obsession at first—we knew Shuster from previous Olympics, an..

Michael Jordan bought Scottie Pippen golf clubs just so he could take all his money on the course

VINCENT LAFORETFor the first time in more than a month, it felt like we were watching live sports again on Sunday night as ESPN's highly anticipated docuseries, “The Last Dance,” debuted. Sure, the subject matter was two decades old, but there was plenty of new footage involving Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, it drew a large audience, and you could even bet on it! It was fun for the whole family! Well, except for all the cursing and the fact it started way too late for kids.
Heck, even I had to stay up past my bedtime to watch the second episode. But I'm glad I did because it gave us two classic MJ stories involving golf. Oh, and a cameo by Charles Oakley in which he literally slaps around Scottie Pippen as a rookie. OAK!

Apparently, Jordan was more subtle in his rookie hazing. In fact, he even gave Scottie golf clubs as a nice gesture. Kidding! Of course, one of the most cutthroat competitor..

Porn site offers Joe Buck $1 million to announce videos, Buck has perfect response

Last month, during a radio interview, Joe Buck revealed that he had received “quite a few” NSFW videos for him to do play-by-play for on Twitter. Not surprisingly, Buck passed, saying that maybe he'd get around to doing that later in his life. But everybody has a price, don't they?
Actually, thankfully, no, they do not. At least Buck doesn't. According to Darren Rovell, a porn site offered Buck $1 million to announce its cam shows live, which is not a sentence I could ever dream of typing when I chose journalism as a college major. And by dream I mean having the worst nightmare one could possibly have:

What an absolutely wild offer, which, according to TMZ, was for just six weeks of work. What site is it, you ask? Go find out for yourself, you sickos.
Buck turned down the offer with an absolutely perfect response on Twitter:

Joe Buck. Big porn guy. Noted.
