Almost two months to the day after an overturned truck spilling 60,000 pounds of Busch beer on a Florida highway, Poland had its own odd massive mess when a tanker carrying 12 tons of liquid chocolate toppled over. Yep, that's 12 TONS of liquid chocolate. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
But those stuck in this glorious brown goo weren't thrilled. All four lanes of a major road connecting Warsaw and Poznan were closed, causing major delays. But boy, the entire area must have smelled fantastic.

“We have to remove the truck from the highway first,” Marlena Kukawka, a media officer for the police in the small town of Slupca, told the New York Times. “It will take a few hours or more.”

And they also had to remove the chocolate. Kukawka said firefighters sprayed hot water to melt away this liquid gold. Tragic. A bulldozer was also us..

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Rory McIlroy didn’t break par until his fourth time at The Players Championship.

The next step is having a chance on Sunday.

The four-time major champion has learned to love the TPC Sawgrass – ”learned to like,” he quickly clarified with a smile – and he has taken small steps toward contention. The Stadium Course has a history of not favoring any one style of play, and the list of winners at the PGA Tour’s premier event illustrates that, going from Greg Norman to Lee Janzen, from Tiger Woods to Craig Perks, from Henrik Stenson to Tim Clark.

”I felt like it handcuffed me,” McIlroy said. ”I felt like I was just being stubborn, trying to hit driver where there’s no point in hitting drive. So I’ve learned to take it for what it is – a very positional golf course.”

Attitude is everything in golf, especially on this Pete Dye-designed course created on land that used to be a swamp.

McIlroy said he now looks forward to The Players ..

(Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Spend some time watching pros hit in to the par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass during a Wednesday practice round and you won’t see anything that exciting, save for an ace. We get it, it’s an island green, there’s water around it, big deal. For the world’s best, it’s a little pitching wedge, maybe a 9-iron if it’s windy. Rory McIlroy was practically shaking in his boots over it during his press conference.
“I've always said, you put a bunch of grass around that hole and it's the easiest par-3 in the world,” said McIlroy. “You just have to make sure you get the wind right.”
Not exactly the 280-yard par-3 eighth at Oakmont we’re talking about here. Take your 3 ..

Michael Hickey(Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)Remember when the New York Mets were the best team in baseball, starting out 11-1 this spring? They had a renewed energy in the clubhouse, a formidable lineup, arms were finally healthy…so much for that. The Mets have gone 7-15 since that hot start, with the bats coming back to earth, the arms now ice cold and injured, and Matt Harvey, the former face of the franchise, no longer on the team.
But if you think the club has hit rock bottom, then clearly you're not a Mets fan. Because being a Mets fan is resigning yourself to a fate of unending sadness, knowing that whatever woes encountered today will be topped by tomorrow's embarrassment. Such as this snafu in Cincinnati, where the Mets—an alleged professional baseball team—batted out of order.
In the FIRST INNING.

The two most dominating forces in culture at the moment are “Avengers: Infinity War” and LeBron James. The former totaled $1 billion quicker than any film in movie history and spawned thousands of think-pieces and Reddit fan theories, the latter single-handedly might have killed basketball for an entire country. Following James' commanding performance over the Toronto Raptors, fans noticed the symmetry between the two forces. Specifically, James and Thanos, the magisterial villain who leaves a wake of destruction in his path.
So, the Internet being the Internet, someone compiled an Avengers-themed trailer for LeBron's historic dismantling of the Raptors, with the King playing the role of the Mad Titan:
A well-done video, beautifully cut and interweaved with “Infinity War” dialogue, real-life commentary and clips of LeBron doing LeBron things. And, at first glance, apropos, given…
SPOILER ALERT
…Thanos comes out on top at the end of the movie.
Except, one gigantic flaw wit..

TopgolfIf you’re like us, you wake every morning and spent 10 minutes staring at the ceiling and thinking, What have I been doing that’s so important that I didn’t think to invent Topgolf? and then you hit yourself with a waffle and head off to your relatively boring job.
With its increasingly omnipresent web of locations — just drive toward the affluent suburb nearest you and look for 170-foot-tall netting — Topgolf has exploded thanks to its forehead-slappingly simple formula: driving range + bar + accessible vibe (because, let’s be honest, this sport can be pretty intimidating for outsiders). It works for you and your dumb golf friends; it also works for families with small children who are primarily concerned with hitting the ball in a reasonably forward-ish direction. If you’ve never been, here’s a primer on what’s going on inside the towering netting:
What is Topgolf?
Short version: three-story-tall driving range with bar and kitchen. The range is populated by several dozen bays,..

A virus at the NCAA Women's Regional at University of Texas Golf Club in Austin is starting to impact play as teams try to advance to the NCAA Championship

“Inside the NBA” is universally beloved, and arguably the only postgame show in sports that matters. The chemistry between Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal is perfectly calibrated, and though the program is guilty of making the occasional uninformed or delusional take, their opinions and observations do emit from a sincere place. Moreover, the cast is not afraid to tangle, and not just in a “Hey, the producers said we need to take different sides for captivating television” fashion.
In that same vein, sometimes things go off the rails, for better or worse. We're chalking this video up towards the former.
On Tuesday night, the crew tackled the Toronto Raptors and DeMar DeRozan, the All-NBA talent who was such a disaster in the playoffs that media and fans are questioning his future with the team. According to Barkley, the onus on fixing the relationship resides with coach Dwayne Casey. Shaq…well, Shaq did not agree. At least, we think that was..

Icon SportswireWe're not here to pick on anybody. We have Orioles fans on staff and we definitely understand what it's like to have a bad day at the office. That said, we have to call a matzo ball a matzo ball, and this is one big matzo ball: Dylan Bundy's performance in last night's 15-7 drubbing by the equally lowly Royals was the worst by a starting pitcher in MLB history. Full stop. On 28 pitches, Bundy gave up a single, two walks, FOUR dingers, and seven runs all without recording an out. If you're wondering what that looks like on paper, well, here you go. We hope you have strong stomach:

Even worse is how it played out in actual, horrible life. Rated NC-17 for graphic emotional violence.

By the time Bundy was yanked in the middle of the TOP of the first, he had become the first major league pitcher to ever give up four home runs without recording a..

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Rickie Fowler is back at the site of his greatest victory, the one that was supposed to catapult his career.

He returns to the Players Championship with just one PGA Tour win since that dramatic closing performance on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in 2015.

He finished birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie to force a playoff with Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner, and then won on the fourth extra hole. Fowler showed the kind of back-nine resolve that’s been missing too often during his young career.

The 29-year-old Fowler flashed it again during the final round at the Masters last month, making five birdies over the final 11 holes and putting pressure on winner Patrick Reed. But, once again, Fowler came up oh-so short.

”I feel like we’ve had some good chances,” Fowler said Tuesday. ”It would have been nice to have a few better finishes. … I feel like we’re in a great spot. Just get a couple things straightened out, minor tweaks, and i..
