Pitbull is embarking on a motivational speaking tour and the seminars are going to be LIT

Good news and bad news this week for Miami and fans of ghoulishly oversized Dad-From-Stranger Things eyewear. The good news: Local hero Pitbull is planning a massive 2019 tour. The bad news: Mr. Global Warming Worldwide How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck Biggity Boy Diggity Dog will have a co-headliner. The confounding news: The co-headliner is Tony Robbins, and the two will be … motivational … speaking? Together? Motivationally? Helping us learn the subtle art of not giving a f**k, and awakening the giant within? Ugh, look this shit was not OK when Andrew WK did it, and we liked one of his records. Happily, we at The Loop, having committed ourselves to the intersection of golf and pop-rap self-help, have obtained a transcript from Pitbull’s performance, which we present to you here in its iggity entirety:
WHAT’S UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND DALE (wait for applause)!
Thank you, thank you. I am your host, Pitbull (wait for applause), and I am thrilled to include (name of city) on my ..

Super well-adjusted soccer fan gets team’s jersey tattooed on his torso

Here at The Loop, we see unbelievably bad sports tattoos every day. It's just one of the many crosses we bear in our effort to bring you the most random sports content on the internet. For example…

But don't worry, at least his nipples don't look weird now or anything (just kidding, they look superrrrr weird):

Ryan Palmer tells Jordan Spieth to “Go get that” after sinking putt

It wasn't quite as badass as Michael Jordan's shrug or even Desmond Howard's Heisman pose, but Jordan Spieth's “Go get that!” shout after dropping an eagle during last year's Open Championship run became an iconic moment the instant those words left the Texan's lips.

And, though never duplicated, such classics are often replicated. Which is why Ryan Palmer, partner to Spieth at this week's Zurich Classic, repeated the three-time major winner's famous line after holing out for birdie at TPC Louisiana's 16th hole on Thursday morning:

A funny scene, albeit one that makes us sad. Because as nice as that is, can you imagine Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson teaming up at this event, with Phil busting out Big Cat's patented fist pump? It would cause either the biggest smile from Woods or start World War III. Hey, there's always next y..

Donovan Mitchell tells Thunder fans ‘see y’all next year’ after blowing 25-point lead. Bold!

Coming into the NBA Playoffs, the Utah Jazz and their star rookie Donovan Mitchell were playing with house money. Mitchell already put together an NBA ROY-worthy season, and even though the Jazz had earned the 5-seed and had a good enough team to compete with Oklahoma City, most of us expected the Thunder to advance in a hard-fought series.
Fast forward 10 days and the Jazz found themselves leading the series 3-1, dominating in all three consecutive victories after a game one loss in OKC. Suddenly, the Jazz were now the favorite, and with Mitchell backing up his fantastic rookie year with an even better playoff performance (26.6 points per game), Utah was skating into round two. On Thursday night, it quickly became a foregone conclusion when the Jazz took a commanding 25-point lead in a close-out game five. Then Russell Westbrook happened.
As we now know, the Jazz went on to collapse in epic fashion, and that house money has now shifted into mounting pressure as they head back home for..

Kid gives priceless reaction to LeBron James’ buzzer-beater

Cleveland Cavaliers fans had to feel pretty good when LeBron James rose to shoot a potential game-winning shot (even if it was from deep) on Wednesday night. After all, they had seen this show before. But one in particular, had more confidence the buzzer-beater was going in than LeBron himself.
Check out this kid, who didn't even need to watch the shot that capped another epic performance by The King (44 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) and gave the Cavs a 3-2 lead in their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers:

That is some serious swagger.

Remember when people said LeBron never hits big shots down the stretch? That was funny. Check out these two stats regarding clutch shots in the NBA playoffs:
