There are a lot of unknowns heading into this Olympic men's hockey competition, the first without NHL players in 24 years. We don't know the names of the most of the players. We don't if the US has a speck of a chance. We don't know what to make of Russia, especially since they can't even be technically called Russia.
The only thing for sure is that these USA Hockey-themed beer cans issued by Labatt need to be a vital part of the Olympic hockey viewing experience.

Now, here's the part where we should remind you that Pyeongchang, South Korea is halfway around the world and most of the games will be played in the early morning in the U.S. (the Americans open next Wednesday at 7:10 a.m. ET against Slovenia). By that measure, a USA Hockey-themed cup of Dunkin' Donuts, or perhaps USA-engraved Eggo waffles, might be more appropriate. But that's lame, and frankly the U.S. men aren't considered..

Fantasy Golf Podcast: Which of golf's top 3 will tame Pebble Beach?

Giannis Antetokounmpo was on the rare receiving end of a posterizing dunk when Kristaps Porzingis put one on him (Of course, Porzingis also tore his ACL on the play because the Knicks are cursed and I don't want to talk about it) during the second quarter of Tuesday night's game against the Knicks. It didn't take him long to respond with one of his own highlights. In fact, we're going to declare this jam over Knicks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. the NBA's dunk of the year because the Greek Freak literally jumped over him. Check it out:

Good lord, Giannis has hops. There were some shades of Vince Carter at the 2000 Olympics when he jumped over 7-foot-2 Frederic Weiss for arguably the greatest dunk in basketball history:
The Knicks had drafted Weiss (over Ron Artest) the previous year, and the Frenchman never played a game in the NBA. Again, the Knicks are cursed and I don't want to talk about it.
But I&#..

The city of Philadelphia is still lit after its Super Bowl victory, and by that we mean no really, the city is on fire, why isn’t somebody doing something? But Philadelphia won’t let little things like “scattered vandalism” and “exploding garbage trucks” stop it from hosting a blowout Super Bowl parade on Thursday, a day when the city can come together to say, hey fellas, let’s get day-drunk and explode this stranger’s Buick together.

As you might expect, lawmakers — and those charged with policing people who have been drinking cheap beer and/or hoagie juice for 72 hours — have been gearing up for chaos, and have issued these guidelines for possible Philadelphia Parade Infractions, horse-related and otherwise:

We hope you're sitting down. Adam Stalmach, aka the Scottsdale Streaker at last week's Waste Management Phoenix Open, says alcohol may have been a factor in his decision to bare it all.
“I definitely wouldn’t have done it if I was sober,” Stalmach told AZfamily.com.
Stalmach said that he pounded “at least” eight drinks before showing the world his birthday suit, with the libations ranging from “Coors Light to regular Coors to chardonnay.” Truly an elixir from the gods.
Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, the stunt cost him dearly. He spent five days in jail, has to pay $1,500 in fines and lost his bartending job.
And yet, while contrite — “I definitely wouldn't do it again,” he said — Stalmach didn't express regret.
“Yeah, it was worth it,” Stalmach said. “As long as people got a kick out of it, it was worth it.”
Heroes get remembered. But legends never die.

David CannonDUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – DECEMBER 09: Paige Spiranac of the United States plays her second shot at the 14th hole during the delayed second round of the 2016 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters on the Majlis Course at the Emirates Golf Club on December 9, 2016 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by David Cannon/Getty Images)Paige Spiranac has become quite the polarizing figure in golf, whether it be discussion among her peers or in very level-headed Internet comment sections. However you feel about her, there's no denying her popularity on social media and Instagram in particular, where she has 1.3 million followers that enjoy her…content.
With that comes plenty of critics, often harsh, which have led Spiranac to speak out against cyber-bullying and how its affected her. This latest career move will only fuel more of it, but Spiranac is choosing to use the platform to continue the fight against it. On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated announced the professional golfer/social..

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we finally got good Super Bowl numbers, but, well, let’s just say the Eagles’ kicker isn’t our favorite athlete. Still, it was a great night overall. My wife made chili and guac, Justin Timberlake dazzled, and of course, the Patriots lost. And now I can’t stop “Can’t Stop The Feeling” from playing in my head as I picture images such as these:

Gary Woodland: After several seasons without a victory and going through a difficult 2017 with his wife in which they lost an unborn daughter, Woodland was understandably emotional after winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open. “Yeah, that was just kind of a tribute to last year,” Woodland said. “Obviously, we lost a little girl, and b..

Joshua Kelley—AKA @holein1trickshots—is a Van Gogh-ian trick shot savant; an eccentric once-in-a-generation artiste who paints with a driver and an iPhone and instead of a brush and a canvas. The beautiful mind behind wizardry like this…

…Kelley has blown our minds time and time again, but his latest masterpiece may be his best yet. Look upon it and weep, ye humble golf pilgrims:

A cross between The Matrix and The Masters, this ricochet-club-flip hybrid—executed in a single seamless motion—would end with most golfers getting a grip to ol' eye socket, but Kelley manages to make it look effortless, as if this is how he drives it every time he steps to the tee box with the Saturday starting queue watching on. So pour yourself a nice robust red, throw on some Wagner, and add a little culture to your evening, becuase in the weird, wide world of trick shots, this is as close to a work of art as yo..
