“She Would Smack Me On The Side Of The Head” – Scottie Scheffler’s Key To Success Is A Wife That Keeps Him Grounded

Scottie Sheffler

Scottie Scheffler can't stop winning. The PGA Tour player has won the last two events that have been held, and just became the first professional golfer to ever repeat as champion at The Players. Scheffler has held on to the world number one title for quite some time, and now that he's on this historic role, he probably won't be giving it up anytime soon. Especially if he keeps hitting clutch shots like this on Sundays: https://twitter.com/GolfDigest/status/1769715512949318133 He's arguably the best ball striker on the planet, and he's got the mental fortitude to back it all up. Scheffler sometimes struggles with putting, but if he's rolling the flat stick well, who actually stands a chance to beat him? And what's the guy's secret? Every pro and amateur golfer is looking at his unorthodox swing and wondering how Scottie is able to do it all and somehow make it look easy. Well, after winning The Players, Scheffler gave a lot of credit to the support system he has around him. Specifically his wife Meredith, who he said keeps him grounded: "I have a great wife, and if I started taking my trophies and putting them all over the house and walking in all big-time, I think she would smack me on the side of the head and tell me to get over myself pretty quickly." https://twitter.com/golfweek/status/1769509248470278269 There you go. Happy wife, happy life (and best-in-the-world golf game). It's really as simple as that. Some on social media took notes on that, while others suggested that kind of grounding support from their significant others doesn't work for them: For those golfers, or golf fans out there, "strokes-gained-meredith" is a pretty solid joke. Well done Twitter/X user. And just in case you have an hour to spare, you could spend it watching every single shot from Scottie Scheffler's Players Championship victory: https://twitter.com/THEPLAYERS/status/1769842531133481353

“Holler And Swaller” – Lainey Wilson Throws Down A Shoey On Stage In Australia

Lainey Wilson

Another one of country music's blonde bombshells embracing tradition. Nothing screams the Land Down Under like drinking a (probably lukewarm) beer from a cowboy boot. Ah yes, the age-old Australian tradition of shoeys. It has to be a right of passage for musicians to do a shoey during their first trip to Australia. And Lainey Wilson is doing a few shows in Australia and Europe as part of her LAINEY WILSON: LIVE tour before she hits the road for her extensive headlining Country's Cool Again Tour. After Megan Moroney crushed her shoey, Lainey Wilson also had to step up to the plate during her show. Lainey loops arms with her guitar player before hyping herself up to throw it back: "Are you ready for this? I cannot believe I am drinking beer out of a boot. But I am dang excited about it. You ready, brother? Let's go, come on! HOLLER AND SWALLER!" https://www.instagram.com/p/C4qjoJwOeKt/ Just another day in the office... Wilson was blown out of the water by the reaction she got from her Australian fans. As this was her first time on the continent, there is always the fear of how international fans will perceive her on stage or the energy they will bring. In an Instagram post after the show, Wilson noted how she felt so connected to those in the audience. "Australia, thank y’all taking me down under with y’all. When I decided to write songs as a little girl, I never thought somebody on the other side of the world would be able to relate to my story. I was just a little redneck from Baskin… man was I wrong?! We are all a lot more alike than you think. We all just wanna feel something." https://www.instagram.com/p/C4osTiWuIQH/?img_index=1 Lainey Wilson is undoubtedly part of a historical moment for the genre. Her brand image is so much more than just an artist; she also shines a light on the western and agricultural industries. She's making it known worldwide that "Country's Cool Again." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-GBdsu8j00

The New Houston Texans Jerseys Leaked, So The Team’s CEO Posted A Better Picture To Reddit

Houston Texans jerseys

In the age of the internet you learn to adapt fast. Admittedly, I don't keep up on the in's and out's of the Houston Texans' jersey designs, but apparently it was known the team was going to roll out some updated ones soon. Well, as tends to happen on the internet, some unnamed source got a hold of a picture and posted them online for the wide world to see. https://twitter.com/713HouSports/status/1769810155993002131 At first glance I did like them but it would be nice to see them on an actual NFL player, because that is not Derek Stingley Jr... Well, ask and you shall received thanks to the team's owner Cal McNair. McNair has been involved with the team since his father Bob McNair founded them in 2002. His mother, Janice, still owns the majority of the team and Cal was made the teams CEO in 2019. While some executive would be upset that their new jersey announcement was ruined by some twerps in their mother's basement (their hypothetical words, not mine), Cal pulled an Uno reverse and straight up posted an official picture of the new jersey design on the team's sub-Reddit. https://twitter.com/tmilrealdeal/status/1769830996285730940 Gotta respect it. I do like the design, clean and crisp, but am I the only one who thinks they looks eerily similar to the Falcon's? One quick look on X shows that I'm not the only one who got that impression... https://twitter.com/USMCTexan78/status/1769855801995207119 https://twitter.com/KingPlex__/status/1769850945783910501 https://twitter.com/Mrstriker815/status/1769843189551087845 There were also quite a bit of people saying they belong in the XFL (now UFL), plenty saying they were atrocious, and many more saying they copied the Jets design, but people really just love to complain online and I'm sure most of those haters will be buying a new CJ Stroud uni when they're up on the team shop... What do you think, better or worse than the current ones? https://twitter.com/fashion_nfl/status/1769844138684678555

“I Went Hard There For A Minute” – Kacey Musgraves Reflects On Her Stoner Phase

Kacey Musgraves country music

"Roll out of bed, hit the gravity bong that I made..." Has easily become a fan favorite line from Kacey Musgraves' title single off her new album, Deeper Well. While the song is about shedding things that no longer serve you and growing up and out of those sometimes bad habits, fans latched on to this verse. Well... maybe the stoners of Musgraves' fanbase did. Musgraves had always advocated for some recreational gardening (if you will), being an early artist in the genre to say outright she likes getting high. If we take a walk down memory lane, we see this in the title for the track "High Time," lyrics in “Dandelion," and her famously iconic line from "Follow Your Arrow:" “When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight Roll up a joint, or don’t Just follow your arrow wherever it points, yeah..." In an interview with Cut Magazine, she noted that she has grown out of this behavior, saying: “Sorry, y’all! It’s not for this chapter.” While she might have quit weed for now, that's not stopping her from talking about it at shows. During a recent show, Musgraves found herself giggling, reflecting on how much of a stoner she used to be. "I went hard there for a minute; I don't know; I was literally such a stoner. I always had weed in any...you could open any purse in my house...you know."  She says as she acts out weed falling out of every purse. She's honestly so real for talking about this so openly... protect this woman at all costs.

Drone Operator May Have Saved Spear Fisherman’s Life, Warns Him Of Large White Shark Heading His Way

Shark approaches spearfisherman

Yes, drones can be annoying from time to time, especially when your friend gets one and won't shut up about it, but as this video proves, they can also be used to literally save a life. Carlos Gauna is a filmmaker and artist who uses his drone to film sharks off the California coast and honed in on a large white shark swimming on the surface near a fishing boat, but a close look showed a potentially deadly situation unfolding before his eyes. One of the anglers on the boat decided to cool off and jumped in the water, unaware that a white shark was nearby. The men had two fish on a stringer hanging off the boat, so between those and the sounds of the man swimming, the shark took note and started coming up to get a better look. Both men were completely unaware that the shark was closing towards them, or even in their vicinity, so Gauna jumped into action and may have just saved the man's life. He used his signaled to the men with his drone that the shark was close by, which allowed the guy to scamped up the ladder and back into the safety of the boat. Gauna gave more details in the video's caption: "This was one of the more interesting encounters I've filmed. This fisherman was swimming next to his boat. I'm standing on a beach nearly two miles away and signal the man with the drone simply to let him know he was near a larger juvenile white shark. This is nearly a 10-11 foot shark, so definitely not small. This is a great example of situational awareness and why it's important to know when and where to swim. In this case, the fisherman decided to jump in the water right next to his boat, which is fine, except he had two live fish, probably his days catch, hanging off the side of the boat... Had a negative encounter occurred it's likely only the attack gets reported and not the circumstances that led to it. As often happens. In this case, a white shark is attracted to the stress signals given by live fish on a stringer. Luckily, nothing happened but it's a good reminder that in the ocean, education and awareness is just as important as on land." Big shoutout to the man behind the drone. Being able to save someone's life while 2 miles away sure seems like a superpower and outweighs any annoyance people can have with their buzzing sounds. Gotta stay keep your eyes peeled out there, even when everything seems completely peaceful as you float in the Pacific Ocean. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hE57ax0R1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Golden Eagle Dive Bombs Deer, Body Slams It Before Dinner Is Officially Served

golden eagle deer

A golden eagle with a golden opportunity. You shouldn't ever underestimate the size of a golden eagle. The bird of prey is among the largest of all flying creatures in North America. They can boast a wingspan 72 to 86 inches (up to 7 feet), so that alone makes the golden eagle one of the Animal Kingdom's most intimidating birds. Though they typically stick to hunting smaller animals like rabbits, squirrels, and other mid-sized prey, golden eagles have been known to pick on things that are little bit bigger than their size. So yes, that means they go against the "pick on something your own size" saying. That's has been made evident by unbelievable videos of golden eagles picking up and carrying off goats, flying off with a fox in tow, and even a pair of the eagles taking down a fully grown wolf. In case you need it plainly spelled out for you, nothing is off the menu for golden eagles. The large birds can be dangerous to just about anything on land. A golden eagle's agility  combined with its speed and their razor sharp talons can spell trouble for even the fiercest of animals. And don't forget that they are usually launching aerial attacks, which often benefits them with the element of surprise. It seems as though that's how the golden eagle in the video below was able to take down a smaller deer. This won't be the biggest buck you've ever seen by any means, but it also isn't Bambi. The deer was doing its best to run away from the approaching golden eagle, though it was ultimately no match for the sharp-taloned eagle. The golden eagle flew down with tremendous speed and latched on to the back of the smaller deer, sending it tumbling and leaving it in a pretzel on the ground. It might not have been part of the initial attack plan, but the golden eagle basically body slammed the deer before it brought it to a complete stop. If it was an accident, it worked out for the big bird. Even with the golden eagle digging into its upper torso, the small deer put up a valiant fight. However, the sizable bird was in full control by the end of the clip, and probably had itself one heck of a meal when it was all said and done. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1u438JAOSo

Former UFC Champ Mark Coleman Back In The Gym A Week After He Nearly Died Rescuing His Parents From A House Fire

Mark Coleman

Former UFC Champion Mark Coleman was a tough guy to knock down back in his prime, and he appears to still be that way years later. In case you missed it, Coleman was taken to the hospital and was in critical condition after he rushed into his childhood home that was engulfed in flames to save his parents. The Ohio home was considered a total loss, and though Coleman's parents made it out safely, it almost cost the former MMA fighter his life. https://twitter.com/JESnowden/status/1767637195555299781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1767637195555299781%7Ctwgr%5E835d3556bf8125f30b760d977f8042baf1c9d28a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F03%2F14%2Fformer-ufc-champ-mark-coleman-awake-responsive-after-saving-his-parents-from-house-fire-earlier-this-week%2F Unfortunately, many people in the fighting world were hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. The initial reports and updates on Coleman's health weren't promising, and an outpouring of thoughts and prayers were sent his way as the first ever UFC champ was battling for his life. Finally, on Thursday of last week, good news hit the MMA world. A video showing Coleman "awake and alert" was posted onto social media, and it was about as emotional as it gets. The footage featured Mark hugging his family, crying, and saying that he was the "happiest man in the world." Then earlier today, Coleman posted onto his own social media account with a video that was accompanied by this inspirational message: "God is great. I am healing up very well. My lungs are sore. My eyes are burnt but I’m very much alive and well. I feel so blessed it’s in my higher power's hands. He wants me to move forward today and I am. I’m overwhelmed by the love and support that I have received, if I had a wish it would be that I could meet each and every one of you to give you a big hug and thank you in person. Everybody check in on your loved ones life is good life is what you make it. Everything starts with a thought keep the negative thoughts out of your head, love you all so much." How great it is to see that Coleman is doing well. Apparently well enough to even get back into the gym. He might not have been working out, but he stopped by his local UFC training gym and was caught on camera by fighter Matt Brown pronouncing that Coleman was "back." Mark had this to say in response: "I never left... well, for a second." https://twitter.com/aaronbronsteter/status/1769768209517793681 He's gotta be one of the toughest people to ever walk on planet Earth...

Louisiana Woman Tries To Kick An Alligator Off The Road

Louisiana woman moves gator

Move over Florida Woman, there's a new sheriff in town. The first state many people think of (myself included) when alligators are brought up is Florida. And while the Sunshine State does have around 1 million swamp puppies swimming in its waters, the real gator king state is Louisiana. Over 2 million alligators live in every corner of the bayous, lakes, and rivers of the Pelican State, and with twice the gators and 20% less square milage, you know that Louisianans have to be pretty used to dealing with these monsters on a somewhat regular basis. But "dealing with them" is a pretty broad term. Sometimes it can mean knowing to keep your distance and call in animal control when one's really causing some problems. It can also mean trying to move one that's causing a traffic jam by kicking it off the road, although that way seems to be less effective, and we have the video to prove it. While it was taken back in 2021, this video is going viral once again and was filmed by a lady in her car who watched the whole thing unfold. A smaller alligator, probably only 4 or 5 feet, was trying to cross the road when it suddenly stopped, probably scared of the cars and trucks that were passing by. Eventually traffic was forced to stop and one woman got out of her vehicle and tried to play the hero. Dressed like she was out for a morning run, she used her pink sneakers to kick at the gator, who was having none of it and even gave a small snap at her foot. Brave? Sure, but did it work and was it dumb? No and yes, respectively. Granted, it wasn't that big of a gator, but should that alligator decided to charge you after you, it's pretty hard to run away when you're standing on one foot. A guy eventually comes out to help her and brings a stick, which seems to be a better option, and we don't know how it ended, but we did get this incredible video out of the ordeal. Put some respect on Louisiana woman's name.

Could You Pass This Nashville Police Agility Test? The Internet Sounds Off On “Third Grade Obstacle Course” Training Video

Nashville police

Gonna get this out of the way now: The police here in Nashville and around the countries are heroes who do jobs that most of us could never do. That heroism has been on full display from the Metro Nashville Police Department several times over the past few years, not to mention all that they have to put up on the weekends with the drunk tourists downtown. But a training video that shows the agility test required of new Nashville police officers has recently surfaced, and has some online questioning - and mocking - the physical requirements to make it through training. The video, which was posted in 2021, shows the tasks officers must perform in order to pass the agility test, including jumping over a 3-foot chain link fence, as well as a 3-foot wall. Then, a 99-yard agility run that "simulates a short-distance foot pursuit," and includes such obstacles as...running through some cones, and jumping over a sawhorse and some blocks of wood. Seems pretty real-world to me. Well the video caught the attention of political commentator Matt Walsh, who accused the agency of lowering standards and compared the requirements to "an obstacle course set up for third graders at recess." https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1769734318098649483 And many in the comments agreed, even saying that they've seen harder obstacle courses on Nickelodeon shows. (That Aggro Crag from Guts always looked like a beast). https://twitter.com/VinceCoglianese/status/1769739463716938035 Even Elon Musk jumped into the debate: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1769784495677264272 And plenty of others had jokes about how easy the whole thing appears: https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1769820318405648588 https://twitter.com/plzbepatient/status/1769785967685058816 https://twitter.com/longbeachmike73/status/1769770798846284061 https://twitter.com/FatherofEpstein/status/1769813168174354601 So what do you think? Could you pass this test?
