Golf Pros Are Human, Here's Proof

Watch Charley Hoffman hit a total duff off the tee -- and laugh

Maybe you played golf on Saturday. If you did, you probably hit some shots you're not proud of. But you definitely didn't have millions of people watching.

Such is life for PGA Tour pros, who contrary to popular belief, are susceptible on occasion to the kinds of shots that you're used to seeing in your weekend foursome. And in the third round of the Valero Texas Open, Charley Hoffman, fell victim to such a rare awful swing on the sixth tee while being only one shot out of the lead. Check it out -- and feel a bit better about your own game:

Who Will Take Home The Norris Trophy?

Burns, Doughty, Karlsson named Norris finalists 

Trophy winner will be announced during 2016 NHL Awards on June 22

Karlsson is the first NHL defenseman to score at least 82 in a season since Brian Leetch of the New York Rangers (85 points) and Ray Bourque of the Boston Bruins (82 points) in 1995-96. Karlsson played all 82 regular-season games for a third straight season and led the NHL in ice time (2,375:55), even-strength ice time (1,885:26), and average ice time (28:58), all NHL career highs.

Doughty, who drove puck possession with a League-leading 58.89 Corsi-for percentage in 5-on-5 situations, ranked third in the League in average ice time (28:01) to help lead the Kings to a third consecutive top-five finish in team defense with a 2.34 goals-against average. His 14 goals and 51 points were his most since the 2009-10 season (16 goals, 59 points), and his plus-24 rating was an NHL career high. The Kings took 537 more shots than they allowed with Doughty on the ice at 5-on-5. Doughty, a three-time finalist, was third in voting in 2009-10 and second in 2014-15.

He Had A Good Run, But Not Good Enough

Boudreau fired as Ducks coach 

Lost four straight Game 7s at home; no timetable for replacement

ANAHEIM -- Bruce Boudreau was fired as coach of the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, two days after losing a fourth straight Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 at home.

"Bruce was a good coach. Won a lot of hockey games, won four division titles, and he's a very passionate hockey guy," Anaheim general manager Bob Murray said at Honda Center. "But the bottom line for me was that I did not feel that going forward and making the playoffs again, it would not be a good situation."

Under Boudreau, the Ducks won the Pacific Division four times but were eliminated in a Game 7 each season, including 2-1 by the Nashville Predators in the Western Conference First Round on Wednesday.

A Stupid Mathmatical Word Problem

A car travels a distance of 60 miles at an average speed of 30 mph. How fast would the car have to travel the same 60 mile distance home to average 60 mph over the entire trip?

Most people say 90 mph but this is actually a trick question!  The first leg of the trip covers 60 miles at an average speed of 30 mph.  So, this means the car traveled for 2 hours (60/30).  In order for the car to average 60 mph over 120 miles, it would have to travel for exactly 2 hours (120/60).  Since the car has already traveled for 2 hours, it is impossible for it to average 60 mph over the entire trip.

It's A Good Choice For A Project Car

The Nissan 240SX Is a Ubiquitous Tuner Car For a Good Reason 

If you can find a good one, a 240SX is the perfect entry into rear-wheel-drive fun.

When building a tuner car, there's the temptation to start with something rare and unique, but there's also good reasons to work with a popular platform. The 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX, for example, is relatively cheap to buy, and parts are plentiful and affordable. It's a template to build whatever you want.

Many of these '90s icons turned into drift cars, but the one featured in this Smoking Tire video is set up for autocross. The owner swapped out the original KA24 inline-four for a turbocharged 2.0-liter SR20 four-banger, a popular engine swap for the 240SX. It's tuned to a mild 275 horsepower, but  that's plenty to have fun in this 2700 lb car, without sacrificing reliability.

An upgraded suspension, clutch-type limited slip differential, sticky tires, and a short throw shifter turn this daily driver into the perfect road car you can take to the track. It's a mild build relative to something like an LS-swapped 240SX, but one that's reliable, easy on the wallet, and well suited for the road.

So That's Why It's So Damn Popular There

Kit Kats became so popular in Japan because of a literal translation of “kitto katsu”, which means “Surely win” and lead to the implication of the bar giving good luck (making it a popular snack, especially before exams.) (article)
