And now, the most important sports moment of the weekend:
In the third round of the 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open, brothers Brent and Kip Henley race to the green at the 16th hole and Brent takes a tumble.
By “takes a tumble” they mean “faceplants.” Video is below.
“Hey guys? Can I try riding on your skateboard once? I can? Okay, what do I do? Do I just roll down the ramp? I can just roll down it and not get hurt, right? Are you sure? Are you sure I don’t need a helmet? Yeah? Can I go now? Okay…”
I've never understood the hurdles. What does jumping over obstacles that are exactly equidistant prove anyway? It would be much more exciting and entertaining if they staged this event at a house party. As the cops rushed in to break up the shindig, we could see what world-class hurdlers could really do on the uneven terrain and different fence heights of a suburban neighborhood. If you win, you get a gold medal; if you lose, you have to call your parents from the hoosegow. I bet Edwin Moses would fare much better than I did in this sport in high school. -KD
