I’m not trying to write this much about Macklemore, stories just keep happening. The guy is set to headline the Preakness with Pitbull this weekend and hung out onstage with the Oregon Duck LAST weekend. In two weekends he’ll be dating Kate Upton and winning a Most Beautiful Surfing Dog contest or whatever and we’ll never be rid of him.

Anyway, the reason we’re talking about him today is because he’s a loyal resident of Seattle, Washington, and as such, that makes him disdainful of the fine men and women of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Something about a pro basketball team being torn away moments before they became championship contenders, who can say for sure? So what happens when the NEW Sonics try to use the hit song of a guy who loves the OLD Sonics as their pre-game hype music?

TWITTER WARZ.

Oh boy, you guys. It’s about to get super dusty up in here.

Kevin Durant further proved that he’s one of the greatest guys on the planet – seriously, he can bounce a ball of a woman’s face and she’ll just laugh – when he joined in the Twitter hashtag campaign #DressNathanOut that some students at Owasso High School in Oklahoma started to get some attention for the their basketball team’s manager, Nathan Mitcham. A special needs student, Mitcham also gained fans in Toby Keith, Carrie Underwood and Johnny Manziel, who all Tweeted the hashtag to help get Mitcham in this past Tuesday’s game against Sand Springs High School.

Based on the outpouring of support and the amazing stories in the aftermath, I don’t think that Mitcham’s playing time was ever in question, but he nevertheless received his coach’s permission to play, and he took the court for the final 3 minutes in Owasso’s 20-point victory that night. And not only did he close out the game, but he also scored 8 points as 2,000 people in a 1,400-capacity arena cheered him on.

God, I love sports so much sometimes.

Hey, someone tipped over my medical marijuana distribution center!

Oklahoma! The answer is Oklahoma. Sorry, Florida and Ohio, but you don’t win this round. Rod Roddy, tell us how Oklahoma managed to take home today’s top scumbag news honors.

Under cover drug agents defuse a mini meth lab found inside a porta-potty in the middle of a golf course Tuesday in Purcell.

Staffers noticed strange sports drink bottles with chemicals inside the porta-potty and called police.

Officers arrived and soon realized someone had been inside making meth using the “shake and bake” method. (Via KFOR TV, H/T to Bunkie Perkins)

Two men are currently wanted for questioning…

The Oklahoma City Thunder popped up in a local ad for Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge, and it’s the stuff awkward public access dreams are made of. I feel you, Kendrick Perkins. Their next ad should just be Serge Ibaka saying “if you don’t buy a car from Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge I will rip off your arms”. (via Last Angry Fan)

From About.com Golf:

There is one 55 known to have been posted, and it was posted by a golfer you might have heard of: Homero Blancas. Blancas played on the PGA Tour in the 1960s and 1970s, and later on the Champions Tour.

Now, unless Shane Bacon, Reddit and an Oklahoman Australian are lying to me, we have two.

What you’re looking at is quite possibly the greatest 18 holes of golf ever played. The incredible 16-under round of 55 belongs to Aussie golfer Rhein Gibson, who took in a few rounds with his friends at River Oaks Golf Club in Oklahoma. His time spent at Oklahoma Christian University made him familiar with the course, and after a strong opening 10 he went full-on Super Saiyan and accomplished a final eight holes that would turn Video Game Tiger Woods into Actual Tiger Woods. Six birdies and two eagles. I can’t do that at Tiny Town Golf if I pick up the ball and drop it into the hole.

Sure, it was a practice round. Sure, you could probably just get a golf scorecard, write in a bunch of 1s, scan it, upload it to Reddit and convince a ton of people that you actually golfed it. But a 55 is a 55, and the end of the eye witness report is too amazing to be a lie:

Jim Young, a teaching pro and regular member of the Saturday morning group, summed it up hilariously. “Hey Rhein,” he said. “Act like you’ve been there before, even if NO ONE ever has!”

You might be asking yourself: “What do you do after you shoot a 16 under 55?”

If you are Rhein Gibson, you go home and mow the lawn.

I’m gonna go celebrate by marking down 12-over at Glow Golf.

Full court alleys-oop happen from time to time, but as a buzzer beater? I’m not sure what was on the line in this Vinita, Oklahoma, high school game and I’m not even sure about the score — the scoreboard makes it look like it’s 40-5 — but a clock-manipulating bounce pass (it’s not gonna start until someone touches the ball) off the inbound to a guy downcourt is the raddest whether they won the game with it or not.

Of course, the major issue of the video is the terrible defense, so if it was actually 40-5 I wouldn’t be shocked.
