This is why we have to take our shoes off at the airport.
A popular TikToker decided to play a prank and see if he could pass off pretending to be Lakers guard Austin Reaves and gain entry into the Lakers’ Crypto.com arena.
Eric Decker, who goes by the TikTok handle ‘Airrack,’ explained his plan of action in his now viral video.
Airrack started off by saying that he thinks he could pull it off because he already “kind of” looked like Reaves to begin with. He then researched what kind of clothes Reaves usually wears and rented the same car that Reaves drives.

The NFL schedule is set to be formally released on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET, but that hasn’t stopped reporters around the league from leaking key games for some of the NFL’s most intriguing teams.

The Lakers lost to the Warriors in Wednesday night’s Game 5. They also lost one of their stars, Anthony Davis, for the last few minutes of the game after he took an elbow to the head and had to leave the bench in a wheelchair. 
There were immediate concerns that he had suffered a concussion because he was pretty woozy after taking the inadvertent elbow from Kevon Looney. Thankfully it looks like he will be O.K. and is reportedly expected to be available for Game 6, but head injuries aren’t something that should really be taken lightly.

Two teams that have been in the NBA Finals in recent years are on the verge of elimination in the second round of the playoffs.
The Celtics, last year’s championship runner-up, trail the 76ers 3–2 with Game 6 in Philadelphia. Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, is a road favorite with its season on the line.

Okay then.
The biggest test for the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets comes early this year, hosting the Bills on Monday Night Football. It just so happens to fall on September 11, and that’s where this gets a little awkward.

We don’t need to bloviate on the significance of 9/11, and having two New York teams face off will mean a lot on a day of remembrance. However, this is also the first time Rodgers’, shall we say “unique” way of thinking will run head-first into being the face of the Jets.

Lakers star Anthony Davis is expected to play in Game 6 against the Warriors on Friday after suffering a head injury Wednesday night, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
There was legitimate concern Wednesday that Davis suffered a concussion after he could be seen catching an elbow to the head from Golden State center Kevon Looney when the two were looking to grab a rebound under the basket in the fourth quarter. Davis was on the bench in noticeable pain and was wobbly trying to walk back to the locker room, according to Haynes. He even needed to be placed in a wheelchair.

New Buccaneers running back coach Skip Peete is preparing for his first season with the team after spending three seasons in the same position with the Cowboys. He, like many coaches and players, is trying to acclimate to the new coaching staff, players and city he joined during the offseason. His former Dallas tailback Ezekiel Elliott, on the other hand, remains unsigned. 
Elliott was released by the Cowboys in March after another year where his carries decreased, in large part because of Tony Pollard’s emergence in the backfield.

Hundreds, if not thousands of golfers worldwide will stand on a Par 3 tee box and announce to their playing partners that they’re about to make a hole-in-one. Some will come close, and some will miss the green entirely, but maybe one will actually deliver on his prediction.
At least one guy in the history of mankind has called his shot before pulling the trigger on a Par 3 before making an ace, and thankfully there is video evidence of the phenomenon.

1. We all know the world has gone mad, but it’s still surreal to see some of the truly ridiculous things that take place on a day-to-day basis.
We’ve all seen some firings that make no sense, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a more unwarranted dismissal than the one that took place Wednesday.
Podcaster Josh Neighbors was let go as host of the Locked on Big 12 podcast, apparently because he replayed Bob Huggins’s recent anti-LGBTQ slur, unedited, while he was condemning Huggins’s actions.
