Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are no longer starring in new episodes of “Arrested Development” but that’s not going to stop the pair from referencing the cult classic. The duo star in a new commercial for the US Open golf tournament, which takes place next month at Los Angeles Country Club.

As Wisconsin’s head coach, Chryst won the Big Ten West three times and was a two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year award winner.
The 1992 Olympic Dream Team is revered for getting the NBA’s biggest stars reinvested in the Games and restoring the U.S. men’s basketball team to gold-medal status after settling for bronze four years earlier. So it’s no surprise that when Hall of Famer Karl Malone decided to auction off memorabilia from his time on the team, the items fetched an enormous price.
Malone sold numerous Dream Team items at auction earlier last week, with the total haul coming in at over $5 million.
Memorial Day weekend means a homecoming for the NASCAR Cup Series and the longest mileage race on the calendar. The series shifts to Charlotte Motor Speedway in the suburbs of Queen City, where every team’s headquarters is located, for the Coca-Cola 600.
Every once in a while, a team loses a game in viral fashion.
But that term only begins to describe what Heat fans went through in their team’s final moments on Saturday night against the Celtics.
Miami fans across the internet posted their reactions to what they thought would be their team’s game-winning stop at the conclusion of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, but instead they posted hilarious videos of them painfully realizing the Heat had just lost at the hands of Derrick White off a historic buzzer beater.
According to a report last week, Jimmy Garoppolo’s deal with the Las Vegas Raiders was held up because of a failed physical. Garoppolo ultimately needed surgery, putting the deal on a one-day hold.
A new report Sunday shows exactly what happened during that one-day delay. The Raiders added an addendum to Garoppolo’s contract that allows them to cut him — with no financial penalties — if he doesn’t pass a physical prior to the season.
Former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell made a name for himself for his play on the field but also gained some infamy during his playing days for his marijuana use. The former star tailback was suspended several times during his career as a result of his habit and apparently was high during some of his better games.
“I feel like I got a misconception about me with the whole weed thing,” Bell said on the Steel Here podcast. “I was wrong just cuz I shouldn’t have smoked in the car, regardless. But looking back at this, that’s what I did.
