David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap once uttered a phrase that I live my life by: “It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.”
Now, thanks to a goalie in the Swedish Hockey League, I believe the line between being on a highlight reel and being on a blooper reel is even more fine.

Mercury Morris is on the phone, at once watching the coverage of O.J. Simpson’s death following a bout with cancer, and recounting tales about his friend and rival’s life and times.

But on the other hand, there was that time he was acquitted —but found liable in a civil trial — for the double murder of his wife and her friend, and then the other time he was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping.

Sometimes life has different plans for you, which is certainly the case for Baylor head coach Scott Drew, who turned down the Kentucky job Thursday morning. 
The opening was initiated by John Calipari leaving for Arkansas, but for Scott Drew, this wasn’t the right time to leave Baylor in hopes of recreating the magic in Lexington.

Nicklaus offered insight into why he believes Rory McIlroy still hasn’t completed the grand slam at The Masters.
Jack Nicklaus knows what it takes to win a major championship — he has won 18 of them. If anyone could understand why Rory McIlroy hasn’t completed the career grand slam, it’s the Golden Bear.
During the opening round of the 88th Masters Tournament, Nicklaus joined Live from The Masters on the Golf Channel. He stated why he believes McIlroy hasn’t overcome his demons at Augusta National.
