This year, I’ve been finding myself being constantly disappointed by my teams: saying the Lakers were a disappointment is a drastic understatement and the Dodgers and their second-highest payroll in baseball can’t buy a win. If it wasn’t for the Kings, I’d already be in some mental institution.
By the way, I have been watching much more hockey, especially the Kings. I went to two Kings games this year, was incredibly intrigued by hockey, and I’m officially a Kings fan. Oh, and by the way, I have no problem being called a bandwagon Kings fan. I’m just starting to get familiar with hockey anyways.
Welcome to the first edition of “Not Taking Sports Seriously”, a time and place where we can all take sports less seriously and crack a smile after seeing some of the human elements that sports provides us. Or in other words, we look at some of the random, funny sh*t that happens in sports every once in a while and laugh about it.

Tim Duncan and the art of the photobomb
If you don’t know what a photobomb is, here’s the definition… Actually, before I tell you the definition, can you do me a quick favor and get out of that rock you’ve been under?
According to the site that’s been allowing middle-aged suburban parents to stay hip, UrbanDictionary.com defines “photobomb” as:
(verb)- to drop in a photo unexpectedly…to hop in a picture right before it is taken.
Tim Duncan’s always been known as a guy who did things the right way. He’s fundamentally sound, does things by the book, and never tries to get too fancy with what he does. Simply put, the guy gets the job done in the way that you’d expect it to be done.
However, in the first viral photobomb Tim Duncan photobombs a photo… without actually knowing he did so.

I think that’s probably the most outgoing thing I’ve ever seen Tim Duncan do.
Lee Westwood makes us all feel better about our golf games
If you’re a casual sports fan, you’ve probably never heard of Lee Westwood. I can’t lie: his name looks familiar, but he’s not a guy I’m making an effort to watch on the golf course. Here’s what I knew about Lee Westwood after I saw this video:
– Lee Westwood is a professional golfer.
– Lee Westwood is playing golf at The Players Championship (2013).
– He made me feel less embarrassed for ever doing this at the driving range:
Now it’s officially legal to yell, “IT’S OKAY… LEE WESTWOOD DID IT TOO.”
Will.I.Am and the NBA Playoffs:
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that commercial. I also can’t tell you how many times I’ve punched myself in the face after watching that.
I have nothing against Will.i.am or the NBA’s attempt to attract to “the younger crowd”… but what the f*ck is that?!?
There is however, one good thing that came out of this. In fact, it’s not even “good”, it’s borderline amazing, with a pinch of awesome
This is a gif of Joakim Noah in that commercial:

I know. I can watch this forever too.
