If you’ve ever been late to work, this one’s for you. Golfer Phil Mickelson cut it a little too close for his tee time in yesterday’s BMW Championship. Although he didn’t oversleep like you might think. His hotel was struck by lightning and caught on fire, forcing guests to evacuate. He couldn’t get back up to his room to get his golf clubs or clothes. He was forced to head to the course sans clubs but the two were eventually reunited. COMING IN HOT

Former President Barak Obama’s game-worn high school basketball jersey sold at an auction for $120,000. The auction house called it possibly “the most important basketball jersey that exists” given Obama's later status. The buyer asked to remain anonymous. THINK IT WAS MICHELLE?

The race at Bristol was a roller coaster for NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) fans. First, there was Dale Earnhardt Jr’s plane scare and then the news that driver Matthew DiBenedetto was out of a job next year.
