NFL (NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE)

Let there be beer. Bud Light sympathized with the fans of the Cleveland Browns and their 635-day losing streak. At the beginning of the season, they placed fridges filled with beer throughout the city that would open when the Browns finally won a game. Last night, that dream became a reality when the Browns beat the New York Jets. Not sure who was more excited, the fans, the rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield or the Cleveland Police Department. NOT SORRY FOR CALLING IN SICK TODAY

OVERTIME

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is full of hysterical sass, and now her words are catching up with her. After a recent tweet claiming she could “absolutely be a hockey goalie,” the Los Angeles Kings (NHL- National Hockey League) invited her to try out to become their emergency backup goalie. And it sounds like she’s taking them up on their offer. SWAPPING STILETTOS FOR SKATES

It’s been 22 years since Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny graced the big screen in Space Jam. If you’re a fan of the flick, then you’re in luck because a reboot is coming. It will star LeBron James and be directed by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. They will start filming next summer. Guess King James’ move to Hollywood paid off? GRAB THE POPCORN

Five Things You Need To Know About the Masters

1. The Masters security team has a list of banned sayings and if any spectator shouts one of them, they’ll be removed immediately from the course. One of the banned phrases? Dilly Dilly. Bud Light had a stellar response to the ban of their fan favorite phrase.

2. Despite the prestige of the course, the food is cheap with everything under $3 and beer for $5. We’ll drink to that. The most famous item on the menu? The pimento cheese sandwich. In case you want to make one at home while watching the tourney, here’s the recipe.

3. The Tiger Woods factor is strong in this year’s tournament. The four-time winner is back and according to Vegas oddsmakers, is the favorite to win (although many in the golf world disagree with this). Since his return this season, TV ratings have been up and there’s an additional buzz around the sport. He may have an uphill challenge to win, but he’s certainly bringing additional fanfare to the game.

4. Whether you’re a journalist or a patron, there is a strict no cell phone policy at Augusta National, the home of the Masters. Don’t even try it as getting caught will land you a lifetime ban from the tournament. 

5. The famed green jacket became a tradition in 1949.  Members of the club decided on green so fans in attendance at the tournament could spot them in case they had questions. Last year’s winner, Sergio Garcia, took advantage of owning the esteemed jacket, wearing it to his wedding, Wimbledon and the New York Stock Exchange. (He also named his newborn daughter Azalea after the famed flowers at Augusta).
