Who knows what'll happen the rest of today and tomorrow, but I just happened to glance at the Masters leaderboard.

Rory McIlroy is 5 under through 5 at the moment, with the odds swung firmly in his favor.

Now fair befall you.

Last Sunday, April 6, rcade asked if "Luke Kornet is always this funny?". There's a definite answer to be found, but first it needs a bit of explanation.

After each Celtics game, on the NBC Sports Boston post-game broadcast, the "Tommy Award" winner is announced. This award is named after the late Tommy Heinsohn, a hall of fame coach and player, and a long time broadcast analyst for the Celtics. During games, Heinsohn would give out "Tommy Points" to players who made exceptional hustle plays. This eventually grew into the Tommy Award, given to the player who showed the outstanding hustle performance, over and above the norm, during the game. It has now become an informal annual award, and Luke Kornet wants it. Go to YouTube and search for "Luke Kornet Tommy Award ad". Kornet's whimsical nature is revealed.

There are a number of Luke Kornet clips on YouTube that reveal his carefree attitude. He's naturally funny.
