The Philadelphia 76ers revoked the season ticket of the spectator who poured popcorn on Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook and indefinitely banned the fan from events at the Wells Fargo Center.

“We apologize to Russell Westbrook and the Washington Wizards for being subjected to this type of unacceptable and disrespectful behavior,” the 76ers said in a statement Thursday. “There is no place for it in our sport or arena.”

While Westbrook headed to the locker room during the fourth quarter of the Wizards’ 120-95 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday, someone dropped popcorn on him from the stands, and Westbrook had to be restrained.

Back in 2010, pizza guy Jeremy Sturdivant was asked to deliver two large pizzas in exchange for 10K bitcoins. At the time, they carried a total value of $41. That transaction is historically known as the first official Bitcoin transaction. As Bitcoin grew in value, Jeremy didn’t realize what it was going to be worth & spent the money. Had he decided to keep them as an investment, those 10K bitcoins would’ve eventually been worth $365-million.

Not only is he the oldest to win a major golf tournament but the numbers are in.

Oklahoma State Representative Justin Humphrey took the floor of the Oklahoma Senate Wednesday to announce an official bounty on Bigfoot.

Representative Humphrey says an unnamed man in the state has partnered with him to offer $3 million for anyone who can capture a live, unharmed Bigfoot. Don’t know what’s got better odds, winning Vax-a- million or capturing a live Bigfoot!
