Who does this stuff? We mean, really.
Apparently rich people.
No, this is not an attack on the rich for what they do or don’t pay in taxes. As sports fans, we couldn’t care less about the tax rates of professional athletes.
However, we do want to Occupy Carmelo’s Apartment until Carmelo Anthony takes down that hideous piece of art in his living room — a huge painting of himself.
He is married. With a child.
But according to the New York Post, the living room wall of their Midtown apartment is covered with a huge painting of just Carmelo. Not him and his family. Just him.
Does he show off the painting to guests? You know, because his guests might not know that he’s important and famous and stuff unless they see it.
Guess it’s not enough for Carmelo to have fans buy his jerseys, scream his name all night, cheer him, coddle him.
When he gets home, he needs to remind himself just how awesome he is.
Pathetic.

Four people were arrested in Pennsylvania for stealing golf balls. Not balls in a store or a pro shop. But golf balls that had found their way into water hazards.
Apparently, the group would go to golf courses early in the morning and, using sophisticated diving gear, dive to the bottom to retrieve the balls.
The goal was then to resell the balls.
Surprisingly, the people arrested were in their 20s and 30s.
Most 20-to-40-year-olds who Talking Points plays golf with just leave their golf balls in the water after a bad shot.
It’s the 60-to-80-year-olds who get out their ball-retrieval sticks, then delay their rounds — and those behind them — for 30 minutes at a time to try to find that $2 Top-Flite.
