data-mm-id=”_mn6jvv8hq”>Smylie Kaufman has a new podcast for SiriusXM and scored Justin Thomas as his first guest. After an hour of golf talk with the reigning PGA Championship winner, conversation veered in an unusual direction: a recounting of a weird night out during the Spring Break crew's most recent, more responsible ride.It all started with Thomas coming out of the restroom and recognizing Sidney Crosby and a few other of his beloved Pittsburgh Penguins on their postseason golf trip. One thing led to another and the two groups started doing the old mutual respect head nod thing only professional athletes can do across a restaurant.Crosby's group was nice enough to send a bottle of win over to the golfers who decided the best way to return serve would be to ask a waiter if he'd split a Caesar salad eight ways as a return. Then it was just boys being boys sending things back and forth for comedic effect like some sort of Always Sunny in Philadelphia trip to Guigino's.Full story at the 57-minute mark below:The Penguins contingent sent over warm water shots with salt on the rim and Thomas' crew fired the final salvo with two percent milk shooters. Just a classic example of dudes being dudes right there.Thomas revealed that he tried to pick up everyone's meals but was rebuffed."They sent it back saying 'no, we know you missed the cut at The Masters so you probably shouldn't pay for this.'"Then they all went back to Crosby's place, chose captains and picked teams for some high-intensity flip cup that saw Kaufman stare down a future Hall of Famer and win the head-to-head with a performance that would make all college freshmen proud. See this is the type of stuff Full Swing needs to be covering in season two.

Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will return from a hamstring injury soon as he is a quick healer .
Henderson limped off early in Liverpool s thrilling 3-3 draw at Arsenal and missed the 5-0 win against Swansea City on Boxing Day as a result.
The England midfielder will not be fit to face either Leicester City on Saturday or Burnley on January 1, but could return to first-team duty swiftly.
It depends on the healing process and if the player is a quick healer or not, Klopp told a news conference on Friday. There are big differences between individuals.

Julian Draxler has revealed he agreed terms with Juventus ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but the Serie A champions did not meet Schalke s valuation and he eventually joined Wolfsburg instead.
Juve had earmarked the Germany international to add more creativity to their midfield, but missed out after they failed to agree a fee.
Draxler, 22, has now admitted he was keen to join Juve, but is adamant he is now happy at Wolfsburg.
It was an honour for me that Juventus wanted me and tried so hard to sign me. I have always followed them closely, Draxler told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
I had agreed terms with Juventus, but both clubs could not agree a deal. In the end Wolfsburg wanted me to replace Kevin De Bruyne. But I would have been a Juventus player had n…
Ralph Hasenhuttl quickly turned his thoughts to next season after Southampton confirmed their Premier League status with two games remaining on Saturday.
While Southampton had to settle for a 3-3 draw at home with Bournemouth despite twice holding the lead, Cardiff City s 1-0 defeat at Fulham means the Saints are certain to be in the top flight for another campaign.
They were sitting in the relegation places and had managed just one league win when Hasenhuttl took charge at the end of last year, yet the Austrian has impressively engineered a route to safety in his time at St Mary s Stadium.
Now the former RB Leipzig boss is planning for a rebuild of his squad in the transfer window, with the aim to make sure the south-coast club are not in the same situatio…
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has hailed the progress of defender Jores Okore following a string of impressive performances.
The Denmark international moved to Villa Park from Nordsjaelland at the beginning of last season, but his career in the Premier League got off to a miserable start.
Okore sustained an injury to his cruciate ligament in September last year and missed the remainder of 2013-14.
The 22-year-old returned to the side in the 1-1 draw with Southampton last month, and has played every minute since then earning the praise of his manager.
Jores is getting better and better. He s only 22 years old, Lambert told Villa s official website.
He is outstanding. He has come in and his first game was against Southampton after 14 mon…
Leroy Sane was hailed by Julian Nagelsmann as one of the best players in Europe as the Bayern Munich head coach defended the winger on Friday.
It was reported Sane was slightly late for the start of training on the eve of this weekend s Bundesliga game against Augsburg, and that it could cost him a club fine.
There is a strong chance of Sane starting that match on Saturday, as head coach Julian Nagelsmann gives some a rest after the Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Germany winger Sane has started just 13 of Bayern s 23 domestic league games this season, with Nagelsmann having such an array of talent in attacking midfield roles he has to mix and match.
Similar applies to Serge Gnabry, who like Sane appeared as a substitute in the 2-0 victory …
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hit a stunning winner as Napoli beat Atalanta 2-0 to move 18 points clear again at the top of Serie A.
The 11th goal of the Georgian s debut Serie A season came in the 60th minute, with his twinkle-toed run into the penalty area followed by an explosive finish.
Fed the ball by Victor Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia still had plenty of work to do and left Atalanta captain Rafael Toloi bamboozled by his shimmying footwork, with the defenders collectively powerless to prevent a masterpiece.
Amir Rrahmani s looping header in the 77th minute made the points safe, as Eljif Elmas sent a corner from the right into the danger zone and the centre-back did the rest.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!
A fabulous goal and it s that man again! Kvara twists one way then an…
Jurgen Klopp has hailed La Liga as the best domestic competition in world football ahead of Liverpool s Europa League final against two-time defending champions Sevilla in Basle.

Barcelona and Spain star David Villa says the health struggles of Tito Vilanova and defender Eric Abidal have provided valuable life lessons.
Vilanova is battling parotid gland cancer, which has culminated in surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while the France defender was diagnosed with a tumour in his liver.
And Villa says his own battle to come back from a broken leg has been put into perspective by the pair s respective struggles with illness.
When you compare my injury to the diseases Tito and Abidal have had, their problems have been a lesson in life – two incredible people, Villa told El Pais.
