Many of you might have switched over to the NBA finals by the time this happened. If that is the case -- or even if you saw it already -- please check out this "Bird-man" cutting in front of Bob Costas and his interview with U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson. Classic quip from Simpson: "Enjoy the jail cell, pal."

It's not quite "Clown question, bro," but it's close.
