That's not his house. He says right in the video that he is at the Double Eagle Golf Club.

All the shorts and hoodies in the world couldn't help him get rid of that pompous head shaking mannerism when he talks.

It was cool to see the commissioner participate though. Have any other pro sports commissioners participated yet?

Man couple this video with Betman's WWE worthy jeering at the entry draft this year and it's becoming a little harder to hate the guy. Seems he's turned the corner a bit and is willing to crack a smile once in a while.

In all fairness Bettman could probably sit in that bucket McGratton is using.

Lots electronic music artists are in on this too.

The Chainsmokers did it, they challanged the Canadian duo Adventure Club, and Tiesto. Emphasized that they need to donate too and not just throw ice over their head.

The fact that this is taking off with people who have money to burn probably helps a lot.

I like that O'Toole had to go on a ladder to dump it on Onrait.
