PGA takes over Tampa Bay, rapper eyes Grand Slam bid

    Boo Weekley had eight-under par round on Sunday to charge up 33 spots in the final round of the Tampa Bay Championship at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, but finished in the second spot.

    American Kevin Streelman was four shots under par on Sunday and minus 10 for the weekend to earn his first career PGA Tour win. Streelman didn’t bogey a hole on Saturday or Sunday and jumped to No. 6 in the FedEx Cup rankings.

    Last year’s winner, Luke Donald, finished tied for fourth at six shots under par.

Rapper Redfoo, real name Stefan Gordy, is using his time on hiatus from LMFAO to pursue a non-musical dream of his: playing professional tennis. Gordy has entered the USTA Northern California regional, part of the U.S. Open national playoffs.

Gordy hopes to earn a berth in the final Grand Slam tournament, held in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. in August. The sectional will run June 18 through 23 in Salinas, Calif.

Gordy, who played tennis as a junior, will participate in singles and mixed doubles with 17-year-old Ayaka Okuno, whom he currently coaches.

 

“The proposed rule change for running backs might be the most absurd suggestion of a rule change I’ve ever heard of. In order to lower ur shoulder u obviously have to lower ur head. It’s a way of protecting ur self from a tackler and a way to break tackles.”

– a tweet from Matt Forte, running back for the Chicago Bears, on a rule change proposed by the NFL on how runners may deliver a hit. The change would penalize 15 yards to a ball carrier who lowers his head to deliver a blow if he initiates contact with the crown of his helmet outside of the tackle box. Player safety and the recent controversy surrounding head injuries are cited as the major reason for this proposed change.
