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, 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.
