SALT LAKE CITY — It's the week of the Masters Golf Tournament and many are watching closely to see if Tiger Woods can return to the forefront of golfing. Will it be Woods winning it all this year or will there be someone else?
We'll soon find out, but in the meantime, there have been some pretty good antics leading up to the tournament. On Wednesday, Rickie Fowler decided to impress the gallery with some of his skills.
Fowler, standing before a water hazard at the par-3 16th hole at Augusta National, skipped a ball across the water and onto the green. While it's not expected that Fowler will attempt a similar shot in the tournament, it's nevertheless an amazing shot that stops about 10 feet away from the hole.
Jay-Z is moving on
Jay-Z, the iconic rapper and business guru, is rumored to be selling his shares of the Brooklyn Nets in order to further a new business venture.
After deciding to start his own sports agency, Jay-Z is required to sell his shares in the Nets. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that Jay-Z has already started unloading his shares and plans to have the process done by the end of June.
Jay-Z's new business, Roc Nation Sports, has already signed New York Yankees star Robinson Cano. Once his shares of the Nets are sold, Jay-Z will be free to sign many NBA athletes. And considering his influence already in the league, he'll have no problems signing some big names.
Metta World Peace and his antics
After undergoing surgery on a torn meniscus, Metta World Peace returned to play for the Los Angeles Lakers in relatively quick fashion. But his postgame interview is all people can talk about.
A reporter asked World Peace how he was able to return to the game so fast, and what follows is best described as bizarre.
"Well, you know, I'm just too sexy for my cat," he responds. "I'm too sexy for my cat. My cat. I'm just too sexy for my cat. If I wasn't as sexy for my cat, I probably wouldn't have come back. I'm so sexy, I came back. Too sexy for my cat, too sexy to wear a sleeve or a bracelet, so I came back."
Don't worry, he continues:
"I felt sexy, I felt like my team was working , I felt like we wanted it," he added. "We just wanted to come together collectively. Play hard, do it together. I'm definitely too sexy for my cat, definitely, we know that. I'm also too tough to let a meniscus surgery keep me out for six weeks. I'm too sexy for my cat."
Yup, that's what was said. Maybe he lost a bet and had to use the word "cat" in every sentence. With World Peace, you never really know.
