Man vs. turkey is the best duel we’ve seen on a golf course in some time
Many of the country's golf courses opened over the weekend, a decision with which not everyone is happy. But it was an animal and not a person who put up the biggest fight. Literally.

In what is the best golf course duel we've seen since Tyrell Hatton held off Marc Leishman to win at Bay Hill two years months ago before the coronavirus pandemic put a pause in the PGA Tour season, we present man vs. turkey (WARNING: There's a little NSFW language, but fortunately, there is no harming of a turkey):

Look, we get the guy's frustration. You're finally out playing again, it's a nice day, and a freaking turkey won't leave you alone. But maybe just move out of the way? Also, that thing is huge. He's lucky it didn't snap his driver in two.
We compile a list of Turkeys of the Year every Thanksgiving so this one will definitely make it. The guy, that is.

Shane Lowry’s short game is juuuuust a tad bit rusty
Shane Lowry will have to wait until 2021 for the opportunity to defend his British Open title due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. And from the looks of it, he might need all that time to get his short game back on track.

The man who claimed the claret jug by six shots at Royal Portrush last year hit the links for the first time in six weeks on Friday and shared a video of him attempting a pitch shot. Let's just say, it did not go well. Here's Lowry looking like your average weekend hack rather than “the champion golfer of the year.”

Oof. Even the best players aren't immune to a bit of rust during this long layoff.
At least Lowry only did damage to the turf and not his house like 2018 European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn, who managed to break a glass door while taping a chipping drill the other day. That didn't keep Bjo..
Michael Jordan reportedly turned down $100 million for two hours of work, is officially the GOAT
Streeter LeckaWhether Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time is (possibly) up for debate. With a net worth more than $2 BILLION, though, his Airness and Sneaker King, is clearly the wealthiest athlete of all time. Which explains why MJ once turned down $100 million for a two-hour appearance fee.

OK, so it only sort of explains it. We don't care how rich you are, $100 million for essentially two hours of work is pretty tough to pass up. But according to Jordan's longtime agent, David Falk, that's exactly what he did once.
Appearing on WFAN's “Boomer and Gio” program on Thursday to discuss ESPN's hit docuseries “The Last Dance,” Falk revealed the time Jordan turned down more than he made from contracts during his 16 seasons in the NBA.

Vince McMahon’s daily meal is one of the more absurd food creations you’ll ever hear
I'm no WWE expert, far from it, but I am an expert in reading the absolute ridiculous stories the internet has to offer about Vince McMahon. The term “nut job” was created solely with McMahon in mind, and I say that as a compliment. Apparently you're not allowed to sneeze around him. Apparently he used to have steroids delivered directly to his office, for himself and for Hulk Hogan. And apparently, he wrestles people on planes quite often, Ernie Els style. The list of tales, which are all likely exaggerated but still somewhat true, goes on and on.

The latest and greatest McMahon story comes from comedian and host of “the No-Sports Report” podcast Jensen Karp, who wrote for WWE Raw for seven months in 2006.
