Everybody and their mother is crashing Zoom meetings these days, to the point where it's become a bit played out. Once you start to fail to recognize the so-called “celeb”'s name who is crashing the meeting or virtual lecture or virtual happy hour, that's when you know that joke has run its course. However, exceptions can be made. Exceptions like Will Ferrell crashing the Seattle Seahawks virtual team meeting.
But this wasn't your normal pop-in, Q&A session with a celebrity. This was Ferrell impersonating new Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen as only Ferrell can: by being himself.

For a comedian who has done some of the greatest impersonations of other famous people ever, some of his best impressions are when he is just being himself but says he's being someone else. Like the time he accepted the 2008 Best Male Athlete ESPY for Tiger Woods:
I for one would love to live in a world where one of Tiger's spon..

Did you know: The two things Phil Mickelson surprisingly hasn’t accomplished (besides win a U.S. Open)
Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesThe coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
Phil Mickelson is unquestionably one of the greatest golfers of all time due to an impressive and eclectic résumé. Sure, there are the 44 PGA Tour titles and five major championships, but he’s also the only golfer to spend more than a quarter century consecutively inside the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, and we’re pretty sure he’s the only golfer to win a $9 million match when he won “The Match” against Tiger Woods in 2018. We’re only pretty sure about the latter because who knows how much Bill Gates or Warren Buffett have played for. Or Michael Jordan for that matter.

Whatever you do, DON’T look at Shaq’s quarantine feet
E! EntertainmentIt's been a banner week for gross-out stuff in the sports. First, we brought you images of Alex Smith's leg following his grisly compound/spiral fracture and subsequent infection. We thought there was no better diet on the internet than looking at that before hopping on Grubhub for the fifth time in five days, but we were wrong. We were very, very wrong. Poor, beleaguered souls, look upon Shaq's feet and weep.

We want to take this moment to apologize to all of you, but this was a burden we simply couldn't bear alone. Is this real or some elaborate hoax born out of boredom? Do these feet belong to an actual human? Did Sasquatch just throw up in his mouth a little bit? We have many questions but very few answers. We have stared into the void stared back. We are utterly, entirely alone.

Real, fake or somewhere in between, this is the greatest baseball story ever told
BettmannThe year is 1893. The first college basketball game is played, a marquee matchup between the Geneva College Covenanters and the New Brighton YMCA. “America the Beautiful” has just been written. It's a different time and a different world, but in Pottsville, New York, they're still playing baseball. Atlantic League pitcher Mike Kilroy has just stepped to the plate in the 11th inning with the game tied at two. He takes a cut and breaks his bat. The only problem? They're fresh out of those. So Kilroy walks over to a nearby woodpile used to feed the stadium furnace, and picks up an axe instead. He steps back into the box and waits. So begins the greatest baseball story ever (never?) told:

Thomas Bjorn breaks glass door, proves that no one should hit golf balls indoors
Rory McIlroy shared earlier in the week videos of his first swings since the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic put a pause in the golf season. Not surprisingly, he is still really good at golf. Also not surprisingly, not everyone is Rory McIlroy.
Enter Thomas Bjorn. Even at 49, the man who captained Europe to a win at the 2018 Ryder Cup is clearly no slouch as evidenced by his 15 career Euro Tour titles. But apparently he was a bit rustier than Rory when he went to film a chipping tip. A chipping tip that for some reason was filmed inside his house.
