Paula Creamer’s $6.3 million mansion seems as good of a place as any to hunker down
Realtor.comThe bad news for Paula Creamer? She picked a poor time to put her house on the market. The good news? She's got a pretty sick pad to hunker down during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

According to Realtor.com, the LPGA star's Windemere, Fla., mansion can be yours for $6.35 million. But before you get sticker shock, you might want to check out this place.
First, the details. The house is a cozy 11,100 square feet and features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. So you can shower in a different place every day of the week while you're holed up and almost sleep in a different bedroom every night. You know, to mix it up.
But there's much more to like than that. Like a living room with two-story windows so you can still get plenty of sunlight during extended time indoors (All photos from Realtor.com):

How are tour pros quarantining? By juggling toilet paper and burning grass (among other things)
We have officially reached day four of no golf, or any sport, for that matter. Now that people are finally getting serious about the coronavirus, many are stuck inside as they plan to wait it out. This includes a few tour pros, who are already getting creative with how they spend their off time.
We're not sure who started the #StayAtHomeChallenge, but it seems that Denmark's Joost Luiten was the first to bring it into the golf world. The challenge apparently includes juggling toilet paper and then attempting to hit it like Tiger Woods did in that famous commercial years ago:

Full swings inside are always dangerous, even for the best players in the world. That has not stopped other players like Austria's Matthias Schwab, who wasted a whole roll by hitting out the window:

Schwab's fellow countryman Bernd Wiesberger got in the mix as well:

Deron Williams breaking quarantine to pull Dirk Nowitzki’s van out of the mud is the best (and only?) sports story of the weekend
How was the first weekend of your newly sports-less world? Cruel, dark, depressing, or, worst of all, boring? Well, take some degree of heart, because thanks to Dirk Nowitzki, it wasn't all curling highlights and five-year-old Pitino takes, with the former Mavs legend getting his minivan so hopelessly stuck that he had to call Deron Williams to come tow him out. And before you ask, no this doesn't exactly count as “social distancing,” but neither did those bottomless mimosas on Sunday, did they?

Global pandemic or no global pandemic, if you own a pickup truck, you are duty bound to help friends whenever they are stuck. This is the social contract you sign when get behind the wheel of a gas-guzzling Mopar monster, and it is binding. Thankfully for Dirk, Deron honored this gentleman's agreement, showing up to pull Dirk's rockin' van out of a snotty little patch of Texas cement.

Desperate for new sports, I watched 32 minutes of bass fishing. Here’s my diary
Chris CondonI probably don't need to explain much here, right? I needed some sports on Sunday afternoon, needed it bad, and all I found in the channel guide were various replays. The day may come when I'm ready to watch a 2016 Big 12 Championship quarterfinal on ESPNU, or a replay of some old German soccer match on FS2, but that day is not today. I needed something new, something novel, something I had never seen before and that I could enjoy on its own merits without the depressing reality that I was just reliving the glory days of my usual sports. I needed something new, something novel, something invigorating. Something to defy the sense that I was turning into the sports fan equivalent of Miss Havisham.
I needed bass fishing.
Or at least that's what I thought I needed, when I saw it airing on CBS Sports Network Sunday afternoon. At the very least, it would be something I've never watched before…or done before, for that matter. I also decided not to look up any..
