Mike Francesa said Jeremy Shockey, who caught a go-ahead touchdown in a Super Bowl, never came close to a Super Bowl ring

Sean Zanni(Photo by Sean Zanni/Getty Images for DraftKings)There is retiring on the job, and then there is Mike Francesa, who is spending retirement on the job. Francesa and facts were never simpatico even in his heyday, but the New York radio host has gone from skirting the truth to giving it a coldblooded middle finger in his return to radio.
Evidenced this week when Francesa, in a rant against Odell Beckham Jr., tried to condemn the mercurial wideout by comparing him to the four-time Pro Bowler Shockey.
“(OBJ) long ago turned into a Shockey. And Shockey got away with it because it was early in his career, early in Eli’s (Manning’s) career, he couldn’t put the hammer down. But what happened is Shockey left, and they won two Super Bowls. Shockey never saw anything close to a Super Bowl.”
This low blow failed to carry much weight considering, you know, Shockey won two Super Bowl rings.
To be fair, Shockey was on the sidelines for the Giants' 2007 championship run with injury. Howe..

This incredible Anthony Davis photo perfectly sums up his freakish wingspan

Anthony Davis is an absolute terror on the basketball court, and NBA fans have long known that even with The Brow semi-buried in New Orleans — at least, until he takes his talents to L.A. to join forces with LeBron. The 25-year-old superstar possesses point guard skills within a center's body (thanks in large part to a crazy growth spurt during high school), but his dominance, particularly on the defensive end, comes down to one word. (HINT: It's Jay Bilas' favorite word.) That's right, LENGTH.

The 6-foot-10 Davis has a freakish 7-foot-6(!) wingspan, which has led to him leading the league in blocked shots three times already in his young career. And this year, he's also averaging a career-high 1.6 steals to go with 2.7 blocks. Again, he's a terror, and on Wednesday night, a photo showing just how much of a hulking beast he is went viral.

Former Ryder Cupper holes fantastic flop shot — in his backyard

It's been a relatively quiet couple of years for Andy Sullivan since a three-win season in 2015 earned him a spot on the 2016 European Ryder Cup team. But the English golfer caused a bit of a commotion on Wednesday when he holed a pretty nifty flop shot. In his backyard.

Watch as Sullivan clips one perfectly that flies over a giant trampoline (interesting placement) and onto his putting green before eventually winding up in the cup:

The “LEGEND” part is debatable, but that's a handy shot to have up his sleeve if he ever challenges someone to a game of golf H-O-R-S-E on his home course. And the European Tour already (sort of) bestowed an award on him for his effort:

Sullivan is off to a nice start to the new European Tour season — and he hasn't even played a tournament yet.

Man pleads guilty to dumb baby gender reveal that caused massive wildfire, $8 million in damages

We've heard some wild explanations for how wildfires start and spread — just ask our President — but this is one we never saw coming: a baby gender reveal.
An Arizona man has plead guilty to accidentally starting a wildfire by firing a gun at a collection of explosives in 2017. The explosives created a large cloud of blue smoke (Yay, it's a boy!), but the flames wound up burning more than 45,000 acres and causing $8 million in damages. Check out this wild report from CBS News:

And as many people were quick to point out, that poor kid is probably on his own now when it comes to paying for college.
This was bound to happen, folks. These baby gender reveals started with harmlessly popping balloons, but they're getting out of control. The Atlanta Falcons recently gave a Gatorade bath to a teammate, another one in Florida incorporated an alligator (Fun!), and now this? We're blowing up stuff and causing infern..

Watch NYC’s Tiger Hood follow Tiger Woods by making a “hole-in-one” of his own

Tiger Woods told reporters on Tuesday about recently making his first hole-in-one in 20 years, and that very day, New York City's “Tiger Hood” made an ace of his own. What a sign from the golf gods! Or, much more likely, a completely random coincidence. In any event, we're happy for both golfers.
Tiger Hood, whose real name is Patrick Q. F. Barr, gained notoriety a couple years ago when ESPN made a short “30 for 30” documentary on him. Barr, a photographer, has been playing street golf in the Big Apple since 2009 after finding a golf club in his garage. He makes golf balls out of milk cartons he finds in the trash, washing them in his bathtub.
“This is stuff from the garbage, but yet, it can go some place,” Barr eloquently said in the short film. “It can do something for someone.”
It certainly did something for New York filmmaker Nicholas Heller, who went nuts after catching Barr's perfect shot on camera. Check it out:
