Matthew Stafford and Bryson DeChambeau are teaming up in an attempt to shoot a ridiculously low golf score
Matthew Stafford doesn't have time for much besides football from July to February, but during the offseason, he's taken a liking to golf. Though he's probably never played in front of a huge audience, that'll change this week.
Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, announced on Tuesday that Stafford is the next guest on his 'Break 50' series where he teams up with a celebrity in an attempt to, well, break 50.
They'll play a scramble from the forward tees and try to shoot a ridiculously slow score together, though DeChambeau didn't announce which course they'll be playing.
The video he posted is pretty funny, though. He tried to catch a pass from Stafford, only to have the fastball clank off his chest with a loud 'thud.'
DeChambeau has 1.79 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, which is where the video will be posted on Wednesday, so plenty of people are going to see Stafford play. It won't be the same pressure as playing on Sundays in the NFL, but Stafford will probably have to shake off some nerves.
According to the GHIN database, Stafford's handicap is 4.9, which is pretty good – that is, assuming it's the same Matthew Stafford who belongs to Bel-Air Country Club. His most recent scores range from 75 to 90.
DeChambeau has had the likes of Donald Trump, Tom Brady, Tony Romo, John Daly and Phil Mickelson on the series, with Stafford being the latest.

Jannik Sinner rehires the fitness coach he fired for playing a role in his doping case
ROME (AP) — Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner has rehired Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach nearly a year after firing him for his role in the top-ranked player's doping case. The move comes after Sinner recently removed fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio from his team. "Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level,' a statement from Sinner's team said Wednesday. Last year, Sinner tested positive twice for a trace amount of an anabolic steroid in March; the case wasn't made public until August, shortly before the U.S. Open, which he ended up winning for the second of his four Grand Slam titles. He initially was completely cleared, based on the defense that he accidentally was exposed to the banned substance, Clostebol, via a massage from his then-physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi. Sinner said his fitness trainer at the time, Ferrara, purchased a product in Italy and gave it to Naldi for a cut on Naldi's finger. Naldi then treated Sinner while not wearing gloves. Sinner then fired Naldi and Ferrara, and Ferrara was hired briefly by Matteo Berrettini, another Italian player. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the exoneration, and Sinner agreed to serve a three-month ban that ended right before the Italian Open in May of this year. ___

What irks Boston Celtics fans more, Marcus Smart to the Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors?
What are Boston Celtics fans more irked by, Marcus Smart to the Los Angeles Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors? The Celtics have been linked to the former Los Angeles Clippers big man despite his well-publicized travails during his stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Clippers in the same week that Smart, former Boston floor general, signed a deal with the Lakers after being bought out by the Washington Wizards. Needless to say, neither of these offseason news items went over well with a large portion of the Boston faithful, with some riled up by the possibility of seeing a beloved former player suiting up in gold and purple, and others cringing at the notion of Simmons playing for the Celtics. The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at what is behind the visceral responses to both. Check it out below!
