Matthew Stafford and Bryson DeChambeau are teaming up in an attempt to shoot a ridiculously low golf score
Matthew Stafford and Bryson DeChambeau are teaming up in an attempt to shoot a ridiculously low golf score DeChambeau announced the news by trying to catch a pass from Stafford
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.

US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont
The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open has come to a halt. A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to "dangerous weather." Advertisement Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped. The United States Golf Association announced play is scheduled to resume at 5:40 p.m. ET, which would put the delay just over 90 minutes. It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night. Advertisement However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day. Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott is in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.

Giants Draft Pick's Body Transformation Could Be Key to Breakout
Giants Draft Pick's Body Transformation Could Be Key to Breakout originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Giants took wide receiver Jalin Hyatt with the No. 73 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The former third-round selection has struggled to earn consistent playing time, and has logged just 435 yards in his career, without a touchdown. Advertisement Meanwhile … The Giants' offense should have a bit of a different look this season. While Brian Daboll is still at the helm as the head coach, the Giants added three new quarterbacks this offseason, led by Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson. The quarterback room isn't the only thing that looks different for the Giants this year, as Hyatt himself does. Hyatt has generated some buzz among fans and analysts over a remodeled body. Hyatt is up between 15 and 20 points from his previous listed weight of 185 pounds. Fellow Giants wideout Darius Slayton said Wyatt "swelled up." AZ Sports' Kyle Crabbs is hopeful that the added weight can lead to the long-awaited breakout of Hyatt, who hasn't lived up to the potential he showed at the University of Tennessee. Advertisement "The hope for New York here should be that a more filled-out and powerful frame can help Hyatt win through contact more consistently." Crabbs wrote. "Further complicating matters was a slender frame that lacked great length — Hyatt measured in at 176 pounds at the NFL Combine in 2023, which is fifth-percentile for NFL wide receivers since 2000. 'He's been on the roster at approximately 185 pounds, meaning Hyatt is potentially pushing 200 pounds this summer." The idea of Hyatt is that he can be a deep ball threat. So … If the added weight doesn't limit the burst and speed that had the Giants' war room salivating, he could be in for a good campaign, especially with Wilson's mindset of looking down the field for a deep ball before settling for a check down. Hyatt not being the No. 1 option is also good news for him, according to Crabbs. Advertisement "The best news of all for New York is that Hyatt is a complementary talent amid the presence of Slayton and second-year star Malik Nabers in the wide receiver room." Crabbs wrote. "He isn't likely to be a high-volume passing target, which is just fine. But if he can find his footing well enough to be a solid downfield counterpunch when teams cheat their coverage to Nabers, Hyatt make finally take those first steps to living up to his draft pedigree."

US Open a race against daylight on rain-soaked Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. -- The U.S. Open turned into a sprint through the soggy fairways of Oakmont on Sunday following a downpour that caused a delay of 1 hour, 37 minutes as Sam Burns tried to hold off Adam Scott for his first major. Heavy rain began to leave large puddles on the lightning-fast greens of Oakmont that caused a stoppage in the final round. Burns was at 2-under par — 2 over for the day — through seven holes, one shot ahead of Scott. They were the only players under par. J.J. Spaun, who started the final round one shot back, bogeyed five of the opening six holes to fall four behind. Jon Rahm was the leader in the clubhouse after a 67 to finish at 4-over 284.
