Bob Barker Apologizes to Happy Gilmore

        After falling to 45th place in the Pro Golf Tour, Bob Barker could not take it anymore with Happy Gilmore and began taking his frustrations with the golfer out on him in the middle of the tournament. After the initial altercation, this led to Gilmore falling to dead last place. Conflict between the two continued, leading to an all out physical fight between Happy Gilmore and his celebrity caddie, Bob Barker. Gilmore's favorite sport, of course was hockey and Barker insulted Gilmore stating "I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working at the snack bar. There is no way you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf." Next, Happy took the first shot at Barker by punching him in the face. What took Happy Gilmore by surprise was that Barker got right back up and ended up demolishing him in a full-on fist fight.   
     
        Eighteen years later, Bob Barker has announced that he was wrong in insulting the rookie golfer. "It was my fault. I instigated the fight by insulting him. It was only his first time in the Pro Golf Tour. I was just trying to get him going. My father used to do that to me when I would struggle in bowling. I was hoping it would work with Happy," Barker told us last Thursday evening. "I never meant for it to turn into a fight but once he took the first shot, my emotions really got the best of me."
     
        Gilmore, of course did end up coming back and winning the Pro Golf Tour that year (1996) but has not golfed since. Barker also told us that he is proud of Happy for winning that tournament and would like to congratulate him and hopes there are no hard feelings.

Jacksonville Jaguars Still Trying To Win

Jacksonville Jaguars Still Trying To Win Jacksonville, FL - After an 0-8 start, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still trying to win football games, according to sources. Some fans were questioning this after a 32 point loss on Sunday to the 49ers. "A positive note from the game is that we scored double digit points, so we'll definitely take that into next week," said RB Maurice Jones-Drew.

Next weekend the Jaguars take on the Tennessee Titans (3-4) and are going to do their best. "We're definitely going to try to do our best. We don't know how good that will be but like I said, we will try - I hope," said Titans head coach Mike Munchak.

The Titans discussed their best options to find their first win.

Option 1: Injure the best players on the opponents team. The Titans could use their worst bench players to injure the best players on the opposing team early in the first quarter. This would give them a slight advantage, however, who will be willing to be the sacrificial lamb?

Option 2: Switch teams with the Jacksonville University Dolphins. The Dolphins are 4-4 this season at their division 1 collegiate level. It is possible that the Dolphins (who have actually won this season) would be willing to throw their season to benefit the Jacksonville NFL team by swapping their entire team with the Jaguars. If the Dolphins did this, they would most likely lose their following 3 games to Marist, Mercer, and Stetson. The Jaguars have 8 games left on their schedule. If they did the swap, hopefully the new Jaguar team could match how they did at the collegiate level and earn at least 4 wins in their final 8 games.

Option 3: Change their mind and go for the number one draft pick. If the Jaguars change their mind about still trying to win a game, that might be their best bet. If they can successfully finish their season, a ghastly 0-16, they will most likely earn the first draft pick next season (unless the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are thinking the same thing).

On a positive note for Miami Dolphins fans, they are the best Florida NFL team. Congratulations.

Nokia Admits 41MP Camera Phone Has Too Many Megapixels

Espoo, Finland - The Nokia Lumia 1020 Smartphone was released in July 2013 with a 41 megapixel camera. The second largest mainstream smartphone available in the U.S. is equipped with a standard 13mp camera, which is quite large for a cell phone as it is.

Three months after its release, Nokia finally admits that they used too many megapixels. "Yes, we went a little overboard. Forty-one is probably too many megapixels. Not really sure what we were thinking," said Nokia's CEO, Risto Siilasmaa. "A bunch of us got together actually after work one night and we had a few drinks."

Nokia hopes people will find this feature fascinating and lead them toward their purchase of their next smartphone. "If not, we understand," said Siilasmaa.

Sharks Play Water Polo With Beach Goers

Falmouth, MA  -  A shark siting last weekend surprised just about everyone at a local beach on a beautiful September Sunday afternoon in the Cape. The first to site the shark was U.S. Olympic water polo champion, Jane Stevens from West Falmouth.

"I had never seen a shark before. I had just got in the water and I saw the fin. I wasn't deep in the water but I bolted out and shouted to everyone around," Stevens reported. "This is the last weekend the lifeguards are there so I let them know what what I saw"

What happened next shocked everyone at the beach even more than just spotting a shark. We had a few words with the lifeguard about what happened next. "Jane [Stevens] told me about the shark. I spotted him [the shark] and I saw the strangest thing. It looked like the shark was holding some kind of ball as it was swimming toward the shore," head lifeguard Bill Kalfman said.

There were a total of seven sharks swimming toward the shore; one carrying a ball and two carrying goals. Within seconds after all beach goers were out of the water, the sharks had set up a water polo game and they wanted to challenge Jane Stevens and several other beach goers to a friendly match.

"It was so much fun! The competition was't quite like the Olympics but those sharks have a lot of potential," said Stevens.

The humans played seven games total against the sharks, defeating the sharks in four of the seven games. Three more games were played  in which the sharks and humans split up the teams and played together.

The sharks were slightly disappointed they waited til September to challenge the humans to water polo. "We wanted to play all summer but we were too shy to ask [the humans to play] any earlier in the summer. We know they stop coming to the beach soon but we hope they'll play with us more next summer," said Jerry, one of the sharks.
