Lewis Hamilton Knows Tiger Named Enzo; It Weirdly Isn’t Ferrari F1 Fan
Share this: To car fans, Enzo is the name of a supercar, which was the fastest road-going Ferrari in its day.

Despite sharing his name with “Il Commendatore” himself, Enzo clearly isn’t a fan of the Scuderia.

NBA’s Steph Curry Calls Out President Obama For Golf Course Trash Talk

The Olympic swimming competition is done, a development that has landlubbing NFL fans celebrating. But even the most chlorine averse among us has to admit that what Michael Phelps accomplished in Rio was pretty cool. The best swimmer in history came away with five gold medals and a silver medal.
