Toss The Burner: Jan. 21, 2009

I am legitimately worried about this guy’s career peaking too early.

Japanese phenom Ryo Ishikawa became the youngest golfer to win on any tour at the age 15, and at age 17 has already risen up the ranks to #60 in the World. Not to mention he finished 5th overall in the money last year.

He’s a phenom festival, plus he looks like he’s going to unleash a tornado whirlwind kick after he’s done reading this green

I’m sure he could have just called somebody if he wanted to get exempt for stateside PGA event this year, but before he had the chance to do that Arnold Palmer played his consummate golf legend card and took matters into his own hand.

According to PGAtour.com, Palmer sent Ishikawa a personalized letter asking him participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill (March 23-26). Ishikawa, known also as ‘the shy prince’, graciously accepted and will be one of two exempt players who will get to compete against a top-ranked field next March that could include Tiger Woods, who could potentially return to tour action by then.

Easily the best performance in recent times by an athlete with a truly unfortunate name. University of Kentucky guard, Jodie Meeks, dropped 54 points last night, going 10-15 from behind the arc, to lead the Wildcats to a 90-72 victory over Tennessee.

Jodie as in Jodie, the name for females. Meeks as in meek – or docile, submissive, milquetoast. Or Meeks, as in Steven “me and Meeksy are working on a hi-fi system” Meeks from Dead Poets Society.

Frankly, the name Sheryl Miller sounds tougher to me, but there’s no denying that this guy got it done. Check out the highlights:

Stud FSU Safety/ would-be NFL Draft selection/ Rhodes Scholar for da dolla! Myron Rolle announced today that he’ll pursue Med School at Oxford instead of going pro.

Astute move, Rolle. I keep telling myself that I too decided to delay when I’d be receiving my truckloads of cash in life.

Now check out the video for the Myron Rolle action figure.

In an attempt to shed their obscurity ’round campus, the UCLA Women’s Rugby team hosts an annual prom dress rugby match, with their third ever happening this past weekend…

Not to be confused with the thrift store three-piece suit match…hosted each year by the UCLA water polo team. Or the bikini car wash that the UCLA cheerleaders are perpetually running in my wildest dreams.

Hip-Hop’s leading paper chaser turned ESPN.com blogger, Lil Wayne, is now podcasting too. You can check it out here: “Tim Tebow has a chip on his shoulder the size of a funyon,” brace yourself for 5+ minutes of shout outs towards the end.

During the first of the two fresh podcasts put up yesterday, Weezy had a message for favorite Major Leaguer, Manny Ramirez (i’m his number one fan, and his number two fan), saying if Manny goes to his hated Yankees he’s going to dedicate the best song on Tha Carter IV to reprimanding Manny (quote, if he goes blue, I’m off the mane train, mang).
