Charley Hull won the CME Tour Championship on Sunday. While Ariya Jutanugarn nabbed the Rolex Player of the Year honor, and a nice $1 million bonus for winning the Race to the CME Globe on the final day of the 2016 LPGA season.And while both Hull and Jutanugarn are likely reveling in their accomplishments, every LPGA player is probably feeling like a winner on the first day of their (all too brief) offseason.So ... just what are some of the players doing?Im glad you asked.Christina Kim did what many of us would do with some free time -- watched an animal video online. Obviously.My offseason is off and running! I just spent ten minutes watching a video of a cat on catnip.- Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim) November 21, 2016Brooke Pancake took advantage of her black card at the Waffle House -- the restaurant chain that she and her perfectly ironic name endorse.Its official yall!

Youve earned it.See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn.Jodie Meeks Raptors Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. Serge Ibaka Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. http://www.nbaraptorsonline.com/Authentic-Kyle-Lowry-Jersey/ . LUCIE, Fla. Marc Gasol Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. Kyle Lowry Raptors Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.RIO DE JANEIRO -- The key to the mens 80-kilogram taekwondo competition at the Rio Games may be Liliana Marie Rogowski.Shes 1, and isnt exactly competitive yet.But if you like either superstitions or coincidence, heres why she could be a factor: Since 1999, whenever a baby arrives in the Lopez family in the year before an Olympics, Steven Lopez wins a medal in taekwondo. Its a trend he hopes to continue on Friday, when he competes on the Olympic stage for the fifth time and looks to add to the medals he claimed in 2000, 2004 and 2008.In `99, Jean, my older brother, had a baby and she was my inspiration, Lopez said. In 2003, he had another baby. In 2007, he had another baby. In 2011, no babies -- and I didnt do well. And now Liliana, my sister Dianas baby, was born in 2015. So Im ready to go.Family is everything to Lopez, and taekwondo is the family business. Jean Lopez, the oldest sibling, is Stevens coach. Younger brother Mark Lopez is his training partner here at the Rio Games. Younger sister Diana Lopez spent part of the summer working out with her brothers, and will be watching Friday from Houston where she, her husband and daughter live.In 2008, Steven, Mark and Diana all medaled at the Beijing Games. Mark and Diana have transitioned out of the day-to-day grind; Mark wears a suit to work now and has a job in finance, while Diana is a teacher. Meanwhile, Steven Lopez remains in the game, and its hardly a sure thing that Tokyo wont be on his mind in four years either.But at 37, thoughts about the family legacy within the sport are more prevalent in his mind now than they were at past games.Its just an ordinary family thats been able to do extraordinary things, Steven Lopez said. Its through faith in God, love of family and dedication and sacrifice. My parents immigrated from Nicaragua, a very poor country, and what my parents showed me is the work ethic and to appreciate every single thing this country has offered me. So in training, we take into account the way we were brought up, to be the very best.The family patriarch, Julio Lopez, was an athlete while growing up in Nicaragua, competing in track and swimming. He and his wife Ondina eventually moved to New York and one of their ways their kids got used to things in America was through sports. And once they all tried taekwondo, they were basically hooked.Not only are we likee the epitome of the American dream, weve been successful at the sport for so long that we know the Lopez name will always be part of the taekwondo world, Diana Lopez said.dddddddddddd I think our legacy will always be there. My brothers and I have carved a path for all taekwondo players, not just in the U.S.They are a proud family, with good reason. You cant even add up how many regional and national titles theyve all won along the way.Theyre also a tough family, perhaps no one more than Steven. In one recent competition, his shoulder was dislocated 10 times, but hed just have it popped back in and go out and keep fighting.And in the London Games, he was bothered by injury as well -- he tried to compete with a broken leg. Yes, he was trying to jump, balance and kick people with a broken leg.Theres some times in our lives when you kind of look up and then go `Why? Why did this happen? Steven Lopez said. Unfortunately, one of those instances happened to me two weeks before my competition date when I got injured and I went out there and tried the best I could. The doctor shot me full of lidocaine that morning and I did the best I could.He lost in the first round.I couldnt go out like that, he said.So hes still here, and appreciating the irony. In 2000, he remembers some saying he was too young to win -- and he got gold. In 2012, he was the oldest competitor out of the 128 at the London Games and it was widely presumed the end had arrived.Four years later, hes still here.Add another chapter to the Lopez legacy.Hes the greatest of all time in our sport, U.S. teammate Stephen Lambdin said. Theres no ifs, ands or buts about it. You can spend five minutes with this guy and get a massive amount of experience. Anytime he stops and starts to get serious and talks taekwondo, everybody in the room gets quiet and listens. Theres nobody in the history of the sport that has his experience and general determination. Like I said, hes the greatest of all time.Lopez wont say definitively if this is the last Olympics for him. But theres a niece and a nephew coming up as well, so it seems at least somewhat likely that theres a Lopez in Tokyo four years from now.Its a responsibility, Lopez said, and our family embraced it.
