More and more athletes are professing their love for their second sport: cornhole. Recently, Boston Celtics’ Rajon Rondo told Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated how he loves playing.
Rondo spends most of his free time playing cornhole…. He owns two wooden boards, emblazoned with Kentucky and Louisville logos, which he spaces 27 feet apart in his front yard, according to the official rules. He installed a fire pit so he can play through the winter with his neighbor, a thirtysomething Boston businessman who has become equally consumed with tossing beanbags into circular holes. Rondo is thinking of entering national cornhole tournaments. “I’m ranked Number 1,” he says. He is kidding, but you have to ask to make sure. He does nothing for amusement.
