On lap 121 of Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, a cable supporting an overhead camera snapped and fell across the track. Ten fans were injured, three hospitalized, and the race was red-flagged for nearly a half-hour after several cars were damaged. It could have been much worse, and the eyewitness video is…

Wigan entered today's FA Cup final as 17-2 underdogs, and are facing a major uphill battle to stay in the Premiership. That Ben Watson—a late substitution who broke his leg early this season—scored the winning goal for the Latics makes today's story that much more improbable.

The duo of Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, SportsCentre anchors and the two of the three most important people in Canadian history (with Chris Hadfield, of course), will be leaving TSN in June and heading to Los Angeles, reportedly to work for the soon-to-launch Fox Sports 1.

For the first time in history, an English F.A. Cup match is being aired live on American broadcast television.
