Kentucky basketball fans have invaded Nashville in an attempt to overwhelm Vanderbilt fans ahead of today's matchup between the Wildcats and Commodores, one which ESPN chose as its College GameDay site of the week. (They're not-so-cleverly calling it "Occupy Memorial.") More »

I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wish to tune in the tournament (on Golf Channel until 3 ET, then CBS) just to see if Murray does anything else ridiculous. [Golf Channel] More »

Last night, Derek Holland dropped by News 8's studio to give Peter Delkus a hand with the weather forecasting. What followed was a clinic on how to be a goofball Major League Baseball player who reads the weather for a local news broadcast. Highlights include the weatherman—"meteorologist"—calling Holland out for ripping off Will Ferrell's Harry Carey impersonation, Holland repeatedly saying "would you look at that?!!" in a weird voice, and an anthropomorphic state of Texas thanks to Holland's green screen shirt.

Don't let this video frame fool you: Clint Dempsey is focused. The Fulham star continues to make his case for being the best American ever to play in the English Premier League, and this strike to put his squad up 2-0 on Stoke City was lethal. It's his 11th goal of the season. Sure, it may have technically been an own goal, but the ball was all Dempsey's. [Fox Soccer] More »

Liverpool striker Luis Suárez, who returned this week from an eight-game suspension for racial abuse, showed he was a changed man when meeting Patrice Evra before today's Manchester United-Liverpool match. Ha-ha, no, he refused to shake the hand of the player against whom he allegedly abused in the racial manner, forcing Evra to grab his arm in what definitely does not qualify as a handshake.

It's Star Wars night at the Palace, which means yet another night for nerds to strap on their Stormtrooper masks and pretend to have a social life at a sports venue. Fox Sports Detroit sideline reporter Shannon Hogan decided to play along and interview Chewbacca, who the Pistons broadcast named "Wookiee Of The Year." We think that's a bit premature; Nikola Vucevic is having an excellent season himself. [FSN Detroit] More »

Once again, John Buccigross is in the middle of daytime SportsCenter antics, this time with Dwayne Johnson, who may or may not still be using "The Rock" professionally.

There's just no stopping this Lin fellow. Here he is taking over what appears to be the 2009 Harvard intramural flag football championship between Winthrop House and Leverett House (respect). A two-way threat, Lin can be seen flying all over the field. Just chuck the ball in his direction and let him go up and get it. Total Linsanity. (To note: The highlight reel was produced by some outfit called LevSPN, which tempers our excitement somewhat.) More »

Perhaps referees can't be bothered to care when two last-place teams go at it. That's the only possible explanation for the lack of a call on Anaheim's Corey Perry for tripping up Carolina's Jussi Jokinen. It wasn't away from the puck, or in a cloud of bodies, but right out there in the open where everyone and their mother but not referee Tim Peel could see. The old "let them play" dictum is nice, but not when the offense is so blatant and the turnover leads to the perp scoring the game-winner while the victim is still regaining his footing. More »

There was a time in poker—and it really wasn't all that long ago—when men played cards like men, goddammit. A time before sponsorship deals and under-the-table cameras and sanitized modern-day casinos. In this earlier era, poker players honed their skills and filled their pockets working illegal games that could often turn violent, especially if players were armed. (And weren't they always back then?) Poker hall of famer Doyle Brunson knows something of those days. Brunson has been playing cards for more than half a century and, like most old-timers, has a few tales to recount. More »

It can't feel good to lose, especially in front of an empty arena. But it takes a certain amount of hubris—beyond the amount we're comfortable with, at least—to celebrate a shot before it goes in, especially if that shot wouldn't even win you the game. Then it doesn't go in, and all the sympathy we would have shown Steven Pledger went out the door when he proto-Tebowed to celebrate just another missed field goal attempt. The Missouri Tigers held on and moved to 22-2 on the season. Oklahoma fell to 13-10. [ESPNU] More »

This morning, the Patriots are talking dropped passes. Aaron Hernandez had one, Deion Branch had one, but most visibly, Wes Welker was hit in the hands on a long pass that would have extended the Patriots drive with four minutes left. It wasn't the best throw, but it was catchable, and after the game Tom Brady put it was gently as he could: "missed opportunities." More »

Will Ferrell's previously done Old Milwaukee ads local to the Davenport and Terre Haute markets, and tonight he apparently extended that to North Platte, Nebraska. (We believe that's the only market in which this spot aired; we know it didn't air during the local spot break in Omaha, and we don't have access to video from the other NBC affiliate in Nebraska, KHAS Grand Island/Kearney.) North Platte is New England running back Danny Woodhead's hometown, so that might be a clue. If you saw this spot run on something other than KNOP, let us know. More »
