Goalkeeper Scores Last-Second, Game-Tying Bicycle Kick
In the last seconds of yesterday's match, down 0-1, fourth tier Spanish side UD Alcúdia sent keeper Barceló forward as an 11th attacker. To everyone's surprise, it totally worked. ...
Drunk Fan At Alabama-LSU Game Has Unsettling Dance Moves
Yeah, I don't have the slightest clue what this guy's deal is. But I do know that he needs to become best friends with Raptor Fan as soon as possible. ...
The Problem With Bitching About Fourth Downs And Two-Point Conversions
It's funny how the analytics of a sport can often mirror the sport itself. Sabermetrics are as regimented (or more) as the national pastime ever was; basketball analytics have progressed into lively, intersecting data points thanks to new player tracking technology; and heady football talk often en...
Linesman Accidentally Punched Out In Junior Hockey Fight
BCHL linesman Ryan Dawson was just doing his job on Saturday, trying to break up a scrap between Vernon's T.J. Dumonceaux and Prince George's Christian Weidauer. He got clipped in the chin by a punch from Dumonceaux and went down in a bloody heap....

People Keep Tweeting Hate And Support At The Wrong Jonathan Martin
You know what this Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin mess could use? Some levity. So let's take a moment to laugh at how dumb people on the internet are. ...
Cobb County Taxpayers Won't Get A Say On Funding The Braves' Stadium
Funny thing, this: A new Braves stadium in Cobb County was announced as basically a done deal, without mentioning how much public money would go toward it, or asking taxpayers for their approval. The answer to the former is apparently "a lot." As for the latter: those taxpayers won't get a say....
An Emotional Shannon Sharpe Rips The Dolphins Locker Room
On CBS's pregame show, Shannon Sharpe had some very strong words for the Dolphins, less about their handling of the Incognito-Martin fallout, and more about a locker room that let things get to the point where a white player can call a teammate a "half-nigger" and it's supposed to be taken in good h...
How Peter King Got His (Late) Dog Because Of The Redskins
It's almost not fair to write about putting down an aged dog, because there's no possible way you can read it and not get misty-eyed. (Bill Simmons's piece on his late dog remains one of the best things he's ever written). Today it's Peter King's turn to pay tribute to Twitter-famous Bailey, who was...
Florida State Running Back Demonstrates How To Run Over A Defender
Turns out, it's a lot like it sounds. The defender's lucky that James Wilder Jr. was close to the end zone, otherwise he probably would have been dragged along for another ten yards or so. Photo by Nell Redmond/AP Images...
"That Moment Before It Starts When You're Scared": Tyson In His Prime
Before he became the main attraction at the freak show, and before he became a kitsch icon, Mike Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion in history, and a fighter of seemingly limitless promise. There was no way to know it at the time, but when Pete Dexter wrote the story below, he was capturing...

Rob Ryan Had Drinks With Saints Fans After Beating The Cowboys
The Wolfman seems to have made a habit out of celebrating home victories with a trip to a New Orleans dive bar. After his Saints beat the Cowboys last night, Ryan was once again spotted in Ms. Mae's, buying rounds for everyone in the house. ...
Watch Some 5- And 6-Year-Olds Run The Statue Of Liberty Play
The Suniland Sundevils adorably embarrassed their equally adorable opponents with this trick play. If I coached pee wee football, I'd run trick plays all the time. Precious little swinging gates. Darling hook and laterals. Look at them! They think they're people!...
Women's College Hockey Brawl Sets NCAA Record
On Friday night, after the final horn sounded on a not-particularly-chippy game between Bemidji State and Ohio State, the teams clashed in a massive brawl that saw 287 penalty minutes and 19 game disqualifications, both NCAA records for any division or gender....
The USWNT's Bus Broke Down, So The Players Hitched A Ride With Fans
I don't think there's any collection of athletes more likable than the members of the The U.S. Women's National Team. Case in point: The team was in Orlando, Fla., this weekend to play an exhibition match against Brazil when their team bus broke down after a practice session. Instead of waiting arou...
