Poor Dan Ellis Got Freight-Trained, Then Scored Upon
It's not supposed to work this way. Carolina goalie Dan Ellis was just minding his net and his own business, trying to wrest playing time from young Justin Peters in the wake of Cam Ward's MCL sprain. When—bam!—he gets bowled over by Ryan Callahan. Before he can collect himself, or scramble to his s...
The Bulls Got Screwed By A Correct Call
With 5.7 seconds left, down one in an OT thriller against the Nuggets (that no one was watching because Miami-Boston was mid-climax), the Bulls inbounded to Marco Belinelli.

The Kind Of Trash You Love: <em>Spring Breakers</em>, Reviewed.
1. Spring Breakers is trashy: I'm not telling you something you don't know here. It's self-consciously trashy, but not in any sort of wry, ironic, removed way. It dives headfirst into its trash, wallowing in it, wringing it for every last drop of slime. This is a nothing movie about nothing people d...
Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised.

West Virginia's not known for its excelsior journalism, but Charleston/Huntington NBC affiliate WSAZ has long been the flagship for getting it right in the Mountain State and is, seriously, a fantastic news operation.

Who Shot? J.R.: Why We Love The Knicks' Gunner
Here are all the players in NBA history who shot 29 or more times in a game but attempted two or fewer free throws. It's quite the list, really.

Soccer Referee Outruns Mob Of Angry Players And Team Officials
This happened during a match between Al-Nahda and Al-Salam Zgharta of the Lebanese second division soccer league. It is very weird.
