A Shot So Strange And Good You Have To Laugh
Fabio Fognini, tennis’s sleepy pirate and occasional misogynist, is typically the one doing all the comical, soft-handed trick shots in his matches.

The Spurs, Who Have No Good Players, Are Having A Hard Time

Radford Earns Big South Conference Championship With Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
I’m still digging the buzzer-beaters over here.
