Goalkeeper Tries To Rearrange Ref's Face With Haymaker

Romeo Mitrović, of the Bosnian second division side Bratstvo Gračanica, does not like refs. He doesn't like their cards, he doesn't like their attitude, and he especially doesn't like their faces. Which is apparently why he tried to split one ref's wig after being shown a yellow....

Man With Patriots Helmet Tattoo Arrested On Synthetic Weed Charges

You may remember Victor Thompson, the man with a Patriots helmet tattooed on his head, from back in 2012.

Playoff races make strange bedfellows. The Portland Timbers are hanging on for dear life, two measly points up on the Vancouver Whitecaps for the fifth and final playoff spot in the West.

U.S. Champ Tyler Pennel Tells You How To Not Fuck Up Your First Marathon

Prior to Sunday, Tyler Pennel had never run a marathon. In fact, to prepare for 26.2 miles, the farthest the 26-year-old North Carolina resident had run was 23 miles in training. Didn't matter.

Sweet ESPN Martial Arts Broadcast A Throwback To Network's Early Days

If you're old enough to remember any of the 80's, you know that ESPN wasn't always the home to 24-hour jabbering analysts and NFL talk shows.

The Cavaliers And Heat Can't Make That Three-Point Goggle Sign In Brazil

You know that cool thing LeBron sometimes does after he hits a three-pointer when he connects his thumb and index finger so it's like a little circle, then holds it over his eye with the other three fingers up so it resembles a monocle to show, Hey, I made that three? When he and the Cavaliers play ...
