Untied Shoelace Leads To Two Great Displays Of Soccer Sportsmanship
After collecting the ball during a match last week in the Saudi Arabian league last week, Al-Nahda goalkeeper Tisir Al-Antaif found his shoelace undone. With his big Hamburger Helper gloves, he couldn't re-tie it himself. So Al-Ittihad's Brazilian striker Jobson bent down to do it for him....

That audio of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini venting and cursing (and cursing and cursing) about fans and some members of the media has existed for two years now.

Here's The Steve Gleason Bit That Got Three Atlanta Radio Hosts Fired
Today, former Saint Steve Gleason guested on SI's MMQB—no mean feat since he's in the later stages of ALS.

Legendary Homer Jack Edwards Compares One Bruin's Shot-Block To D-Day
So Gregory Campbell blocked a shot, broke his leg, and finished a shift. It was courageous, in the way these things are, and—to state the obvious—unworthy of this hallowed analogy, which Edwards presented (naturally) on WEEI.

Who Made The Not-Quite-Baseball-Hall-Of-Fame In 2013?
So we know who made up the class of 2013 at the Baseball Hall of Fame: no one. Well, OK, the veterans committee voted in Hank O'Day, Col. Jacob Ruppert, and Deacon White. But they all died in the 1930s; we wouldn't expect much in the way of induction speeches....

Why NBA Players Hate Buzzer-Beaters
The last bits of the first three quarters of NBA games bring a lot of desperate shots. (Like the one above.) But many of them are released after the whistle. (Also like the one above.) Apparently players are self-conscious about their shooting percentages. On this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang U...

In advance of this afternoon's interview, Katie Couric's show has released recordings of three voicemails provided by Manti Te'o.

Mike Francesa Forgot To Turn In His Heisman Vote
The Heisman Trophy winner will be announced this Saturday, and it's going to be a good one.
