Ohio State Grapplers Like To Shake It
So last week, the Ohio State wrestling team entered into some talent show that was judged, along with others, by Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel (he's also judging the talent show at Maurice Clarett's prison). It wasn't necessarily a bad year for OSU wrestling, but if this video is any indicatio...
Seriously, Lidge Is About To Turn The Corner
We didn't get to pay much tribute yesterday to Brad Lidge losing his closer's job already, but hey, it's never too late to show that video from the 2005 NLCS. It's OK to toss this in, it's not rubbing it in, because the Astros won that series. Right?...
Which One Is Mothra Again?
On Wednesday, Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his Fenway Park debut ... and it's not just a big day for him and the Red Sox, it's also huge for the Japanese baseball fans. Because it's not only Dice-K out there; he's going to face Ichiro Suzuki. If only they could pull Hideki Matsui off the DL for a day...
They're The One That You Want
We got the impression from some Florida fans that we were not giving the two-time champions the proper reverence in the wake of their victories, and if that's true, we apologize. We meant no harm. It is an outstanding achievement, whether or not Joakim Noah has unnatural feelings toward his mother. ...
Teddy Roosevelt's Gonna Do What He Has To Do To Win
So poor Teddy Roosevelt, in the grand president mascot races at RFK, can't catch a break: He didn't win at all last year, and he's resorting to desperate measures ... like, say, rappelling from the roof of the stadium on Opening Day yesterday. Poor guy: He still didn't win. The Bull Moose party, the...
Joakim Noah, Gleefully Making No Sense
Thanks to Every Day Should Be Saturday, we have the bizarre interview with Joakim Noah after the Gators' win last night which confirms, if you had any doubt, that nobody has the foggiest idea of what Joakim Noah's talking about....
"The Ball Is Tipped ..."
Because we are just more than two days away from the Final Four, we thought we'd all work ourselves up into a sappy, cheesy frenzy with the good ole "One Shining Moment." Never before has something so horrible felt so, so right. (Note: Everything horrible feels right, actually.)...
The Real, True Story Of Pac Man
We're mostly wary of little sketch comedy gimmicks online, but we have to say, we did enjoy this video reimagining of the circumstances of Pac Man Jones' life and times. They go for the obvious joke, from the beginning ... but that doesn't change the fact that the image of a big puffy yellow Pac Man...
Afterwards, They Made Him Eat Actual Buckeyes
This is an old video, but it never fails to crack us up and remind us, when we are watching Ohio State play a sporting event on the largest possible stage, just what kind of people are rooting for them. We love how they jump in joy after it happens....
One More Look At That Sheed Shot
So we know we just wrote about this in the NBA roundup, and that you've probably seen it on "SportsCenter" or somewhere else already, but, frankly, we just want to have it on our site: Here's Rasheed Wallace's batshit crazy 60-footer last night....
Going Bonkers In D.C.
Of the teams that reached the Final Four, none seemed to take more joy from it than Georgetown, who not only have gone the longest between visits, but won in such an inspiring fashion. How'd they celebrate in DC? By marching all over the place, as documented by unsilent majority over at No Mas. It's...
The Monastic Butler Pep Rally Video
We're not sure why this video affected us so much when we watched it last night — it's actually quite silly. But in a tournament that has offered us so few upsets, and little opportunity for the little guy smacking it to the big guy, we couldn't help but find ourselves a little inspired to see a But...
Ichiro's Super Happy Memory Challenge!
Via Seattlest and The Fanhouse, here's a video of some sort of "mind challenge" game show featuring the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki. He seems to rather serious about the game, and, frankly, we're kind of intimidated, even though, obviously, we have no idea what he's saying....
We Won't Have What She's Having
We forget sometimes that, as fledgling as some leagues in the United States are, there are even more desperate-for-publicity soccer leagues over in England. The league being "promoted" here in this slightly NSFW video is The NPL, which, according to Soccernista, is "six steps below the Premiership."...
If You Can't Handle Eight Soccer Players, You Probably Shouldn't Run On The Pitch
If Hirshey had been on duty this week, he might have gotten into this, but for now, we'll just go with That's On Point's report on a fan rushing on the field to punch a Chelsea player during a Chelsea-Totteham soccer match this week. The fan makes it out for the fight, but, as you can tell from the ...
Bob Knight Would Like To Help CCSU Motivate The Troops
One More Dying Quail has some suggestions for motivational speeches that coaches can use to fire up their underdog teams in the tournament tomorrow. They bring up The Gene Hackman, The John Belushi (cocaine optional), The Dwight Schrute Podium Hammer and, our personal favorite, the infamous Bob Knig...
Looking Back At Sosa's Halcyon Days Of Yesteryear
Among the worthless — but muscular! — heap of relics from the 1998 Mark McGwire-Sammy Sosa home run chase? The priceless Slammin' Sammy: The Sammy Sosa Story, an animated "feature" about Sammy Sosa and "how a hero became a legend."...
"Please, Sir, May I Have Another?!"
Ah, spring training. A time to work all the kinks out, ease one's self into the rigors of a long baseball season, iron out all the soft spots in your game. And for Red Sox prospect Jacoby Ellsbury, it's when you learn how to handle a thrown baseball hitting you in the head from two inches away. All ...
"Gimme A Little James Brown There, Big Boy!"
Those Syracuse, Kansas State and Drexel fans who are still frustrated they didn't make the NCAA Tournament probably don't want to watch this video; it's the dramatic documentation of three Arkansas fans before, during and after the Razorbacks' loss to Florida on Sunday. We don't know what kind of si...
Bad Tar Heels, Bad!
Anyone who's married or in serious relationship can vouch for the difficulty of mixed allegiances; when you're a Cardinals girl, it's gonna be difficult sometimes for you to deal with a Cubs boy. (And not just because of all the crying.) Yankees fans and Red Sox fans can't mate; it's against the law...
