In Case You Forgot What Disney Is
It seems like it has been so long now that Disney has owned ESPN (ABC bought ESPN in 1994, and Disney bought ABC in 1996) that we forget just how unusual the collaboration. Fortunately, this random, bizarre promotional video — we don't know if it's official or not; it looks like it's actually a resu...
"Unfortunately, We Don't Have That Tape Either"
From the "Boom Goes The Dynamite" file comes this decade-old but new-to-us clip of a Quincy, Ill. CBS affiliate....
Joe Torre, Back When He Had To Work A Little Bit
Even among people who hate the Yankees, there is a grudging respect for manager Joe Torre, who exemplifies class, stoicism and wisdom in a game that many consider often lacking in all three....
"You Want Me To Do That With You?"
The mad geniuses at Free Darko aren't taking the summer off: They're finding absolute gems like this video, which features Timberwolves superstar Kevin Garnett gets his Bob Harris on while visiting an Asian television show....
We Can't Believe This Hasn't Happened In Philly Yet
From the Videos That Scare You To Your Very Core Department comes this from-the-stands video of Brazilian soccer team Gremio supporters at a game last weekend. If you think this isn't terrifying enough, here's, as Paul Harvey might say, the REST of the story:...
Yao Ming's Big, Big Stand
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming doesn't just spend his offseasons taking a stroll or two around the track. He also spends it saving elephants by swatting away bullets heading toward them directly out of the air. See, he's not just tall; he's made of some sort of indestructible material....
Finally, YouTube Of Monday-Cooper, Part II
We know, it's a week-and-a-half old now, but we never did get a hold of YouTube of the gripping finale of the Carl Monday-Mike Cooper saga, and it has been nagging us, since we this whole thing started from YouTube anyway....
Not The Best Way To Protect Valuables
There's no way of verifying whether or not this is real — our spider senses say no — but even if it's not, it's something we've all been afraid of. A German fan on his way to the World Cup, showing off his tickets to a fellow traveler, has a serious mishap....
Bobby Knight Wants YOU
From We Are The Postmen, the fine people who brought you the profane Bobby Knight golf instructional video from a few months back, here's another great one, with Coach doing a recruiting video for the Marines....
Tsuyoshi Shinjo, SUPERSTAR!
We're not going to say anything about this Japanese video of New York Mets flop Tsuyoshi Shinjo. We're just going to show it. And then hide....
Stepping In The Ole Way-Back Machine
OK, so this is three years old, apropos of nothing — other than baseball finally coming back tonight — and has probably been seen by a lot of you. But someone just sent it to us, and even if you have seen it, it's still worth a revisit....
Your Knicks Highlight Video
We have a feeling you could probably put together 15-20 ugly plays by any player, in any sport, and make them look like the worst player on earth. That said, this montage of Malik Rose "highlights" from last season still made us laugh ... mainly just because it's the Knicks. We'd love to see similar...
When You Gotta Go ...
What would a Monday morning/afternoon be without a little bit of pee humor?...
The Ballad Of The Bengals Fan
You know how we love a good and dopey fan-written team tribute song — Sweet Shaun Alexander still wins the prize for the worst, if you ask us — and this one's a particularly fun one, "The Ballad Of The Bengals," about how Cincinnati is finally going to take out Pittsburgh this year, or something, we...
Do Not Anger The Pirates Fans Any Further
We don't mean to imply that things are starting to get particularly ugly in Pittsburgh ... but people are now booing the mascot for not being a parrot....
Stage Diving, NASCAR Style
If we were bigger NASCAR fans, we would have certainly known about this earlier — since it happened about a month ago — but we're not, so we needed We Are The Postmen to point it out to us....
Joe Mikulik, The Day After
We know you couldn't possibly have gotten enough of the great Joe Mikulik yesterday, so here's some more from everyone's favorite minor league manager. First, here's video from the stands, one long unbroken take that starts with the now infamous stolen base and ends with Mikulik exiting stage right ...
Dan Fouts, Unplugged!
In honor of Bill Simmons' and ESPN's discovery of YouTube today — and our cameo appearance — we thought we'd dig up a fun old YouTube of Verne Lundquist and Dan Fouts, on CBS, killing some time before the start of a Cowboys game. We love the facial expressions Fouts makes into the camera here. We th...
An Ultimate Fighting Bedtime Story
We don't know much about Ultimate Fighting Pride, and we definitely don't know who these two people are. But, somewhere in this short, quick, violent clip, there's a moral. A lesson. One to grow on. Something like that....
Nothing Like Some Singing Limeys
Say what you will about those Brits, but they sure can freaking sing....
