Yeah, yeah, we GIFād this earlier but something this spectacular deserves the full Deadspin Video treatment. Perhaps the goal of this yearās World Cup, Frenchman Benjamin Pavardāwho cashes checks from, uh, Stuttgartāhammered home this half-volley with, shall we say, elan.
Grant Hill learned today heād be the newest member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. But whatever pride he might have felt at that honor dissipated, for a moment, as he saw Michiganās Moe Wagner hurtling through the air toward him.
Now that Vin Scullyās retired, Verne Lundquist reigns supreme as the patriarch of sports broadcasting. The CBS legend got a bit more into the game than usual, though, before todayās broadcast of the Notre Dame-WVU game in Buffalo. Ouch!

āIt was the stupidest thing in 20 years doing this job,ā Bernie Beaudry says. āI only saw the smoke. I didnāt see anybody coming, and then, boom!ā
We are blessed by the NFLās benevolence in its grace to provide us the finest professional football every Thursday night. We arenāt worthy of witnessing the incredible talents of the Jacksonville Jaguars weeklyālet alone in such a showcase as Thursday Night Football.
Fiji eliminated New Zealand from the menās rugby sevens bracket with a 12-7 quarterfinal win today, with the first score coming on the heels of this massive stiffarm delivered by Toulonās Josua Tuisova. This is the good stuff.
Rougned Odor slugged JosĆ© Bautista in the face following the latterās questionable slide into second and sparked a brawl talking heads will be discussing all week. While we wait for the inevitable punishments to be handed down, letās appreciate the point of contact as presented in extreme slow motion.
Here we see Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter doing his best impression of a Bills fan tailgating.
UCLA kicker Kaāimi Fairbairn got blown up while serving as the Bruinsā last chance to stop a Tim White kick return. But Arizona State didnāt take the kick to the house, because Fairbairnās helmet brought White down. Itās Pac-12 after dark, at least on the east coast.
The eastern seaboard is a bit wet this morning, which provided the ideal opportunity for this lanky bro to belly-flop into a mud pit. Itās Clemsoning, visualized!
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Arsenal yesterday in a battle of clubs fighting for third place in the Premiership, and the desire to win drove Man United defender Phil Jones to the ground in search of a ball that was just a bit too elusiveāno matter how much crawling it took. But even from his hands and knees, Jonesā¦
Whoās excited? Clippers owner and perpetually enthusiastic oligarch Steve Ballmer, thatās who. He has reason to be, given his teamās outstanding effort against the Spurs tonight, but his orgasmic faces deserve an extra-special, extra-slow examination.
ESPN found a North Florida band member going berserk at today's A-Sun title game in Jacksonville, and this is before the Ospreys downed USC-Upstate to earn their first trip to the NCAA tournament. We can only assume what he did after the buzzer sounded was too extreme for television.
Jermaine Kearse completed one of the wildest catches in Super Bowl history, one that won't be remembered due to the inexplicable decision that followed.

Arizona held off the Sun Devils to seize the Territorial Cup and a trip to the Pac-12 championship game today, but a late unsportsmanlike conduct penalty left Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez in an extremely combustible state.
It's been a rough night in Houston for the San Antonio Spurs, as the reigning NBA champions found themselves down big early and never had a chance to come back. Tim Duncan's stuck on the bench with a mandated night off, and it's clear he's not happy with what the Spurs scrubs are putting together.
Never shame a man who tries his hardest, as the Rams' Daren Bates did today in attempting to block a 49ers field goalāand pulled the trigger just a bit too early.
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.
