Arizona Coach Sean Miller On Court Storming: Someone's Going To Punch A Fan

No. 9 Arizona fell 75-72 to Colorado last night, the buzzer coming just after Allonzo Trier’s potential tying three clanged harmlessly away, and then, for the 10th time in the Wildcats’ last 11 road losses, the home fans charged the court....

Hahaha, What The Hell Kind Of Ingenious Rainbow Goal Is This?

This goal, scored by Ranger’s striker Kenny Miller, is crazy. The ball’s trajectory is less a dipping curler and more a meteor falling out of the sky and somehow landing in the side netting. It’s a curve you’d learn to plot in high school math class with your graphing calculator come to life. The go...

Yaya Touré Belter Saves Manchester City From Themselves

He’s been doing it for years now, but it’s still ridiculous just how good Yaya Touré is at scoring goals. This curler, knocked in from the top of the box at the end of Manchester City’s match against Dynamo Kiev, was as important as it was pretty, as it all but sealed City’s progression into the nex...

Is Steph Curry Making Other NBA Players Worse?

Steph Curry is a bloodless assassin who could shoot your eyelashes off from a mile away and is destroying the rest of the NBA by nailing shots from near-mid-court on a regular basis. He’s a fucking freak of nature, but is his uncanny long-range ability rubbing off on lesser NBA players (****cough co...

I Surrender To My Paunch

There’s the dime-sized scar from the chicken pox that I scratched at until it bled, the thickets of hair that shot out of my skin when I was ten, stretch marks raking down at the sides from cutting, bulking, cutting and bulking. I am always aware of the way this finger-deep layer of fat and water hi...

Chaco Giménez Shoots From Goddamn Jupiter, Scores

This Full-Court Chest-Pass Buzzer-Beater Is Incredible

I can’t think of another shot quite like Josh Henderson’s 70-foot buzzer-beater at the end of the first half of Vanderbilt’s 87-74 win over Florida. The low angle of the damn thing makes it nearly impossible, like an inch off in any direction would have sent it careening into the stands. It’s like a...

Update [11:01 a.m.]: Turns out, the tweeted picture showing the remote in the TV was a joke and not actually a picture of Sotherton’s TV. Sorry for the error. The original post is below....

The Canadiens' Automated Twitter Promotion Has Gone Horribly Awry

I thought we’d already learned our lesson here. Just like the New England Patriots, the Montreal Canadiens decided to celebrate reaching one million followers on Twitter by creating custom avatar jerseys with Twitter handles.

Report: Jae’Sean Tate Re-Aggravated Shoulder Injury While Slapping The Court

Late in the second half of Saturday’s 65-62 victory over Nebraska, Ohio State wing Jae’Sean Tate tried to amp everybody up by repeatedly slapping the court. Unfortunately for him, this resulted Tai Webster blowing by him. And now, to add injury to insult, the floor slapping might’ve cost him his sea...

Barcelona Beat Arsenal Because They Have Lionel Messi

Okay, so it wasn’t just because Barcelona had Lionel Messi and Arsenal didn’t that the reigning Champions League title holders beat Arsenal today, even if the Argentine did account for both goals in the likely tie-deciding 2-0 scoreline. Unlike some of his most transcendent performances—like, say, h...

Stupid Little Piece Of Metal Bounces Valencia Youth Team From Tournament

Valencia and Chelsea met today in the UEFA Youth League, which is basically the Kiddie Champions League. The Round of 16 match came down to penalties, and Chelsea were declared winners after scoring all five of their spot kicks. Problem is, Valencia never actually missed any of their penalties, eith...
