Marcus Smart Pulls Game-Winning Layup Out Of His Ass
What the NBA’s Eastern Conference lacks in good basketball teams, it makes up for in an oddly exciting race for the last two playoff spots. The Celtics are one of five teams separated by just two games between seventh and 11th place. Three of those teams—Miami, Charlotte and Boston—played in games d...
Goalie Doesn't Know Shootout Started, Still Makes Save
Former and maybe future NHLer Paul Bissonnette is currently playing in the AHL for the Manchester Monarchs. He posted a pretty funny video on Instagram from the team’s shootout against the Hartford Wolf Pack earlier today. Apparently it was so loud at Hartford’s XL Center that the Manchester goalie—...

Carlos Tevez Scores Indirect Free Kick From 6 Yards Out
Every once in awhile you see an indirect free kick—meaning a goal can only be scored if it touches one other player first—awarded only a few yards away from the goal. In this case, the referee judged that the Empoli goalkeeper picked the ball up after it was deliberately passed back to him by a te...
Professional Soccer Team Somehow Fails To Score On 5 vs. 1
Down 0-1 in stoppage time yesterday in a Swiss Super League match against Young Boys, FC Vaduz sent nearly everybody forward in attack.

MSU Fan Interrupts Allie LaForce Live Report To Propose To Her
Just hours after a Kentucky fan told ESPN’s Kaylee Hartung that she was “gorgeous” during an interview, Michigan State cranked up the inappropriate behavior when a Spartans fan invaded Allie LaForce’s live shot to propose to the (already married) CBS reporter.

Andrew Brandt Has Another Unfunny Twitter Joke
In September we were tipped off to the Twitter account of then-ESPN reporter Andrew Brandt (it isn’t clear where he works now, but he’s popped up at MMQB a lot lately), where he made the same joke about over and over and over and over again. We said he needed to find a new Twitter joke, and it seem...
Wayne Rooney Perfection Gives Man United The Advantage They Need
Don’t look now—and Aston Villa may still find the equalizer, having scored just a minute after this—but Wayne Rooney is up to his usual tricks, with a physics-defying touch followed by a half-volley on the rise, between two defenders. The full video, with perfect commentary, is below:...
Chip Kelly Is Wreaking Havoc On Philly Sporting Goods Stores
Nobody is quite sure what Chip Kelly is doing, and that probably includes Chip Kelly himself. Is Sam Bradford his quarterback, or is it all part of a plan to trade up for his former college quarterback Marcus Mariota? Why did he sign Ryan Mathews even though he had already signed DeMarco Murray? Was...
This Tim Howard Save Is Amazing

They're Gonna Crucify Me: A Heathen's Guide To Easter
Life gets more complicated and demanding as you become an adult. Children are not expected to know much of anything—or to understand the meaning and significance of stuff, or to buy their own beer—so long as they interact with the world sweetly and cutely, and from time to time throw in an unprom...

Josh Hamilton Will Not Be Suspended For Relapse [Update]
With MLB and union appointees deadlocked on the issue of whether Josh Hamilton’s relapse was a suspendable offense, the decision fell to an independent arbitrator. The arbitrator has made the call: Hamilton didn’t violate the terms of his treatment program, will not be punished, and is eligible to p...
Warriors Top Suns In A Bonkers Final 30 Seconds
The first 47:30 of the Warriors-Suns game was mostly forgettable, but the final half minute had as much drama as you could ever hope for. Down two, the Warriors got four cracks at the basket—good defensive rebounding, Suns—with Stephen Curry finally nailing a three with eight seconds remaining: ...

Ryan Johansen Scores The Chillest Shootout Goal You'll See
Ryan Johansen’s signature shootout move is ... to not make any move at all! It sounds like something somebody came up with while high, but it really works. Johansen is 6 of 10 in shootouts this year, and he pulled the same thing three weeks ago too: ...
