A Camera Cable Fell On Kyle Busch's Car During The Coca-Cola 600
The cable, which belonged to FOX, snapped and struck several cars at lap 124 of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Munenori Kawasaki Hits Walk-Off Double, Is A Post-Game Delight
This is just a whole lot of fun. Kawasaki hit a walk-off two-run double off Baltimore's struggling closer Jim Johnson—giving the Blue Jays a 6-5 win in a game they trailed 5-2 going into in the ninth—and delivered a great impromptu-yet-also-scripted post-game interview. ...

This is from 1999 and judging by the credits (and the moves) it is probably an NBA Finals celebration when Pop's Spurs beat the New York Knicks. ...
Watch This Sideline Reporter Almost Get Smoked By A Baseball
On another day, this story would've been an obituary. Well...that's a little hyperbolic, but on another day this story would've been about how Brewers sideline reporter Sophia Minnaert has to spend the next couple of months in a cast after getting a few metacarpals broken, or at least bruised. But t...
Back On The Pony: Recovering Fatass Soundtrack
I'm saying I got back on the pony because calling what I did "getting back on the horse" is an insult to horses.

Ángel Pagán's Walk-Off Inside-The-Park Home Run Was Just Foolish
So this is what the San Francisco Giants do. Sort of. They lead the majors with seven walk-off home runs already this year, so we guess that they found a way to win at home to the Rockies even when they were down 5-4 in the 10th inning shouldn't be too much of a surprise. This, though, wasn't just a...

Bayern Munich just knocked off German rivals Borussia Dortmund, 2-1, in the Champions League final after Bayern winger Arjen Robben scored in the 89th minute to win the match.
