Illinois Shocks No. 1 Indiana On A Last-Second Layup
This is how you gain and then lose a No. 1 ranking in a span of five days. Illinois's Tyler Griffey's uncontested lay-up at the buzzer sealed a huge win over top-ranked Indiana, a game in which the Hoosiers were up 11 with 6:30 remaining. ...
Rangers Rinkside Reporter Takes A Puck To The Face
John Giannone is the man between the benches on MSG, and with time winding down in the second period, the puck found him. He cut open the bridge of his nose, which led to what I believe is a first: a reporter doing a live shot as his own blood pours down his face and into his mouth. He's a hockey ...
Joe Flacco Was Ready To Leave The Sideline And Tackle Ted Ginn On The Super Bowl's Last Play
How does a quarterback, helpless on the sidelines, deal with being on the brink of their first Super Bowl win? Tom Brady turned away, unable to watch. Eli Manning was giddy, probably planning to ride the Teacups over and over again. Joe Flacco? He was planning to cheat. Maybe he is elite....
Big Rugby Brawl Will Leave You Wanting More
Take a look at this fight, during a World Cup qualifier between Georgia (in white) and Belgium. It's pretty good—I guess. The newspapers are throwing all kinds of adjectives at it: "giant," "massive," "fiery." So why does the actual brawl disappoint?...

This Coco Crisp Bobblehead Does The Bernie, And You Want It
The A's adopted the Bernie Lean as their rally dance last year, and it seems to have been worked. After Coco Crisp introduced the clubhouse to the song (actually, two songs: "Moving Like Berney" by ISA and "Bernie Lean" by ATM & IMD), and adopted the latter as his walk-up music, Oakland went on a la...
Soccer Fan Runs Onto Field, Makes Terrible Attempt At Tackling Goalie
This happened during today's League Two match between Gillingham and Wycombe. Jordan Archer, the keeper for Wycombe, had just been given a yellow card for time wasting, an infraction which seems to have upset one crazy Gillingham fan. The fan decides to run onto the field and hit Archer with a poo...
Here's A Photo Of Johnny Manziel And Rob Gronkowski Wearing Shirts And Not Drinking
If you asked us which two athletes would be most likely to team up and flood the internet with photos of themselves shirtless and partying during a night out, our answer would be simple: Johnny Manziel and Rob Gronkowski. And yet, here we are, staring at a photo of Manziel and Gronk that features n...
Why Did The Superdome Power Go Out?
The lights went out, and they stayed out for 34 minutes. Colin Kaepernick had just been sacked, and the 49ers were down 22, and if momentum is a real thing, the blackout swung it firmly to San Francisco. Had the Niners come back to win, the power outage would've gone down in sports history as one o...
Baltimore 34, San Francisco 31: Your Super Bowl 47 GIF Roundup
The Baltimore Ravens outlasted the 49ers in a thrilling Super Bowl that looked all but over after the first half. Then the lights went out and the Ravens stopped pressing deep and the 49ers capitalized on some poor punting and suddenly we had a football game. In the end, the Ravens hung on thanks t...
Jim Harbaugh Tantrum GIF: Version 2,745
A Jim Harbaugh GIF could almost serve as the basis for an entirely new generation of Mad Libs. "In the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl against (noun), Jim Harbaugh (verb) like a little fucking (noun) after the 49ers (verb)."...
Here's Your GIF Of The Moment The Lights Went Out At The Super Bowl
"The players have never been in a situation like this before..." as in the power going out, or the Super Bowl, or sober in New Orleans, or other? ...
Beyoncé's Halftime Show Featured An "Exploding" Guitar
That's something. I mean, really, Alicia Keys sings about how "this girl is on fire," but she means it figuratively. Beyoncé doesn't do anything figuratively....
The Ravens Dig The Deep Ball: Joe Flacco And Jacoby Jones Connect For The Play Of The Super Bowl (So Far)
We've previously mentioned Baltimore's affinity for the deep ball and here is Joe Flacco, once again, successfully going long. He may have underthrown it just a bit (give him a break though, he did throw it 50 yards downfield), but Jacoby Jones helped his quarterback out. He caught the ball as h...
Cary Williams Shoved An Official And Got Away With It
In Major League Baseball making contact with an ump will get you a suspension. The same goes for NBA players who dare touch a ref (just ask Rajon Rondo). In the NFL, though—at least in the Super Bowl—shoving a ref won't even earn you a penalty. Here's Ravens defensive back Cary Williams doing just ...
This Harbaugh Brothers Split Screen Is The Harbaughiest Split Screen Possible
Watch as brothers Jim and John react to the same play—a third down sack of Joe Flacco midway through the first quarter—with characteristically appropriate Harbaugh emotion. Jim: intensity bordering on insanity, and John: mild disappointment. Can you imagine how their father is reacting? Pretty craz...
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Left The Court On A Stretcher With His Neck In A Brace [UPDATE]
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's head collided with teammate Jeff Taylor's knee tonight during a game in Houston, and Kidd-Gilchrist didn't get back up. As the announcers noted, his head didn't hit the floor when he fell, but it's hard not to fear the worst when a player leaves the court partly immobilize...
Pro Football Hall Of Fame Calls Up Sapp, Parcells, Ogden, Allen and Carter
The NFL's next Hall of Fame class, just announced, has a few dudes the TV made famous. There's Bill Parcells, who made a coaching career of winning two Super Bowls with the Giants and then convincing other teams believe he might ever do it again; Cris* Carter, who just proved that even Jerry Rice Li...
Virginia Tech's Kicker Pepper-Sprayed A Buffalo Wild Wings Last Week
"Stuff like this happens," Cody Journell said. And he's right. Who hasn't been in a restaurant pleasantly minding one's business only to have to rush outside all of a sudden because some dipshit suddenly released the trigger on a can of pepper spray? Like Journell said, it happens. He ought to know....
