Luis Suárez Just Scored The Goal Of The Season From 40 Yards Out
Note: Luis Suarez does not "lob" the keeper here when he scores here from eons away on the half volley. This is a flat out smash of a shot. And it was just the first. Suarez scored again in the 29th and 35th minutes, for a first half hat trick against Norwich. Plus, he added a screamer of a free kic...
No Team Can Mount A Comeback Quite Like The Warriors Can
The Golden State Warriors found themselves down 27 points to the Toronto Raptors with 9:20 left in the third quarter last night. They ended up winning the game by nine points, because when the Warriors decide to go nuclear, there is no stopping them....
Nuggets Announcer Praises Timofey Mozgov's "One Hand Jobby"
Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov had a fantastic game last night, finishing with 17 points and 20 rebounds against the band of desiccated corpses that currently makes up the Nets roster. But none of Mozgov's points were as impressive as the two he scored here, after executing a smooth "one hand jobby."...
The Badassest Rookie Linebacker The NFL Has Ever Seen
I was never a Bears fan, although I do admire the uniform — orange, black and white together just feels football-y, somehow — and I bawled like a crazy person while reading I Am Third and again while watching Brian's Song. (Damn you, James Caan. Damn you to tearjerking hell.) But recently I came acr...
Adorable Dog On The Pitch Adorably Interrupts Field Hockey Game
England played Germany during pool play today at the Argentina World League final when ... aw, look at that! What a cute doggie! Such a cute doggie! She just wants to play! Look at her go! She's free! She's free and she loves it! That's a good girl! Such a good girl! Who wants a belly rub! You do, d...
Elderly Chargers Fan Dances A Disgusting Dance
This is a mess. Just terrible. It starts off innocently enough but about 15 seconds in, it becomes apparent that this elderly Chargers fan in a Nick Hardwick jersey (and bluetooth earpiece) is either having a stroke or is Hedo Rick's long-lost father. ...
Appalachian State's New Logo Might Have Been Drawn By A Child
At gunpoint, I'd say the guy on the left was a sea captain, or maybe the Gorton's Fisherman. With Appalachian State moving up to the FBS next season, they needed something a little more evocative of "mountaineer." So they're switching to the guy on the right, presumably after an intense design compe...

How Mike Glennon And The Tampa Bay Bucs (Sort Of) Stopped Sucking
Remember when the dysfunctional Buccaneers were an 0-8 dumpster fire fueled by MRSA and ineptitude? Greg Schiano and his Men have somehow won three straight, with some legitimate play from both sides of the ball—especially rookie quarterback/intrepid middle schooler Mike Glennon. Which leaves us wit...
BC's Andre Williams Runs Like He's Got A Super Mario Invincibility Star
Boston College running back Andre Williams leads all FBS running backs with 2073 rushing yards, good for an average of 6.5 yards per carry. The senior's a potential Heisman finalist, and to help his case, someone put together a video of him bowling over opponents to the Starman music from the Super...
