Gerald Green Hammers A Lob On Kenneth Faried's Head
Without Kenneth Faried's defensive effort, the degree of difficulty on this alley-oop would not have been nearly as high as it is, so we thank him for doing his part to create a great NBA highlight. But, man, Faried should probably stop jumping near former slam dunk contest winners....

We've seen this in luge before, but it's another thing entirely when you're headed down the Sanki Sliding Centre headfirst.

Erik Karlsson And Mike Green Hug Amid The On-Ice Chaos
This was from Tuesday, but it's still as cute as it was two days ago. While Mikhail Grabovski and Zack Smith tried to rip each other's faces off during the Senators-Capitals game, Ottawa's Erik Karlsson and Washington's Mike Green shared a lovely moment. (Wait for the last replay.)...

Colin Kaepernick Is Cold-Blooded
Colin Kaepernick forgot to strap on his wristband with his team's plays when he took the field for the second half, forcing the 49ers to burn a timeout.
