Here It Is, The Bicycle Kick To End All Bicycle Kicks
That Javi Gómez, of third division Spanish club UD Socuéllamos, managed to score with this insane, volleyed overhead kick is crazy enough.

Is The Longhorn Network Killing The Big 12?
Five years into the grand experiment, and the Longhorn Network is kind of a disaster. It’s losing money hand-over-fist: reportedly $48 million since its launch, with annual losses hovering in the millions.
