Luis Suarez Finished A Hat Trick With An Unbelievably Stupid Shot From Just Past Midfield
Liverpool striker and alleged racist Luis Suarez capped off a hat trick against Norwich City today with a ridiculous, stupid strike from 45 yards out.

Scott Hairston did that cool and meaningless thing where a player gets all the different kinds of hits possible in one game.
