Georgia Tech Student Gives Most Impassioned Welcome Speech Ever
This dude right here is named Nicholas Selby, and he has more school spirit than you. This is evidenced by the fact that he welcomed Georgia Tech's incoming freshman class by screaming at them like a lunatic for nearly two minutes, hoping to inspire them toward greatness. He says a lot of inspiring...

Jayson Werth Reacts To Super-Slow Pitch As If He Saw A Ghost
By the time Jayson Werth came to the plate in the fifth, he had already homered, and the Nationals had already chased Cubs starter Jake Arrieta.

Sorry, But You Have To Do More Than "Want It"

Mario Balotelli Dunks Thing
Did you know that Mario Balotelli can dunk a basketball? He's a 6-foot-2 professional athlete, so it shouldn't be all that surprising that he can throw it down, but this is still a rather impressive display. I think this dunk may even qualify as a rim-rattler....

A Catcher Pitched To A Pitcher Last Night, And It Was Great
Last night's Dodgers-Cardinals game was well out of hand by the ninth inning, so fans were treated to one of baseball's rarest joys: a position player taking the mound for some mop-up duty.

Whether you think a jeer of "Eat more chicken!" directed at Tiger Woods as he teed off at the 13th hole of Saturday's third round of the Bridgestone Invitational was racist or merely viral and awful Chick-Fil-A marketing (Update: Duh, it's "LEEROY JENKINS!"), it wasn't nearly as good as what Tiger d...
