Gregor Blanco Fall Down, Go Boom, Still Makes It To Third Base
Gregor Blanco has just 27 stolen bases in some 271 career games, so we wouldn't say that he's necessarily known for his speed on the basepaths....
Fredy Montero's Long-Range Strike Is A Worthy Response To Yesterday's Cissé Golazo
We brought you a highlight yesterday of what's probably the best goal scored in European soccer this season, and it was almost as if a reply that Major League Soccer brought its own "you can only do that in a video game" highlight stateside last evening. Fitting, then, that it was Fredy Montero of...
Matt Hendricks's Hit On Ryan McDonagh Was Playoff Hockey At Its Best
We say it all the time: the Stanley Cup Playoffs are the best postseason in sports. Tonight's Capitals-Rangers game is headed to the second overtime, a fitting outcome in this year's OT-happy postseason, but the extended game hasn't dialed down any of the intensity....
Papiss Cissé Enters His Bid For Premiership Goal Of The Season
Newcastle won its first match at Stamford Bridge since 1986 with a shocker of a 2-0 victory over Chelsea, keyed by Papiss Cissé's two goals—the second of which is a strong challenger to Peter Crouch for EPL goal of the season....
Joakim Noah, Ankle-Breaking Point Man
The Bulls' first game without Derrick Rose was a dud—they lost Game 2 to the Sixers by 17—but for one, brief moment, Joakim Noah left poor Thaddeus Young in a heap with this fake crossover and kick-out....
Padres Fan With Arm In Sling Catches Foul Ball With Other Hand
What's more impressive is that he actually tips it to himself. [MLB]...
Today In Free Kicks: Kyle Walker, Young-Pyo Lee Produced Two Of The Most Gorgeous Goals You'll Ever See
The past 20 hours have been outstanding for fans of set pieces, as two beautiful free kick goals found the net and proved decisive in their respective games. Spurs back Kyle Walker secured victory for his squad in their match this morning against Blackburn with the above strike, a curving weasel o...
Bryce Harper Has His First Major League Hit, Possibly Because Dodgers Fans Were Mooning Their Own Pitcher
Nationals rookie Bryce Harper doubled in his third MLB at-bat, giving him his first hit in the majors. More importantly, though, it happened as some fans behind home plate had their bare asses out and pointing toward the mound. Why? I don't know. Does it matter? No. [PRIME]...
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. We use the words "ridiculous" and "stupid" here unironically. For him to take this shot with an nearly open pitch in front of him (and teammate St...
Rajon Rondo, Magnificent Weirdo, Makes Every Tip-Off A Show
Thank you, anonymous YouTube user and presumed Celtics fan (Update: This guy!) who a) noticed that Rajon Rondo adds a stylish little tweak when he corrals the opening tip of every game, and b) put together a video compilation of some of this season's best. It's the showmanship of the pre-game rout...
Jay Bruce Homers, Child Naps, Guy Drops Ball While Holding Napping Child
Yeah, she's asleep. ... Shhh. ... No, it's OK. I can hold her. ... Shhh. ... Nice day, huh? ... [crack] ... Oh, wow. Hey, hun. Look out! It's coming this way! ... [grunts, stands up] ... YOU be careful! This ball's coming right at us! I GOT THIS! ... I just have to ... [adjusts grip on child, reach...
Watch This 28-Year-Old Latvian Pull Off An Insane Basketball Shot
Look, I don't know for a fact that 28-year-old Armands Skele of BC Kalev/Cramo Tallinn grew up idolizing one J.R. Rider, but this insane three-pointer from last night conjures up some "Play of the Decade" memories for those of a certain age....
High School Pitcher Throws Rare "Perfect" Perfect Game
Looking out across the Taxonomy of Single Perfect Game Excellence, you'd find the only feat rarer than throwing a perfect game is a "perfect" perfect game: No batter reaches base and every out is recorded by strikeout. That's a club that Kate Upton wouldn't let Philip Humber into, but she would let ...
The Best College Football Play Of The Year May Have Happened In A D2 Scrimmage
The Lincoln University (Mo.) Blue Tigers need to work on their social media outreach. Sure it's a Division II school, and it's a spring scrimmage, but here's this YouTube video, and we have no clue which Lincoln player to credit with a full front flip over the defender. (Edit: Martee? He's not o...
Tony Allen's Fake Pass Was Some Harlem Globetrotter-Type Ish
Tony Allen grabbed a Grizzlies franchise record eight steals in a win over Cleveland last night, but outstanding defensive play is boring. We prefer Tony the Showman, faking out absolutely no one with a slick whiff on the full-court pass. Yeah, he might have kicked the ball for the steal, and yeah...
Philip Humber Has Pitched Major League Baseball's 21st Perfect Game Of The Modern Era
Journeyman pitcher Philip Humber joined the list of hurlers to have completed pitching's most difficult feat when he shut down the Seattle Mariners and led his Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 win at Safeco with a nine-strikeout perfect game, the modern era's 21st....
Diamondbacks Fan Catches Foul Ball, Does Not Drop Pizza
This happened Monday night, but it was only brought to our attention today. Let's blame the fact that the Pirates were playing. Anyway, just throw it in the pile with all those other videos of guys catching foul balls while holding a baby or a cup of beer, while one of the announcers cracks wise a...
Prince Fielder Steals A Base, Doesn't Need Oxygen Afterward, Maybe
It's pretty obvious Royals lefty Jonathan Sanchez never thought Prince Fielder would bother to run, let alone actually make it to second, which is no doubt why Fielder figured he could take off on Sanchez's first move. And look at him go! It's actually the 17th stolen base of Fielder's career—he h...
Chris Young's Hustle Earns Him A DL Trip
Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young flung himself into the Chase Field wall to corral Pedro Alvarez's long fly. X-rays were negative, but an MRI today showed...something. Young is on the DL with what's only being called a "shoulder contusion," and the D-Backs didn't even win the game. The lesson her...
Tony Parker's Crossover Of Ramon Sessions Is So Good, Sessions's Teammate Applauds
Parker goes from left to right so quickly, Sessions is left with an instant to wonder what happened before he makes a too-late attempt to recover. But what about Jordan Hill, in the headband on the Lakers' bench? Parker's move also seems to fake him into cheering for the wrong team....
