Adoree' Jackson's Skills Include Soaring Over Italian Kickers<em></em>

Dante Pettis Breaks Pac-12 Record With Seventh Career Punt Return TD
Washington wideout Dante Pettis knocked DeSean Jackson off the Pac-12 record charts when his 67-yard return gave him his seventh career touchdown off a punt. It’s quite the show, too....
Thus Begins The Thrilling, Terrifying Neymar-Mbappé-Cavani Era
Today marked Paris Saint-Germain’s official unveiling of what should prove to be a legendary (and is already legendarily expensive) forward line of Neymar (€222 million), Kylian Mbappé (€180 million), and Edinson Cavani (€63 million). And while the team naturally doesn’t have the tactical gears tick...
Petra Kvitova's Drop Shot Was Ruthless
Tuesday’s quarterfinal collision between two great storylines—Venus Williams still rolling through Slams at age 37, and Petra Kvitova returning to the tour from a knife attack that severely injured her playing hand—grew tense in the third set, and perhaps peaked with this one shot, a highlight of th...
Willian's Volleyed Banger Puts Brazil Up On Colombia
Brazil and Colombia are playing right now in what will hopefully be tonight’s only competitive World Cup qualifying match, and Willian—owner of the sporting world’s best afro since Randy Moss’s—thumped the snot out of the ball en route to scoring this beauty:...
Alex Gordon Turns Mikie Mahtook's Redemption Dinger Into A Spectacular Out
Poor Mikie Mahtook. Yesterday he swatted a loose ball over the outfield wall, creating one of the oddest, most hilarious dingers you will ever see. Today his own dinger, inches away from glory, was ripped back into the field of play by Royals outfielder Alex Gordon:...
Sergio Garcia Smashed His Putter In Anger, Then Sank A Birdie Putt Using A 3-Wood
Yesterday, during the third round at TPC Boston, Sergio Garcia lined up an eagle putt on the par-four fourth hole, and just blew it. His putt wound up a good 13 feet from the hole, far enough away that Garcia was really, really pissed. So pissed, in fact, that he smashed the absolute bejeezus out of...
John Wall Sent Comedian Lil Duval To A Very Dark Place
Ball Is Life has been following John Wall around this offseason, mostly to some workouts and a bunch of pro-am contests involving a couple NBA guys playing against a bunch of brave randos. One such contest was Ludacris’s LudaDay Weekend Celebrity Basketball Game, held yesterday at Morehouse Forbes A...
Marc Gasol's Slick Passing Is A Delight In Any Competition
Spain’s wonderful Gasol-led national team today took on a Czech Republic squad that was distressingly overpowered given the presence of Wizards’ backup and future All-NBA guard Tomas Satoransky. This was a Eurobasket group stage match, played in Romania....
Keon Broxton Saved The Game With This Catch
The Brewers salvaged a series split with the Cardinals, and crawled back to within three games of a wild card spot, and they have Keon Broxton to thank. The outfielder made a leaping catch at the wall in dead center to save what might’ve been a go-ahead two-run home run and seal a 6-5 win....
Chris Sale Made Some People Look Very Stupid
Chris Sale pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays last night, and he struck out 11 batters in seven innings in a 3-0 win. “Struck out 11 batters” doesn’t quite describe what happened on that field, though. It’s more accurate to say that Sale demoralized 11 batters....
Kevin Pillar Takes Flight Once Again
The most captivating defensive wizards tend to have a signature move: Javy Baez has his tags, Manny Machado has his rocket throws from foul territory, Andrelton Simmons has, uh, everything. Last night, Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar dusted off his signature defensive highlight, a full-speed, ...
Look, A Punter Highlight
Punters: Are they cool now? Marquette King and the recently retired Pat McAfee have spent the last few seasons trying to convince us that they are, and now they have the support of Bengals punter Kevin Huber....
The Phillies Pulled Off An Ultra-Rare Triple Play This Afternoon
If there’s one thing baseball needs more of, it’s inside-the-park dingers. If there’s a second thing baseball needs more of, it’s mascots racing everyday jamokes around the warning track. But if there’s a third thing baseball needs more of, surely it is the triple play. The Phillies turned a delight...
Rajon Rondo Threw A Successful Alley-Oop Off His Own Head
Some Kentucky all-timers participated in an alumni game at Rupp Arena yesterday. The rosters were cool—Rex Chapman and Tony Delk were on the same side as Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles—and the action seems to have taken the form of your basic All-Star game: very little defense, lots of fancy pass...
Gylfi Sigurdsson Drops In A Goal From The Heavens
Oh man, this is some way to introduce yourself to your new fans. In only his second appearance for Everton, Gylfi Sigurdsson has just scored this insane blast from the middle of the park against Hajduk Split in a Europa League qualifying match:...

Little League Center Fielder Makes Superhuman Dinger-Robbing Catch
Jack Regenye is an outfielder for Kennett Square, the East Region team in the Junior League World Series, going on right now in Taylor, Michigan. He is also very certainly a Kryptonian, and thus has an unfair advantage when playing against human children here on Earth....
