Who would have expected a smart play from the punter of an Ivy League school? You should all be shocked....
Marshall Escapes Doom Twice, Scores Wild Tip-Drill Touchdown
Marshall's undefeated, though you wouldn't know it by watching ESPN or listening to the college football playoff committee. You don't get to that kind of record without some luck, though, and that's what the Thundering Herd had on this play against UAB today when Rakeem Cato somehow escaped a sack, ...
11-Year-Old Japanese Hockey Wunderkind Is The Truth
The kid dangling and destroying the competition above is Aito Iguchi, an 11-year-old who plays for Japan's Saitama Junior Warriors. Truthers out there are dismissing his skills, arguing that Japan doesn't develop quality hockey players, there are a million 11-year-old Canadian kids that good, his sk...
Man City Goal The Product Of Perfect Execution
Yaya Touré put Man City up 2-1 thanks to this gorgeous play in which everything worked to perfection....
Dion Waiters Goes For Dunk, Gets Destroyed, Is Terrible
Millennial Dion Waiters stinks and is bad; tonight against the Wizards, he tried to dunk on Kevin Seraphin and got stoned—with both hands!—directly to hell. My favorite part is Jon Barry and Mike Breen both initially assuming it must have been a foul, before watching the replay and realizing, yep, ...
Joakim Noah Has No Patience For Your Goddamn Flopping
The Chicago Bulls played without Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol last night, and got rolled by Boogie Cousins and the Kings as a result. They kept it close through the first half, but the game started to slip away from them in the third quarter, at which point Joakim Noah decided that he'd just had it wi...
Some Good Rugby Here
Reader Eric, who presumably keeps up on his rugby union better than I do, sends along this video of the five nominees for the IRPA try of the year. They're all pretty impressive! I couldn't do them, at least. ...
Watch Jason Kidd Play Mind Games With Joe Johnson
This is a cool moment from last night's triple-OT thriller between the Bucks and Nets. Just before the last possession of the second overtime, cameras caught Bucks (and former Nets) head coach Jason Kidd going at the Nets' huddle with some well-timed chirping....
Solomon Hill Turns Air Ball Into Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
The Pacers snatched an 88-86 victory away from the Hornets last night, and they did it with an unlikely buzzer-beater that was equal parts hilarious incompetence and impressive determination....
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Dunks Over 7'6" Mamadou N'Diaye
UC-Irvine's Mamadou N'Diaye is Division I's tallest basketball player at seven feet, six inches tall. Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson dunked over him tonight....
Iman Shumpert Throws Down Nasty Reverse Dunk In The Greek Freak's Face
The Knicks lost 117-113 to the Bucks last night, and at one point trailed Milwaukee by 26 points. They made a little run in the fourth quarter, though, and when Iman Shumpert rinsed Giannis Antetokounmpo with this reverse jam, cutting the lead to four, it felt like the Knicks were about to win the d...
Angry Ram Makes Mincemeat Out Of Punching Bag
The first 1:45 of this video is solid YouTube material. An angry ram (named, appropriately, Angry Ram) repeatedly ramming a punching bag is pretty entertaining to watch. But then Angry Ram absolutely murders the punching bag and makes you realize you had just been watching Mildly Unhappy Ram, not ...
Buzzer-Beating Alley-Oop Sends Game To Overtime
UMass just finished up a 77-68 victory over Manhattan, but not before Manhattan's Emmy Andujar and Rich Williams pulled off one of the coolest buzzer-beaters you will see all year....
Half-Court Shot Bounces Off Top Of Backboard, Goes In
This kid from Gonzaga won $500 for doing something nobody on Earth could do again on purpose. Seems like it should be worth more than that?...
"That's A Facial!": EMU's Karrington Ward Throws Down Huge Dunk
I am not going to overdo the hyperbole and say that this dunk is a MUST SEE or watching it will BLOW YOUR MIND or Oakland University's Kahlil Felder got DESTROYED. No, this is just a pretty cool dunk with a very emphatic call, and you'll probably enjoy spending 30 seconds watching it. ...
Desperation Lateral Wins High School Playoff Game
The scene: overtime of Saturday's Minnesota state class 3A semifinal game, with Rochester Lourdes opting against a tying PAT in favor of a do-or-die two point conversion. RB Carter Greguson takes a handoff up the middle—and gets stuffed. But!...
The Eagles Just Can't Tackle Eddie Lacy
I mean, they tried. They really did try....
Odell Beckham Jr. Makes Circus Catch, But All For Naught
It's really a shame Odell Beckham Jr. went to all the work required to bring in this catch, because the Giants went and turned the ball over instead of scoring anyway....
