Khalil Mack Unleashed The Long Arm Of Destruction Again
The best pass rushers in the game tend to have a signature move. Deacon Jones had his head slap, Dwight Freeney had his ice-pick spin move, and Khalil Mack has his left arm....
LeBron James Is Here
Perhaps it’s a function of the fact that the Lakers started the season with some bad losses, or that he’s been banished to late-night television on the west coast, or that this clip exists, but before last night’s game between the Lakers and Blazers, it felt like LeBron James had yet to put any sort...
Tom Kuhnhackl Scores Backhanded From His Backside
The New York Islanders have an early lead against the Canucks thanks to some backfiring defensive plays by their opponents, the first of which came on a backhanded goal from winger Tom Kuhnhackl....
Jrue Holiday Will Punish You For Worrying About Anthony Davis
The Toronto Raptors came into last night’s home game against the New Orleans Pelicans as the hottest team in the NBA, with a league-best 12-1 record and on a six-game winning streak. They had third-best offense and eighth-best defense in the league, and have done all this with Kawhi Leonard already ...
Dominican Baseball Child Briefly Becomes Superman
Sure, proper sliding technique is all about getting low and trying to beat the tag, but, counterpoint: pretending to be an airplane—like the following baseball child did this weekend in Villa Altagracia, Dominican Republic—is infinitely cooler....
Super Nice Soccer Guy Rewarded For His Compassion With Easiest Goal Of His Life
The next time someone says nice guys finish last, show them this video of Maccabi Petah Tikva striker Habib Habibou tending to a hurt teammate and being gifted with a tap-in because of it, and you will have irrefutably proven the power of good karma:...
Nick Chubb Ran All Over The Falcons For The Longest Play From Scrimmage Of The Season
The Browns are pummeling the Falcons defense this afternoon, and one of the main culprits has been Cleveland running back Nick Chubb. Having already caught a receiving touchdown earlier, Chubb added to the damage by running through a hole, making one man miss, and ripping off a 92-yard rush to the e...
Knockouts Do Not Get More Stunning Or Dramatic Than Yair Rodriguez's Last-Second Blind Elbow
Twenty-four minutes and 58 seconds into his main event fight against Chan Sung “The Korean Zombie” Jung, Yair Rodriguez was losing. If the fight’s final two seconds had elapsed normally, Jung would have probably gotten the decision and re-announced himself to the UFC’s featherweight division by winn...
Even The Cameraman Swooned Over Vince Williams's Pick-Six
The Steelers are enjoying an explosive start to their game against the Panthers tonight, and after a 30-second sequence that saw the teams score a combined 21 points, the excitement proved to be too much for one Fox cameraperson....
The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Tender Parenting Moment
A parent’s job is to create a supportive environment for their kids, giving them the space to make their own mistakes as well as the tools needed to correct them and learn from them. In practical terms, that can occasionally mean pushing your goofus kid in the dirt in order to teach them how to stop...
Zion Williamson Lived Up To The Hype
Last night, after what feels like decades of consuming Zion Williamson’s high school highlights and watching a few instances of him beating up on hapless Canadians, we finally got to see what the freshman can do against real D-I competition. What he can do is really fuck some people up....
Was Anyone Even <i>Trying</i> To Stop Neal Pionk On This Goal?
This goal looks straight out of a movie. In a 4-on-4 with under three minutes to go in a tie game, a little-known defenseman—in this case New York Rangers kid Neal Pionk—takes the puck from behind his own net and just ... continues with it until he scores the game-winner. It shouldn’t be possible in...
Nothing Can Stop Elias Pettersson Right Now
The hottest teen in the NHL is currently playing for the Vancouver Canucks, and his name is Elias Pettersson. The 19-year-old undersized center out of Sweden is absolutely crushing it at the start of his rookie year in the NHL, and tonight against the Red Wings, he opened the scoring with a murderou...
Goddamn, Vince Carter's Still Got It
Without context, this slam from Vince Carter is nothing too special. The highlight itself likely wouldn’t even crack the Top 100 of VC’s 725 career throwdowns. But the fact that he’s still doing this after two decades of NBA basketball is something incredible to behold....
Kyrie Irving Sees Your Shammgod, Raises One Bonkers Off-The-Knee Inside-Out Dribble
I am guessing we will not see Omri Casspi attempt this anytime soon. In fact, Kyrie Irving might be the only active NBA player with the skill and guts and latitude to pull this out in a tied regular season road game:...
Jamal Murray Made Some Celtics Salty By Shamelessly Gunning For 50
Celtics-Nuggets was very, very fun. Kyrie Irving was cooking. Jamal Murray was cooking. No one else really had it, and so the game became a cook-off between two sublime shot-makers. Murray got the better of the matchup, exploding for a career-high 48 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, to ca...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Boomed The Kings To Hell
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is LeBron now, put up what might have been his most LeBron-ish box score of the season during last night’s 144-109 win over the Kings. The big ol’ freak was plus-39 in his 30 minutes on the court, and he finished with a 25-12-11 triple-double on 8-of-11 shooting. Sparkling...
This Malcolm Brown Touchdown Catch Is An Unreal Feat Of Body Control
This twinkle-toed touchdown reception by Rams running back Malcolm Brown, in which he somehow manages to dodge two onrushing Saints defenders and keep his feet inbounds despite having to do it all with just a sliver of grass between him, them, and the sideline, is just incredible....
High School Football Team Redeems Itself With A Crazy Comeback One Year After Late-Game Collapse<em></em>
Last year, Minnesota high school St. Michael-Albertville made news when they gagged up a huge late lead by letting Maple Grove score 19 points in the game’s final 59 seconds. On Friday, STMA found redemption by pulling off a wild fourth-quarter comeback of their own that featured three consecutive o...
Roger Federer Put This Serve Directly Into The Garbage Can
Roger Federer has cut an unusual path into the fourth round at Paris: he played just two sets of tennis to get there. He had a first-round bye, then second-round opponent Milos Raonic withdrew from the tournament, and then he defeated the sleepy pirate Fabio Fognini, 6-4, 6-3. So all of a sudden, a ...
