Wow, Maybe Roberto Soldado Doesn't Suck Anymore!
Well would you look at that! Roberto Soldado—once renowned for his uncanny ability to get goals without ever looking all that impressive doing so, now more famous as the world’s second-biggest bottler (behind fellow Spaniard Fernando Torres) stemming from his terrible stint with Tottenham—is back in...
Mets Daniel Murphy And Carlos Torres Combine For A Stupid, Awesome Play
Mets first baseman Daniel Murphy and pitcher Carlos Torres teamed up for the unusual 1-3-1 groundout in Thursday night’s game against the Phillies. And it all started with a Jeff Francoeur ground ball....
Reminder: Paul Goldschmidt Is Very Good
There’s a good chance you haven’t seen much of Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt over the last few seasons, despite the fact that he’s one of the best hitters in baseball. If Goldschmidt’s in your blindspot, don’t feel too bad, that’s just what happens when a guy plays in Arizona for a tea...
Pablo Sandoval Makes Great, Hilarious Catch
Pablo Sandoval is having a pretty terrible year, which is sad because he’s one of my favorite players in the league. When he’s good, he’s a slapstick artist who just happens to be blessed with the ability to sock dingers and play a slick third base. Anyway, given how bad he’s been this year, it was ...
These Two Petr Čech Saves Are The Best Saves
Arsenal are hosting Liverpool today in the Premier League, and through one half, the Gunners look like complete and utter bullcrap against the visitors. It’s remarkable how many players in Arsenal’s starting XI appear to be betting against their team on the same day. And yet—and yet!— it’s still sco...
This Dunk Contest Is Extremely Good Shit
The thing about dunk contests is that they are always better when the participants are amateur ballers, because instead of worrying about things like defensive rotations and jump shooting, they can just sit around and think up awesome dunks all day. ...
No One Loves Anything More Than This Ballboy Loves His Soccer Team
Salutations, my savages. What we have here is a match between Wycombe and Dag & Red in England’s League Two. It finished 1-1, and appeared to have been a hard-fought, good and fun contest between two bad and earnest teams. But that’s not why we have gathered around this blog on this wonderful day....
A Good Ballboy
Being a ballboy or ballgirl is a high-risk proposition. The only way they’re getting on TV is if they do something really cool or really embarrassing, and considering that most of them aren’t pro athletes, the embarrassing outcomes are the most likely. Such is not the case for this ballboy, though:...

Little League World Series Kid Gives Up Grand Slam, Doesn't Care
See, Mekhi Garrard gets it. This is what youth sports are about. Fuck winning. It’s all about hanging with your buddies and having a laugh, even if it’s at Cole Wagner rocking you for a grand slam to put the final touches on an 18-0 demolition job....
Holy Shit, Marco Matias
This goal’s unreal. Sheffield Wednesday forward Marco Matias performs some kind of telekinesis to score a massive goal in today’s match against Leeds United in the Championship, and we’re confident that if a better highlight happens today it’ll have to be a real dick-shitter....
Kim Little Finishes Hat Trick By Making Mincemeat Of Houston Defense
Kim Little had all three goals in tonight’s Seattle win over Houston, and her final one in the 90th minute was a Messian work of art as the Scot sliced and diced a tired Dash defense....
Little Leaguer Blasts Homer While Mom Is Doing Live ESPN Interview
South Carolina’s Terrence Gist hammered a ball way out of the park in his team’s Little League World Series game against Rhode Island today—just as ESPN was sitting down with his mom for a live interview. The pandering LLWS broadcasts can be awful at times, but maybe it’s worth it for moments like t...
Marcell Ozuna Dings One Off The Top Of The Foul Pole
The Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-7 tonight in a pretty-fun game between pretty-terrible teams. The coolest part was when Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run home run that plunked directly on top the crown of the left field foul pole....
Borussia Dortmund Go Down Three Goals, Shrug, Score Four, Win
Once-great, now-good lunchpail German side Borussia Dortmund opened up their Europa League campaign away to some team from Norway aptly named Odds BK. August NIT games don’t impress us much, especially against teams from Norway, but Odds came out and scored 13 seconds into the dang match!...
Jason Williams Will Never Stop Doing Cool Stuff On The Basketball Court
It’s been nearly a year since we last checked in on White Chocolate, who is once again strutting his stuff at the Orlando Pro Am. Williams is 39 now, and I fully expect these highlight reels to keep popping up until he is 50. ...
Jason Day Wins PGA Championship, Is Probably Still Crying
Jason Day held off Jordan Spieth to win this weekend’s PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, seizing his first major after finishing three times as a runner-up—and doing it in record-setting fashion....
Pete Carroll Gets Mowed Down By Referee
In the second quarter of last night’s Broncos-Seahawks preseason opener, Tyler Lockett broke off a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The Seahawks drafted Lockett, who led all FBS players in yards per punt return in 2014, to break off big returns like this and they were understandably pumped w...
San José Opens Supercopa Scoring With Strike From Midfield
Athletic Bilbao took a surprising 1-0 lead on Barcelona in today’s first leg of the Spanish Supercopa with San José catching Marc-Andre ter Stegen off his line after an attempted clearance and launching a strike from inside the center circle....
Wiffle Ball Player Invents New Way To Rob A Home Run
Here’s some shit you might not know: serious wiffle ball players are secretly America’s greatest athletes. If you don’t believe me, just go ahead and start the video above....
