You are unlikely to see as perfect a soccer goal as this for a very, very long time. Cristiano Ronaldo, who's hoarding goals at such a clip it's as if he's trying to make every Spanish soccer fan forget the name Messi forever, finished a natural hat trick against Levante with this shot, his 119t...
Did Dirk Nowitzki Shout "Fucking Faggot" After Hitting The Shot That Locked Up Tonight's Mavericks Win?
We're not entirely sure what it is Dirk Nowitzki shouts after hitting the dagger to ensure tonight's 97-94 double-OT win over Portland, but it sure looks like the same thing that earned Kobe Bryant an unprecedented $100,000 fine last season....
Nantz: Pebble Beach Is The World's Best Golf Course, So You Should Respect Bill Belichick For Playing It
Pebble Beach Golf Links (among the other courses associated with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) is one of the most desired courses on Earth for hackers to play.

"He Should Wear Leather Pants": Metta World Peace Has Some Fashion Advice For Jeremy Lin
Linsanity met some real insanity last night at the Garden.

Jeremy Lin Is Eating Derek Fisher Alive
Jeremy Lin has 18 points at the half of the Knicks' home battle against Los Angeles, and the Lakers' strategy of having Derek Fisher guard the New York sensation isn't working out so well—as you can see with this spin-o-rama drive. Expect Kobe to be be on Lin for the second half in an attempt to ...
One Of Jeremy Lin's Former Unofficial Volunteer High School Coaches Owns A "Linsanity" Website And Now Hopes To Cash In
Linsanity has swept New York City. This much we know. What's harder to fathom is the origin of the term "Linsanity." The big-city tabloids would have you believe their headline writers invented the portmanteau during the last fortnight. Incorrect! The term dates to an earlier era: July 17, 2010. Tha...

Dana White Is "Beyond Disappointed" That Nick Diaz Tested Positive For Pot...Again
Disappointed, yes. Surprised? Hardly. Nick Diaz loves him some weed, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission has busted him for it again.

Watch Maurice Evans Run Away From The Chance To Be On The Jeremy Lin Poster
Yes, Knicks insta-sensation Jeremy Lin shook John Wall with a nasty crossover last night, on his way to a highlight dunk against the Wizards.

How Dare Bill Belichick Golf Pebble Beach Just Four Days After Losing The Super Bowl
Nah, not really. That would be an absurd argument to make, just about as absurd as decreeing Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light can't go party in Indianapolis. It's a slippery slope. How many days after a big loss is it acceptable to have fun? Is a sedate sport like golf more palatable than dancing? How ...
LeBron's Not Going To Apologize For Kendrick Perkins's Hurt Feelings
When LeBron tweeted about Blake Griffin's dunk destruction of Kendrick Perkins, it gave Perk a sad. "You don't see Kobe tweeting," he said. "You don't see Michael Jordan tweeting." You also don't see Kobe or MJ running to the media to complain that someone was mean to them on the internet....
