Michael Carter-Williams, Professed Non-Tanker, Tanks

FC Zurich Initiates Legal Proceedings Over Horror Tackle
If you're the squeamish sort, I highly suggest you do not watch the above video.

Man Utd Legend Asks City Fan Noel Gallagher To Sign Guitar, Gets Trolled

Two Fumbles In Final Moments Doom No. 3 Auburn
Auburn, so routinely a team of preposterous miracles, has just managed to bumble its way to a come-from-behind loss tonight at Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the Tigers hadn't lost since 2012.
