The Jets' New Special Teams Coach Once Got Doinked On The Head By A Botched Snap
Before there was the buttfumble, there was this, from 1993: Jets holder Louie Aguiar hilariously getting knocked in the head by a Roger Duffy snap on an attempted field goal.

Danilo Gallinari's Circus Shot Sealed A Crazy Nuggets Win
Oh you know, just your standard fast-break, flip-the-ball-behind-your-head-from-below-your-hip-while-getting-fouled layup that hits every part of the rim before gently falling through the net. Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari somehow managed to pull off this shot in the final minute of last night'...
Liverpool Could Score Only Once Against A Goalkeeper Trying To Give Up Goals
When Europol announced it had found evidence of 680 matches that might have been fixed by gamblers, investigators teased us with the good stuff.

Old Dominion fired head basketball coach Blaine Taylor today following last night's loss to George Mason that dropped the Monarchs to a very un-regal 2-20 record on the season.

The A's adopted the Bernie Lean as their rally dance last year, and it seems to have been worked.
