David Ross Celebrates Dinger By Slapping Dongers<em></em>
Old Man David Ross is playing in the final major-league game of his career tonight, and he smacked a big solo home run off Andrew Miller in the sixth inning to give the Cubs a three-run lead....
Sixers And Hornets Give Up, Decide To Just Sort Of Flail Everywhere<em></em>
We’ve brought you a lot of dumb basketball lately, but good lord, this here sequence from the Sixers and Hornets is the worst offense yet. ...
Fast Break Reinvented
One time I was playing basketball and I fell and my shorts came off somehow. That’s about as bad as what happened to Sam Dekker here, or more accurately, what Sam Dekker did to himself....
Dexter Fowler Starts Game 7 With A Leadoff Donger
Corey Kluber is starting for the third time in the past nine days, and he gave up a dinger to Dexter Fowler on his fourth pitch of the evening. Fowler wasn’t sure it’d clear the fence but he rounded second and yelled backwards at the Cubs dugout after the dinger fell....
Zinedine Zidane's Kid Gave Up A Dumb Own Goal
This here’s Luca Zidane. He’s the teenage son of Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and he plays keeper for Real Madrid’s youth team. They played Legia Warsaw today, just like their senior side, and Zidane gave up a dumbass own goal in stoppage time....
I Have No Idea How Braden Holtby Didn't Allow A Goal Here
The Capitals beat the Jets 3-2 thanks to Jay Beagle’s goal of his own faceoff win with 30 seconds left, but the star was goalie Braden Holtby, who made 43 saves. Four or five of them came on this one sequence:...
At Least Jason Heyward Can Still Play Some Defense
It wasn’t so long ago that watching Jason Heyward play baseball was one of the more thrilling experiences the game had to offer. It’s easy to say that about a guy who plays all-world defense in the outfield and knocks the crap out of the ball at the plate, but the 2016 version of Heyward is not that...
Rudy Gay's Game-Winning Attempt Missed Everything But His Teammate's Head
Rudy Gay had 30 points and 12 boards in a valiant loss for the Sacramento Kings down in Miami tonight. The team can take heart in their near-win against an Eastern Conference playoff team on the road. They can not, however, find much to like about the last play of regulation. Gay got the rock, fired...
Let's Check In On Joakim Noah And The Knicks
The Knicks traveled to play fellow mediocre-ish Eastern Conference squad Detroit this evening, and Joakim Noah did this. Turns out, a shitty Vine of someone’s TV is the perfect way to show you this “highlight.”...
Cleveland Gifted A Few Runs To Chicago With Some Dumbass Defense
It was a perfectly normal, albeit disappointing, first-inning development when Josh Tomlin followed up two quick outs by laying an easy curveball for Kris Bryant to jerk out of the ballpark. Much less normal, however, was the way the Indians gave up their next two runs to the Cubs....
Aaron Gordon Got In Some Mid-Game Dunk Contest Practice
Aaron Gordon got robbed at the Slam Dunk Contest last season, and this evening, he got in some early prep for his 2017 run at the title. In the first quarter of the Magic’s game against the Sixers, he robbed Richaun Holmes blind then pulled off a two-handed 360 on the breakaway....
Ray Allen Paved The Way
Ray Allen hasn’t played in an NBA game since July 2014, but the 41-year-old shooting guard was not officially retired until this morning, when he announced his exit from the NBA in an essay published on The Players’ Tribune....

Pitt Runs Tackle-Around For Fat Guy Touchdown
Pitt tied up Virginia Tech tonight with another touchdown by offensive tackle Brian O’Neill. The 300-pounder took a backward pass to the end zone earlier this year against Georgia Tech, and tonight took a forward handoff—we called this the Revolving Door Play back where I come from—for a five-yard t...
Boy, <i>Thursday Night Football</i> Is The Best, Isn't It?
We are blessed by the NFL’s benevolence in its grace to provide us the finest professional football every Thursday night. We aren’t worthy of witnessing the incredible talents of the Jacksonville Jaguars weekly—let alone in such a showcase as Thursday Night Football....
Vine Was The Best Highlight Delivery Machine Imaginable
As the internet mutates, so does the way we consume highlights of sick slams, huge homers, and stuff that happens in football. If YouTube killed SportsCenter and GIFs closed the casket, then Vine danced on its grave....
Anthony Davis Will Show No Mercy
The Pelicans were supposed to be last year’s surprise Western Conference playoff debutante, but instead, injuries and incompetence stripped them of their chance and they pooped out an utterly forgettable 30-win season. Worst of all, Anthony Davis stagnated, got shut down in March with an injury, and...
The Mavericks And Pacers Set Basketball Back A Few Decades On This Sequence
The NBA is back, which means it’s time for cool highlights, like dunks, blocks, and Charles Barkley’s bad takes. But none of those live up to the majesty and splendor of, uh, whatever this is....
