Lamar Jackson Is Unreal
After accounting for eight touchdowns in the first half against Charlotte last weekend, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson picked up the pace this week against Syracuse and scored three touchdowns within the first five minutes of the game. He added another one later in the first quarter. ...
Look At This Flipping Throw-In Assist
Nothing more American soccer than scoring off of a deep ball throw in....
Today's Shocking Miss Of The Day Comes To You All The Way From Lithuania
My Lithuanian is a little rusty, but I assume that the announcer’s “Oi yoi yoi! Oi yoi yoi!” in response to this Kauno Žalgiris striker missing the unmissible—a completely open net with the keeper yards away from goal—translates to something like: “Jesus Christ, did he really just blow that??? Like,...
Broncos Fullback Scores 28-Yard Touchdown On First Career Carry
A few plays after setting a key block to spring C.J. Anderson for a long run, Broncos rookie Andy Janovich took the very first carry of his career 28 yards into the end zone. Bene Benwikere clearly was not expecting Janovich to get the ball, as he ran in too quickly. Panthers safety Scott Simonson c...
Watch This Gnarly Dude Break The World Skateboarding Speed Record
Until a week ago, the fastest any human had ever gone on a skateboard was 80 MPH. That is fast enough to leave you streaked across a generous stretch of road should you fall, but it was not nearly as mega gnarly as Kyle Wester’s 89.4 MPH shred that he pulled off on August 29....
Dansby Swanson's First Career Dinger Was A Madcap, Inside-The-Park Dash
Dansby Swanson is one of the hottest prospects in Major League Baseball, and he hit the first home run of his career tonight in rather lively fashion. Swanson, whose name is real and not the product of an overly on-the-nose college football head coach name generator, sent a pitch all the way to what...
Quinn Cook Crossed The Soul Out Of This Foolish Child
Former Duke Blue Devil Quinn Cook hasn’t been heard from much since going undrafted in the 2015 NBA draft. He’s been grinding away in the D-League, though, which has kept his skills sharp enough to maim and humiliate basketball campers....

Notre Dame Ties Texas On Blocked PAT
One of this weekend’s wildest games got even stranger when Notre Dame surrendered the lead to Texas on a late touchdown, only to equalize the score when Shaun Crawford returned the Longhorns’ blocked point-after attempt the length of the field for two points....
Evil Spectator Gets Revenge On Bike Race By Causing High-Speed Crash
The Tour Cycliste Antenne Reunion is about as far on the fringes of the cycling world as you can get. While the top of the pro peloton is touring across either Spain or Britain right now and the second division is busy finishing up their seasons in lesser European races, the remote Indian Ocean isla...
Western Michigan Saved By Officials After Mind-Blowingly Stupid Play
Northwestern was driving late to take the lead on Western Michigan, needing only a field goal to gain the advantage on the scoreboard and having first-and-goal to do it. Then, disaster: Clayton Thorson fumbled just as he reached the end zone and WMU’s Davontae Ginwright recovered. Then things got we...
Houston's Brandon Wilson Returns Missed Field Goal 109 Yards For A Touchdown
Third-ranked Oklahoma has its hands full on the road in Houston, and the Cougars made things even worse by returning a missed Sooners field goal the length of the field—with returner Brandon Wilson hurdling his own teammate along the way. It’s 26-17 midway through the third quarter....
Christian McCaffrey Punt Return Called Back, But Is Still A Work Of Art
Heisman favorite Christian McCaffrey is starting this season off with a bang, even if it didn’t actually result in points on the board. Here’s his first-quarter punt return against Kansas State that was brought back for an illegal block penalty; Stanford fans have a lot of reasons to be excited this...
Destin Hood Gets First Career Hit, Immediately Makes Baserunning Blunder
Marlins outfielder Destin Hood is making his major league debut after eight years in the minors, and his parents were in Cleveland to watch him earn his first career hit—and, immediately after that, get tagged out on a baserunning mistake....
Chihuahuas Come Up With Physics-Defying Groundout
I learned a new baseball rule tonight thanks to the Las Vegas 51s and the El Paso Chihuahuas. In the top of the seventh inning, 51s first baseman Eric Campbell fouled one towards the dugout. Thing is, he hit it with such a serious curve that it sliced right back into play before it passed first base...
"Holy Toledo!" Appalachian State Takes 13-3 Lead On Tennessee
Tennessee’s supposed to be good this year—they’re ranked #9 in ESPN’s preseason poll—but their season is off to a slow start as they’ve allowed Appalachian State to jump out to a ten-point first-half lead, thanks here to a 33-yard touchdown catch and run by Marcus Cox. “Holy Toledo!”...

Foolish Baseball, You Cannot Escape Addison Russell
The goddamn Cubs just have everything going for them, you know? A lineup full of great hitters, pitchers with unhittable stuff, and a 22-year-old shortstop who can make game-saving plays like this one:...
