Paula Creamer Wins Tournament With A Miracle 75-Foot Putt
Paula Creamer won the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore today by nailing a 75-foot putt on the second play-off hole against Azahara Munoz. Her celebration after sinking the putt was equally great....
24 Light Beers, Ranked
Raise your hand if you're even fatter now than you were on New Year's Day. No, your other hand, the one that isn't strangling a donut. Oh, I see. Well, do you have a third hand? Never mind, the tear tracks carved through your powdered-sugar beard are affirmation enough....
Tim Thomas Makes Outstanding Save After Falling On His Ass
OK, Panthers goalie Tim Thomas deserves some crap for falling over in the first place in front of Mike Green's breakaway, but man, he recovered for an excellent save. Green's also an enabler for not aiming anywhere at the roughly 80% of open net....
Phil Esposito On Callahan-St. Louis Trade Rumor: "What A Bunch Of Shit"
Earlier this week, Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Esposito appeared on a Toronto-based sports talk show and went on an epically uncensored rant about a trade rumor concerning the two captains of the Rangers and Lightning. While on "Next Sports Star," Esposito sounded off on Larry Brooks of the New York ...
Carl Crawford's Slide Is Still In Offseason Form
Hey, it's early. He's still got plenty of time to work out the kinks....
Watch This Guard Pull Off A Ridiculous In-Game, Between-The-Legs Dunk
This is Snap Peters. Aside from having one of the greatest names in college basketball, Snap is a 6-foot-2 guard who plays for Talladega College. He can jump really, really high. The gem below is of our boy Snap pulling off an in-game, between-the-legs dunk against Fisk University on Monday night. I...
Josh Reddick Steals Two Home Runs
I don't even really care how spectacular A's outfielder Josh Reddick's two grabs—both robbing Michael Morse of home runs—were. It's just damn good to see baseball highlights again....
Gareth Bale And Cristiano Ronaldo Swiss-Cheesed Schalke's Defense
Hey, stupid Real Madrid fans: can we stop pretending like Gareth Bale isn't still the great player Madrid thought they were buying? Today's complete demolishment of Schalke in the Champions League has to finally shut you guys up, right?...
Jan Vesely Appears To Believe He Is Guarded By Ghosts
The day we lost Andrea Bargnani for the season was a very sad day, because it meant we would no longer be able to watch our favorite player who very often loses control over his own body. But lo, a potential savior arises, and he is called Jan Vesely. ...
Dwight Howard Blocks Little Kid; Little Kid Schools Dwight Howard
If you're a small child and you want to go one-on-one with Dwight Howard, now seems to be the time to strike. Previously, we saw him dunk on and block the crap out of a small Wizards fan, and now we have him taking on a pint-sized Kings fan. But this game comes with a surprise ending....
Prep Hockey Player Scores A Barrel-Roll Goal
This is Alex Hopkins, a senior forward from Wisconsin's WSFLG Blizzard, undressing a defenseman, embarrassing a goalie, and just generally being a whirling dervish of a goalscoring machine in a playoff game on Saturday. His team didn't win, but only because prep rules stupidly don't count this as fi...
The Greek Freak Goes Hunting For Blocks
Giannis Antetokounmpo only got credit for one block on this play, but a hometown scorer would have probably given him two. He barely got a finger on the first ball, but it's safe to assume that the Greek Freak's footsteps and flying limbs had something to do with Tony Wroten biffing it. ...
This Is Just A Terrible, Terrible Goal
If there is an anti-golazo, it's this. Witness, from France, one of the worst goals you'll see. On a penalty, the goalkeeper makes the initial save and as he does a sort of celebratory trot, he's bested by some downright sneaky english. ...
Thomas Robinson's Block Sends Out Shockwaves Of Awesome
Here's a good example of a thing that is particularly cool about the NBA: the way one spectacular play can set off a chain reaction of events that crescendos with an entire arena losing its collective mind....
Jadeveon Clowney's 40-Yard Dash Run Was Ridiculous
Jadeveon Clowney is doing things at the NFL combine today, and he just ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial 4.47 seconds. Jadeveon Clowney is 6-foot-5 and weights 266 lbs. Jadeveon Clowney is not of this world....
Second-Straight Ridiculous Save Sends Accenture Match Play To Hole 21
Victor Dubuisson hit two straight balls into near-impossible spots in the bunkers of holes 19 and 20 of the WGC-Accenture Match Play and hit two nearer-impossible shots to get out. He and Jason Day moved on to hole 21 after this ridiculous shot put him in position to knock down the putt. Jason Day'...
Louisville And Cincinnati Swap Lead Three Times In Final 30 Seconds
After Cincinnati (7) went on a 10-0 run in the last four minutes to get themselves back in it against Louisville (11), the lead changed three times in the final 30 seconds. Thanks to Russ Smith, the Cardinals were on the right end of the eeny-meeny-miny-moe finish and won 58-57....
Here's Gareth Bale's Laser Golazo
If the staccato finesse of Arsenal is not your cup of tea, wet your whistle on the brutality of Gareth Bale. ...
Arsenal Strike Again With Mesmerizing Goal
Tomas Rosicky scored Arsenal's third goal of the game against Sunderland today and it was nearly as pretty as Jack Wilshere's back in October. ...
Jermaine O'Neal Makes Game-Saving Block, Is Very Pleased With Himself
You can give Steph Curry the credit for last night's Warriors' victory if you want to—he did tie the game with a preposterous layup at the end of regulation before scoring seven points in OT, after all—but I prefer to think that this game belonged to old-ass Jermaine O'Neal....
