The Game-Winning Goal Doesn't Usually Come From 60 Yards Out In Stoppage Time
Inigo Martinez, a defender for Real Sociedad, broke open a 2-2 tie against Real Betis yesterday with a goal from about 60 yards out.

The Look Of Horror On This Punter's Face Is Priceless
Michigan punter Will Hagerup's muffed attempt to receive a snap in the second half of the Wolverines' battle against rival Ohio State left him mortified—and it's even better when slowed down 20x and set to indie music, this time "Scared of Love" by Small Factory. [ABC]...

The Eagles' Nine-Minute Game-Winning Drive in 90 Seconds
To the surprise of just about everyone last night, Vince Young—whose play up until this point in the game could generously be described as erratic—led an 18-play, 80-yard death march of a touchdown drive that would eventually decide the game.
