High Schooler Kicks Mesmerizing 70-Yard Punt On Clearly Flawed Field

Mike Wallace Snags A TD With Damarious Randall Glued All Over Him<em></em>
This throw from Joe Flacco looks extremely ill-advised on first glance, with Green Bay’s Damarious Randall giving no space and covering Mike Wallace perfectly as he runs towards the end zone. But somehow, Flacco found a seemingly nonexistent window to fit the ball through, and Randall could do nothi...
Danielle Hunter Sacks A QB And An RT At The Same Time
The Rams’ Rob Havenstein was in perfectly fine position to block Danielle Hunter as he went to take down Jared Goff. But Havenstein’s strength was nowhere near enough. Hunter plowed right through the powerless L.A. right tackle, getting the third-down sack on Jared Goff without having to avoid block...
Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail
Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play. It went as well as any other McAdoo decision this year, with Vereen ...

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Highly Dedicated Referee
Good wrestling referees will not hesitate to contort their body in whatever ways will afford them the best view of the action on the mat. You have to be locked in, and you have to commit. As this referee demonstrates, that means you sometimes have to motor across the mat like a damn skink....
Artem Anisimov's Third-Period Hat Trick Was Just What The Blackhawks Needed
Artem Anisimov is in his ninth season in the NHL and he has, apparently, not been thinking about this moment.

Pau Gasol Gets A Front-Row Seat To Dennis Smith Jr.'s Giant Dunk
Everyone from LeBron James on down knows that Mavs rookie Dennis Smith Jr. is an awe-inducing athletic talent with a penchant for all-out slams, so you can’t blame Pau Gasol for wanting a glimpse of Smith’s abilities for his own. As Smith dribbled with Gasol on him at the top of the arc, the veteran...

Today is the USMNT’s first game back on the pitch since The Loss.

Which they did! Until they didn’t....

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Maryland Fan's Refusal To Lose At Musical Chairs
In a game of musical chairs, what do you do if someone gets to the last chair before you? Do you try to remove them from the chair, or do you, as this Maryland basketball fan did, remove the chair from them?...
Jaguars Run A Fake Punt For A 56-Yard TD
Up 37 early in the season against Baltimore in London, Jacksonville decided not to limit themselves. They ran a fake punt to running back Corey Grant for a huge gain of 58, setting up another score against a then-helpless Ravens defense....
Maurice Harris Might Have Just Made The Catch Of The Year
This outstretched one-handed falling grab right on the sideline by Washington’s Maurice Harris initially looked like an impressive failure, with the play ruled out of bounds. But on further review, the catch was good, and Harris had come down with one of the best plays of the year....
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....
