Someone Please Just Reform The Education System Already
We'd like to thank Run Up The Score for directing us to this Pittsburgh sports fan, who gives us his rendition of the Cotton Eyed Joe dance — we are sad to know such a song actually has its own dance — that he plans on performing at a future Penguins game. He is also illustrating the true genius of ...

"OHIO STATE!!!!!!"
This video, from a Fox News report from Columbus on the death of former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, shows the inherent danger in doing any kind of live report near Ohio Stadium, pretty much at any time. Though, to be fair, we think this lady might just yell this all the time, anywhere she is, re...

Naked Smart People!
Because nothing's better than an Ivy League streaker, here's video of a guy somehow making it onto the field of The Big Game last Saturday between Harvard and Yale....

This Is What It's Like When Parents Collide
We take you home today with outstanding home video of a Pee Wee football league parents fight in Corpus Christi, Tex. It has been reported on already, but this is the first time we've seen a video of it....

Ghostin' All The Way To Fremont
Ghostriding. For those of you too white — unlike us; we're totally down, totally, totally, absolutely — to be familiar with the practice, ghostriding "involves the driver and/or passengers of any given vehicle exiting while it is still rolling and dancing beside it or on the hood or roof." We've nev...

The Joy Of The 2006 Skins

Football Is So Painful Sometimes
Another beautiful thing about YouTube: It can so aptly capture that moment when being a sports fan is at its worst, when the world is entirely out of your control, when events conspire against you and just make you want rage, rage, RAGE against all that has been taken from you....

Pointing Out The Idiocy Of A New Rule
A truly outstanding find from The Wizard Of Odds: Apparently, during the Joe Paterno broken leg game between Penn State and Wisconsin — JoePa's return has been pretty amazing, by the way; the guy's coaching this week — Badgers coach Bret Bielema either discovered a loophole in the controversial new ...

Thinking Good Thoughts For JoePa
If you haven't seen the "highlight" yet, here's video of Joe Paterno's broken leg accident on Saturday. We are extremely fond of Paterno — we always find him lovable; we want him to read us a story or something — and hope he has a speedy recovery, or as speedy a recovery that a 79-year-old man can h...

Block A Shot And Boogie: A Day In The Life Of Isiah
This is an older video, and we've never seen it ... but that doesn't make it any less hypnotic. Shake it, Isiah ... SHAKE IT!...

Isn't It True, Mr. Paterno??!!
If you've been hanging out at Every Day Should Be Saturday at all recently, you've seen some of their great political attack ads between conferences; the above is the SEC going after the Big East, including a still from The Age Of Innocence. Clay Travis at CBS Sportsline looks at some potentially gr...

Survivor Never Gets Old
We've all heard some pretty great soccer goal calls in the past, but we might have never heard a more spirited one than this one. Frankly, we think all goals/runs/touchdowns/points should be announced in song....
