Michigan quarterback Shane Morris took a nasty, and illegal, hit to the skull in the fourth quarter of last night's loss to Minnesota. Not only was Morris immediately re-inserted into the game, but Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke claimed " I didn't know if [Morris] had a concussion or not."...
ODU Streaker Spikes Football, Evades Security (For A While) [NSFW?]

Mike Moustakas Catches Woman's Face Instead Of Foul Ball
One of the best things about baseball is that fans sit precisely zero feet away from the field.
