Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....
The Los Angeles Kings Have Lost The Stanley Cup-Winning Puck
No one could blame the Los Angeles Kings for losing track of anything in the immediate delirium that accompanies the clinching of the franchise's first Stanley Cup, but if there's one thing you're going to want to keep dibs on in the aftermath, it would be the whereabouts of the final puck. Now, it ...
Rugby Celebration Results In Blood-Inducing Flying Head Butt
Scotland had lost seven games in a row and hadn't won in Australia since 1982. So when the Scots won last night's one-off over the Wallabies in Newcastle on Greig Laidlaw's penalty kick in time added, it was somewhat understandable that they nearly lost their heads....
Phillies Fan Goes Knuckle-Deep
I'm not sure what this Phillies fan, who made it up to Citi Field for last night's win over the Mets, should be more embarrassed about. The fact that the cameras perfectly caught him prospecting for green gold, or that he's wearing a division championship shirt. (H/T Debra)...
Look At These Fucking Loopsters: Chronicling The Indy 500
Some maniac on Twitter is scouring the web and documenting the Indianapolis 500 in picture form this afternoon. Here are a few of the snapshots we found most interesting. The whole thing is a wonderful contemplation on absurdity and Americana, however, so you should check it out throughout the day....
The Gibb Brother Who Wasn't In The Bee Gees Died Years Ago Of "Fart Failure," Reporter Says
All this time, it was believed that Andy Gibb died in 1988 of an inflamed heart condition caused by an infection. But Lucy Yang of New York's ABC 7 is here to tell us otherwise....
In Olympic Hurdles Tune-Up, Organizers Forget To Put Enough Hurdles On The Track
Heptathlete Jessica Ennis is one of the U.K.'s best hopes for a gold, and perhaps even more important, could be a crossover celebrity. So the Great City Games in Manchester was a chance for England to show off one of its most telegenic Olympians on a made-for-tv course: a hurdles track running rig...
Clumsy Dodgers Fan Drops Foul Ball, Falls Onto Field, Knocks Over Beer
This poor joker just couldn't do anything right in his pursuit of a ball that was pretty much hit right at him. And to top it off, he was wearing a glove. Watching this, I half-expected to see O.J. Simpson stumble into a bear trap, trip into a wedding cake, and fall off a boat....
Rookie Rangers Reliever Robbie Ross Reveals Wrong Regalia, Receives Ridicule
Texas rookie hurler Robbie Ross found himself in a bit of trouble last night during the second game of the Rangers' doubleheader against Baltimore after removing his sweatshirt when being called to warm up in the bullpen and realizing he was wearing the wrong jersey....
Hunter Accidentally Shoots Girlfriend, Says He Was Aiming For Hog
Ohio or Florida? Florida. The woman is listed in serious condition, and the man is probably thinking he should have used a different excuse. [WKMG, h/t TheCarlosRuizSpanishEnglishDictionary]...
Brian Bosworth Was Probably A Shitty Landlord
The Boz, as he is affectionately known to people from the early nineties who loved mullets and C action films, is being sued for some sort of septic system gone awry in a mansion he owned as recently as 2009. Let's just table the outright absurdity of Brian Bosworth actually owning a mansion in 200...
The <i>Baltimore Sun</i>'s Entire Predators-Red Wings Recap: "Type Here"
It's 2012, so hopefully you're not reliant on the morning paper for game results from the night before. Still, maybe there are a few elderly Baltimore hockey fans a little confused by today's Sun, which omitted the Nashville/Detroit capsule for some very unhelpful dummy text....
Mark Reynolds Is The Worst Third Baseman In Baseball
Yes, even worse than Miguel Cabrera. Last night's Orioles-Yankees game only went to extra innings because Reynolds booted a grounder in the sixth inning that led to a pair of Yankee runs. In the top of the 12th, with the go-ahead runner on third and one out, Reynolds gave perfunctory chase to a f...
Steve Buscemi Is Producing A Documentary On An Indiana High School Basketball Team
Medora High School has one of the smallest student bodies in the state of Indiana—two years ago, the senior class had just 16 students—and the win/loss record of its boys' basketball team suffers as a result. (A lot.) Yet, in 2009, the team's continued perseverance and tenacity caught the attention ...
Tripping Basketballs: Hoopsters Are Alive And Well At The Ultra Music Festival
While we declared the end to the Hoopster trend a year and a half ago, the Hoopsters show no signs of quitting—certainly not at this past weekend's Ultra music fest in Miami. For the uninitiated, Ultra is the social event for college kids who love Ecstasy and sort of like electronic music. Here are...
Devin Setoguchi Falls On His Ass In Season's Worst Shootout Attempt
The Wild, down three with four minutes remaining in regulation, miraculously sent the game to overtime on Devin Setoguchi's goal with ten seconds left. It's hero and goat for Setoguchi, who wiped out on Minnesota's last shootout attempt. Since forward progress was stopped, Carey Price didn't need ...
The Nets Pulled Off A Perfect Double Alley-Oop
This one was executed so perfectly, it's almost as if the Nets drew up this double alley-oop in the first quarter of a win over the Mavericks. While it's not the first one we've seen this season, DeShawn Stevenson to MarShon Brooks to Kris Humphries certainly breaks the record for most capital let...
Pirates Owner's Response To Team President's DUI Gives Us The Best Headline Of The Day: "Nutting Right On Coonelly"
I'm pretty sure the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette intends to tell us that columnist Ron Cook thinks Pirates owner Bob Nutting is correct for continuing to support team president Frank Coonelly, whose DUI arrest in December just became public knowledge yesterday. The headline was no doubt written that way ...
Fox Sports Typo Has Gary Carter Growing Up In The Great Depression
Presumably it was a typo that gave Gary Carter the birth year of 1926 in Foxsports.com's front page splash, but it's an odd typo considering it's not close to his actual birth year of 1954. An emailer suggests he was confused with professional bowler Don Carter. We wish the Kid had another 28 years ...
Torrey Pines Cut Kyle Stanley One Of Those Oversized Checks Before His Epic Collapse At No. 18
And it was discovered under the grandstand, sometime after Stanley fell apart at the conclusion of yesterday's Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley had a three-stroke lead when he got to No. 18, where he tried to lay up, only to land his ball in the water, after which he three-putted. Who hasn't been th...
