Robbie Findley Missed An Open Net From Two Yards Out
He didn't even come particularly close, either. The US national and Nottingham Forest striker will be rueing this one, from the first half of today's FA Cup replay at Leicester City....
Chandler Parsons Just Dunked On JaVale McGee
Sure, it's a tip-slam, but if you're 7'0" JaVale McGee then the likes of Chandler Parsons should not be dunking on you—under any circumstances. Parsons then rides around with his crotch in McGee's face for a few seconds just added to the degradation, but these sorts of things are how a team like ...
Washington State Head Coach Ken Bone Eats It On The Court
Halfway through the second half of the hotly contested battle for the state of Washington, Wazoo head coach Ken Bone is just a tad too exuberant with his request for a timeout. I hope, for his sake, he was able to pick up the spare. [FSN] ...
Jamaal Magloire Airballed A Free Throw In Spectacular Fashion
12 seconds left, game on the line. In whose hands do you want the ball? Definitely not Jamaal Magloire, who sealed a Pacers win by airballing his first free throw and bricking (but at least catching rim) on the second. [TSN]...
Somebody Stole Magic Johnson's Cue Cards
We already knew that Magic Johnson, a member of ESPN's NBA studio team, is terrible at delivering serious-faced post-game monologues straight from the cue cards. Here is further evidence that this man should not be on the mic, ever—and especially not without those cue cards. He sounds like a barit...

Total Prick Drops A Woman Outside A Hollywood Club And Nobody Drops Him
I know not where in Hollywood, Cal. this huge brawl featuring "guys hitting girls, girls hitting guys, girl on girl, guy on guy - it was absolute chaos" went down. But what I do know is this: In light of all the carrying-on about finding the Flyers fans who dropped the Jersey War Hero Wearing A Ra...
Obie The Orange Bowl Mascot Leaves The Hospital, Probably With A Really Intense Painkiller Addiction
It's been nearly a week since Obie was destroyed by WVU's Darwin Cook, and he (she!) is in for a lifetime of physical therapy and never-ending pain. But, baby steps. The Orange Bowl tweeted a photo of Obie leaving the hospital this afternoon, with a message for Cook....
Professional Bowler Does Thing You Usually Only See From The Very Drunk
Josh Blanchard is a rookie PBA bowler. If he manages to have a long career in pro bowling, he's unlikely to ever live this moment down, from a World Championship qualifier in Las Vegas today....
Kansas State Did Not Blow Away Arkansas, But Not For A Lack Of Trying
Your morning roundup for Jan. 7, the day we learned how to make it in this crazy, mixed up city (or cities in general). Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors....
After Being Leveled By Darwin Cook, The Orange Bowl Mascot Will Never Juice Again
This actually came at the end of the 99-yard fumble recovery we showed you last night, and raises a greater paradox than Schrödinger's cat: how do you decapitate a mascot that is only a head? Darwin Cook tried his damndest with a clothesline on Obie, the anthropomorphic Orange Bowl orange....
The Orange Bowl Brought Us The Schrödinger's Cat Of Touchdowns
One thing is sure: a touchdown was scored on this play. Regardless of the officials' final verdict (they ruled in favor of West Virginia) there's still plenty of doubt as to exactly which team scored it. [ESPN]...

We think this is Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Rudolph pulling a Spaulding in the first quarter of the Rose Bowl; here it is in full forensic-quality slow-mo and zoomed-in just for your enjoyment. [ESPN]...
The Capital One Bowl Brought Us The Rare Defensive PAT
You won't see this play in the No Fun League (defenses cannot score on a PAT in the NFL) but college football still permits the glory that is sprinting the length of the field with a measly two points as reward, an opportunity of which South Carolina's Stephon Gilmore made the most....
Your Dumbass NFL Play Of The Season Stars Packers KR Pat Lee
The Packers' usual kick returner is Randall Cobb, but he's out with an injury. In stepped Pat Lee, who has completely bungled his kick returns so far today—the most egregious example of which came after Detroit's opening touchdown in which Lee drops the ball out of the end zone, then downs it back...
Drew Bledsoe Is A Big Fan Of <i>Caddyshack</i>, Filming Televised Nose Pickers With His Camera Phone
Although we have better resources for providing high quality video from sporting even broadcasts, we figured we'd share this with you. That's because the Zapruder to this head shot was (apparently) Drew Bledsoe....
