You Will Never Be As Good At Anything As Barcelona's 12-Year-Olds Are At Soccer
While the rest of the soccer world was getting injured on the international break, the little tots of Barcelona’s Alevin A squared off with their counterparts in Madrid for an incredibly entertaining Mini-Clasico. The Blaugranitas won 2-0 in the final of the Mediterranean International Cup, and prod...
Boban Marjanovic Executes Slowest Dunking-On In NBA History
Gregg Popovich rested his starters last night in Oklahoma City, or rather, he unleashed Boban Marjanovic on the Thunder. He didn’t exactly play very well (somehow he only grabbed six rebounds?), but he did manage to pull off the most glacial dunk of the 2016 season, over 60 percent of OKC’s starting...
Get A Load Of This Wondergoal Jamie Vardy Scored Against Germany
This right here is a real beauty. Nathaniel Clyne hit a perfect cross to Jamie Vardy, who did a little bit of magic to backheel it past a spinning Manuel Neuer without even looking at the damn goal. ...
When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Kla...
Novak Djokovic Catches Skied Ball In His Pocket, Narrowly Avoids Penile Catastrophe
Novak Djokovic beat Kyle Edmund in the Miami Open last night in straight sets, but more importantly, he used his pocket to make this spectacular catch on a ball that went way up there....
Hlompho Kekana Scores From Past Midfield To Give South Africa Lead

Aluminum Bat Flips Can Be Righteous Too
Miami Hurricanes star right fielder Willie Abreu has had one hell of a week. Last Friday, he dinged a walk off grand slam to beat Louisville. The Canes were taking on Clemson last night and had a comfortable lead until their bullpen blew a five-run lead....
J.J. Redick's Game-Winner Was Made Possible By Chris Paul's Nutmeg Inbounds
So this is a game-winning shot by J.J. Redick (at least one Dookie had a good night), but it’s not even the most impressive thing in this clip. Watch it again, and pay attention to Chris Paul’s inbounds pass. He is being guarded by 6'11" Mason Plumlee, who was brought into the game specifically to d...
D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop
D.J. Stephens of the D-League’s Iowa Energy yammed home this alley-oop during a close win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The cut-off perspective of the Vine may be preferable, as it almost looks like Stephens comes out of nowhere for the slam: ...
This Dumb Keeper Is Soccer's New Trickster God
Just look at this idiot. Maritzburg United goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede, of the South African Premier Soccer League, has developed an incredibly crazy strategy of baiting referees into giving opponents fouls. First, he lures opposing players into his personal space, then intentionally lunges at thei...
James Rodríguez Is Out To Prove He's Still The Shit
Nobody in Madrid much likes Colombian superstar James Rodríguez. His teammates don’t like him, his coach doesn’t like him, the fans don’t like him, the president doesn’t like him, even the local cops don’t like him. At a career crossroad of sorts, with his talent unquestioned but his dedication and ...
Yoenis Cespedes Decides Ball That's <i>Right There</i> Is Unplayable, Allows Inside-The-Park Home Run
A truly amazing spring training lowlight from Mets-Astros this afternoon, as an A.J. Reed ball hit past Yoenis Cespedes stuck at the base of the wall. It didn’t wedge under anything; it wasn’t trapped, or unreachable; it wasn’t obstructed in any way that would have warranted the umpire calling dead ...
Let's Watch All Of The Long-Range Needle-Threading Passes
Midway through the third quarter of the Warriors’ game against the Clippers, Stephen Curry threw this astonishing off-handed bullet pass through a thicket of bodies right on the money to Draymond Green, who yammed it home. Make sure to stick around for that alternate angle. ...
76ers Beaten At The Buzzer By Ridiculous Emmanuel Mudiay Heave
The Philadelphia 76ers were denied their 10th win of the season when Emmanuel Mudiay’s awkward hoist from the Nuggets logo as the buzzer sounded rimmed in....
"That Was Insane! Officially Insane!" Is The Proper Call For LeBron's Reverse Jam
Cavaliers announcer Fred McLeod was wowed by this LeBron James dunk in the third quarter of Cleveland’s 113-104 victory over Milwaukee, and rightfully so....
This Is Just The Dumbest Way To Lose A Bike Race
An incredibly fun two-week run of Belgian cobbled classics started today with Dwars door Vlaanderen, a semi-flat but challenging warm up to the hellish Ronde van Vlaanderen. However, the race almost didn’t happen after terrorist attacks ripped through the Brussels airport yesterday. Race officials c...
Damn, This Dude Flat Out Crushes This Ball
A lot to enjoy here: 1) the shot by Wimbledon’s Jake Reeves itself, coming off an expertly controlled bounding ball and a wallop of a kick that sends the it way up into the air before it dips and swerves into the goal; 2) Reeves’s cocky little strut that he starts right after the ball comes off his ...
Errant Lionel Messi Shot Breaks A Fan's Wrist And Leaves Her Woozy
From the look of Raquel’s careful, handrail-aided steps, the slow wipe of her mouth, her collapse into a seat, and her dazed swaying as she attempts to pick herself up afterward, you’d think that the Villarreal-Barcelona match attendee had just realized, after puking up a quart or so of alcohol, tha...
Jason Chimera Scores Header Goal
The hockey header goal: it is a rare hybrid of sorts, blending parts of both ice hockey and soccer in what sports legend tells us is a myth, but actually happened last night as the Capitals’ Jason Chimera knocked a puck into the net with his noggin and it counted....
