Goalie Doesn't Know Shootout Started, Still Makes Save
Former and maybe future NHLer Paul Bissonnette is currently playing in the AHL for the Manchester Monarchs. He posted a pretty funny video on Instagram from the team’s shootout against the Hartford Wolf Pack earlier today. Apparently it was so loud at Hartford’s XL Center that the Manchester goalie—...
Jeff Green Dunk Annihilates Entire Nation
Jeff Green threw down a dunk during tonight’s game against the Wizards that certainly shook anyone and everything associated with Washington, D.C. that we should expect to awake tomorrow to pure and unadulterated anarchy....
Carlos Tevez Scores Indirect Free Kick From 6 Yards Out
Every once in awhile you see an indirect free kick—meaning a goal can only be scored if it touches one other player first—awarded only a few yards away from the goal. In this case, the referee judged that the Empoli goalkeeper picked the ball up after it was deliberately passed back to him by a te...
Professional Soccer Team Somehow Fails To Score On 5 vs. 1
Down 0-1 in stoppage time yesterday in a Swiss Super League match against Young Boys, FC Vaduz sent nearly everybody forward in attack. When that attacked was repelled, it left Vaduz facing what you see in the thumbnail above: an unprecedented five on one for Young Boys. But with a wealth of profita...
Charlie Adam Scores Goal Of The Season From His Own Half

Wayne Rooney Perfection Gives Man United The Advantage They Need
Don’t look now—and Aston Villa may still find the equalizer, having scored just a minute after this—but Wayne Rooney is up to his usual tricks, with a physics-defying touch followed by a half-volley on the rise, between two defenders. The full video, with perfect commentary, is below:...
This Tim Howard Save Is Amazing
Tim Howard has earned a good amount of criticism for his play this season, but there’s no denying his save in the first half today against Southampton was top-class: ...
Warriors Top Suns In A Bonkers Final 30 Seconds
The first 47:30 of the Warriors-Suns game was mostly forgettable, but the final half minute had as much drama as you could ever hope for. Down two, the Warriors got four cracks at the basket—good defensive rebounding, Suns—with Stephen Curry finally nailing a three with eight seconds remaining: ...
Ryan Johansen Scores The Chillest Shootout Goal You'll See
Ryan Johansen’s signature shootout move is ... to not make any move at all! It sounds like something somebody came up with while high, but it really works. Johansen is 6 of 10 in shootouts this year, and he pulled the same thing three weeks ago too: ...
<i>Another</i> Soccer Team Gets Scored On While Celebrating A Goal Of Its Own
Apparently these Macedonian kids didn't learn the lesson from that match in Mozambique last week....
Brazilian Player Red Carded For Flipping Double Bird At Booing Fans
Internacional's Fabrício is sort of like the Brazilian soccer league's Ron Artest, apparently. In his newest display of losing his mind on the pitch, the full back stopped playing in the middle of a game to shout at fans for booing him, then waved two middle fingers at his verbal assailants before t...
Anthony Bennett, My Friend, What Are You Doing?
You know, it’s been a while since we’ve checked in on former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, the guy who last year turned in one of the saddest rookie campaigns in history. Maybe things are finally starting to look up for him! ...
Hey Steph, Stop Being Mean To Chris
Seeing Stephen Curry drop defenders isn't exactly new, but Chris Paul is one of (if not the) best point guard defenders in the league! This does not happen to him very often....
Vincent Kompany Took An Extremely Audacious Shot Today
I could be convinced that this is the greatest shot attempt in the history of soccer. Once Vincent Kompany continued to juggle the ball forward, he had to attempt this, right? You can't juggle the ball forward 15 yards and not attempt this shot. You can't juggle the ball forward 15 yards and the...
Gareth Bale Has Ugly Shot And Dumb Headband, Still Hits Half-Court Shots
Hm, this is a tough one. You’d think maybe Gareth Bale would flaunt going 3-of-5 in this half-court challenge thing, because damn, that’s some pretty good shooting. But then you remember what his awkward shooting motion looks like, and how goofy he looks with that headband, and you think, You know G...
Patrik Nemeth Got A Puck Caught In His Visor
Dallas Stars defenseman Patrik Nemeth was just minding his own business when Jiri Hudler fired the puck right at Nemeth’s face, at which point the damn thing got caught in Nemeth’s visor. I don’t this is exactly how visors are supposed to protect people from eye injuries, but, hey, whatever works!...
How About We Just Do Two More Weeks Of Wiggins Vs. Gobert
Listen, man, we're all ready for the NBA regular season to be over and for the playoffs to just start already. Russell Westbrook slaying the world is great and all, but the Raptors and Wizards zombie-shuffling their way toward what will be the saddest first-round playoff series in history while the ...
Mike Napoli Mashes Broken Bat Homer
Mike Napoli broke his bat on this swing, and still belted the ball into the upper reaches of Fenway South during a spring training game tonight. This isn't one of those "you notice there is a crack in the bat afterwards" broken bat homers either; this is the real, impressive deal. Those are some p...
Blake Griffin Unveils The Karate Block
When you're a power forward with T-Rex arms, you have to go looking for more creative ways to go about blocking shots. Thanks to Blake Griffin, all the short-armed big men out there have a new move to try....
Gareth Bale Strikes Perfect Free Kick To Score For Wales
It is a dreary day for soccer fans, with the usual slate of dozens of club matches interrupted for a handful of international ones. But at least we have some competitive Euro 2016 qualifiers, where we can see the Welsh Gareth Bale unleash this free kick goal against Israel. With a golden generatio...
