Soccer Player Crumples In Shame After Sending Penalty Kick Straight To The Moon
When standing over a late, potentially match-winning penalty against top-of-the-table opposition, as Zwolle captain Bram van Polen found himself in yesterday’s game against AZ Alkmaar, the last thing you want your resulting shot attempt to inspire in the crowd is an immediate wave of shocked horror....
Dunk Attempt Ends In Flying Knee
At the Sturgeon Heights Pros vs. Joes event last week, former CFL player Jordan Reaves attempted to entertain attendees by dunking a basketball over Ismail Zaid. He certainly entertained everyone (except for maybe Zaid), though he did not come close to actually accomplishing the dunk....
Nick Kyrgios Played Some Actual Tennis This Year, Too
You can lead Nick Kyrgios to a Slam, but you can’t make him win matches. Maybe he takes two sets against an overwhelmed second-round opponent before deciding that tennis was not a particularly fun way a way to pass the time, and gets booed off home court. Maybe it was time to return to basketball, h...
Jozy Altidore Leads Toronto To Championship In MLS Title Game Rematch
A 67th-minute Jozy Altidore goal led Toronto to a 2-0 win over Seattle that earned his team its first-ever MLS championship and avenged last year’s MLS title match loss to the Sounders....
Army Beats Navy After Late, Old-School Touchdown Followed By Last-Second FG Miss
Army has its first win streak against Navy in 20 years after a 14-13 win in a snow-soaked game that resembled the sport’s earthbound origins more than perhaps any other game played this season....
Falcons Win In Wild Finish After Brees Interception And Payton Penalty
Atlanta overcame three Matt Ryan interceptions to come back and beat New Orleans, thanks to Saints quarterback Drew Brees throwing his own awful interception with his team in game-tying field goal range followed by Sean Payton drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that prevented his team from e...
It's Better When Bradley Beal Just Shoots A Lot
I don’t know exactly what Bradley Beal had been trying to do in the five consecutive games the Wizards played without John Wall prior to last night’s visit to the Blazers in Portland. The Washington Post’s Candace Buckner has it that he was trying to create shots for others in the absence of one of ...
Give This Camera Person A Raise
Here’s a fairly mundane play from last night’s game between the Raptors and Suns, which was made spectacular by the quick thinking of the camera operator under the basket....

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Failed Dive
Diving is an impressive sport. Athletes train endlessly so they can nail near-perfect dives, over and over. Even at the high school level, it’s pretty cool....
Serie A Keeper Scores Ridiculous Stoppage Time Goal On Flying Header
AC Milan had a 2-1 lead on last place Benevento in the 95th minute today, with Benevento setting up for a free kick deep in Milan territory. You know what that means: the underdogs pulled keeper Alberto Brignoli forward to load up the box. And is there any way I would be showing you this video if Br...
Tarik Cohen Runs Like 90 Yards For 61-Yard Punt Return TD
Nothing gets a fan screaming in fear and disgust like a punt returner running the wrong way, but when the 49ers kicked to the Bears’ Tarik Cohen, the Chicago returner made the worst possible decision seem like a perfect one. Cohen received the punt at his own 40 yard-line and ran back to his 25 whi...
Here Is The Exact Moment The Suns Gave Up
The Phoenix Suns were actually up by two on the Celtics in the third quarter in Boston yesterday, but they didn’t show much interest in keeping that lead. With the Suns on defense, some miscommunication led to Marcus Smart having an entire half of the court to himself. Smart couldn’t knock down the ...
TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs. A nine-play TCU touchdown drive made it 17-7, and, after a missed Oklahoma field goal, the Horned Frogs got right back to work, us...
Georgia Tech Lost On A Last Second Own-Basket
Oh man. Georgia Tech spent the final ten minutes of their game Friday night against underdog Grambling State scrambling back from a 16-point deficit, finally grabbing a one-point lead on a Jose Alvarado three-pointer with 1:02 left on the game clock. The teams traded free throws over the next 30 sec...
LeBron James Is Just A Normal 33-Year-Old Guy
Just in his 15th year on the job, doing regular stuff....
Giannis Bullied The Blazers
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is Shaq now, did not have his greatest game against the Blazers last night, scoring 20 points on 7-of-20 shooting in the Bucks’ 103-91 win. He also did some very rude things to some people. ...
Wayne Rooney Scored From Half Field And Maybe Saved Everton
Everton came into today’s game in 17th place in the league and only two points ahead of their opponents, West Ham. A loss would have sunk them into the relegation zone and extended their run of trash performances. They won 4-0, thanks to a goal from Ashley Williams (who is still butt) and a hat tric...
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....
